Financing Options Homeowners Actually Want: A Contractor’s Guide

Why Financing is Now a Homeowner Expectation

Today’s homeowners are accustomed to financing nearly everything — from cars to cell phones to furniture. When it comes to major home improvement projects like a new HVAC system, roof replacement, or a kitchen remodel, they expect the same convenience.

Yet many contractors still leave financing out of the conversation. The result? Homeowners either delay the project, choose a lower-quality option, or hire a competitor who does offer financing.

For contractors, understanding what homeowners actually want in financing is key to closing more sales and building lasting customer relationships.

What Homeowners Look for in Financing

Homeowners don’t just want financing — they want financing that feels clear, quick, and fair. BuyFin was built with these needs in mind.

1. Transparency and Simplicity

Homeowners want to know exactly what they’re signing up for:

• Clear monthly payments
• No hidden fees
• Easy-to-understand terms

2. Fast Approvals

Nobody wants to wait days for a decision. With BuyFin, approvals happen in minutes, often during the same sales appointment.

3. Options for All Credit Types

Not every customer has perfect credit. A wide lender network — like the one offered by BuyFin — ensures more approvals across a range of credit profiles.

4. Flexible Payment Terms

Some homeowners want low monthly payments over time; others prefer shorter repayment terms. Offering multiple options makes financing appealing to a wider audience.

The homeowner chooses the option that fits their budget, and you secure the contract today.

Why Contractors Must Adapt to New Expectations

Homeowners no longer view financing as a luxury — they expect it. A 2024 industry survey found that:

• 74% of homeowners are more likely to hire a contractor who offers financing.
• 61% of contractors say offering financing increased their close rates.
• Projects with financing averaged 25–40% higher ticket sizes compared to projects without.

Contractors who don’t provide financing risk falling behind competitors who do.
