Expanding Leadership at Evergreen Home Loans to Enhance Construction Lending Strategies and Growth

Evergreen Home Loans® Expands Leadership for Construction Lending

In a recent move to enhance its position in the construction lending market, Evergreen Home Loans® announced the promotion of Andrew Leff to Senior Vice President and Head of National Business Development. This strategic elevation expands his responsibilities to include oversight of the firm's construction lending strategies and operations—a crucial aspect of Evergreen's business since 2015.

Commitment to Growth in Construction Lending

As Evergreen redirects its focus on construction lending, this decision underscores its commitment to growing partnerships within the building sector while improving services for builders and homebuyers alike. Since his arrival at Evergreen in 2025, Andrew has been instrumental in launching the innovative financing tool, BuildersEdge. This tool has become a game changer for builders by offering a suite of financing solutions aimed at enhancing their competitiveness in the marketplace.

BuildersEdge: A New Frontier

BuildersEdge provides builders with various strategies for rate management, including options for forward commitments and rate locks, which are essential in navigating the complexities of today's fluctuating interest rates. The program also caters to affordability challenges with temporary and permanent buydown solutions, enabling builders to attract a broader demographic of new-home buyers. This initiative not only helps in establishing new relationships with builders across the nation but also strengthens existing ties.

A Unique Approach to Building Relationships

Robert Lipston, Executive Vice President and Head of Production at Evergreen, expressed confidence in Andrew's approach, stating that successful builder relationships are grounded in understanding and trust.
