Traditional Financing for the Palmetto Bluff Life
Congratulations on owning one of the premier homesites in the low country of South Carolina! As an owner at Palmetto Bluff you have access to the best construction loan program in the area to provide financing for your building project.
Whether you have an existing lot loan or own your homesite outright, a construction loan from The Kristoff Team can provide the financing options to help you realize the Palmetto Bluff lifestyle.
How it works
If you're planning to build, but not ready to break ground, our lot loan provides financing for the purchase of your lot as you get your plans ready. If you already own a lot, you can choose from a construction-only loan or a construction-to-permanent loan to finance the construction costs. And, if there's a mortgage on the lot, you may be able to roll it in with either construction program.
- Savings. Save time and money with one loan qualification and one set of closing costs
- Certainty. Lock in your interest rate at the beginning of your construction project
- Choices. Choose between a 12-month construction loan or a construction-permanent loan to combine your construction and permeant loan in one.
- Flexibility. Build a primary residence or second home. We offer up to 90% financing on primary residences for well-qualified borrowers
Your Architect. Your Builder. Your Lifestyle.
Our construction programs allow you to select the homesite, architect, and builder giving you maximum control over the design and style of your new home.

What Our Clients are Saying

STEPHEN B. - BLUFFTON, SC
"Excellence from start to finish! We purchased a home in April of 2018 and The Kristoff Team was brilliant. I have several business so my tax returns are not the easiest, but the team handled them like champs…they even found an error in one of my documents and were helpful in getting everything corrected. We discussed several loan programs and reviewed the benefits of each. I was able to pick a program that let me do some minor renovation work on the home. They also sent me emails along with way with video and status updates. The program and rate are great and my wife and I are so thrilled to be the owners of our new home! Would definitely recommend The Kristoff Team to anyone looking for a mortgage."

CHERYL B. - BLOOMFIELD HILLS, MI
"Nick Kristoff was absolutely wonderful to work with on the mortgage for our new home on Hilton Head. He helped us navigate through the tons of paperwork required by the government. Since we currently live in Michigan, the document systems they set up were very helpful in transmitting forms easily and securely over the internet. It was a pleasure doing business with them and if we ever need another mortgage we would definitely go with the Kristoff Team. We highly recommend them to anyone looking to apply for a mortgage."
