The No-Fail Formula for Successful Purchase Agreements

📢READ THIS IF you're a Realtor or Pre-approved Buyer that has recently had a contract fall thru
😟


15%+ of signed purchase agreements are falling through.  As a local mortgage lender, my mission is to do a better job setting expectations as the market remains volatile.⁣

🤝Here is what I've been doing to help my buyers & realtor partners reduce fallout.  

  1. I've reached out to every pre-approved buyer/lead to bring them up to speed on current payment estimates based on market rates.  Many don’t realize the 6.5% I quoted them in August is long gone.  ⁣

  2. I advise them to get an insurance quote that’s tied to their current price range/property type now.  Because insurance premiums are on the rise 📈 across the country (*Especially Here in CA), this helps everyone get aligned on accurate, all-in payment estimates. No more sticker shock.🚫

  3. My team & I run payment estimates before you/your client makes an offer. 🤯 I can’t believe how many buyers are making offers without having an accurate total payment estimate.

Bonus tip:  For very payment sensitive buyers, I advise the Realtor to negotiate a 1% seller credit after they’ve come to an agreed upon price.  For example, if the agreed upon price is $500k, the final contract price will be $505k with $5k back to the buyer to buy down their rate & lower their payment.


If your lender is not doing this, please call me. 😉
