How It Works

3 Easy Steps

1

Unlock Equity From Your Current Home

Our program allows you to borrow equity in your current home at 0% interest to use as a down payment on your next home purchase.

2

Buy Your Next Home With Confidence

Because you can make an offer on your next home without a home sale contigency, you can negotiate the best possible price and contract terms.

3

Move Into Your Next Home Then Sell Your Current Home

Move into your next home and then list your current home for sale. You’ll only move once and won’t have to live in your current home while it’s on the market.

Program FAQs

Answers to commonly asked questions about our Buy Before You Sell loan progam.

How much does the program cost?

It's free to get started and to see how much home equity you can unlock from your current home. If you decide to use the program, there is a flat fee of 2.4% of the sales price of your current home ($9,000 minimum). The fee is due when your current home is sold. There is also an inspection fee of about $900 along with a closing services fee of $1,450.

However, if you use your own funds for the down payment on your next home and only need our program to solve your debt-to-income ratio problem to be able to qualify for two homes at the same time, we will reduce the program fee to only 1.5% of the sales price of your current home ($7,000 minimum).

Do all homes qualify for the program?

Most homes qualify for the program assuming they are in relatively good condition, not extremely unique, and are located within a reasonable distance of a major metropolitan area. Homes must be between 750 to 5,550 sq ft and be located on 5 or less acres of land. Manufactured homes, homes in age restricted communities, and homes that are undergoing major renovations do not qualify. Single family residences, condos, and townhomes all qualify for the program.

What happens if my home doesn't sell within 120 days?

If your current home doesn't sell within 120 days of purchasing your next home, it will purchased through the program and your existing mortgage will be paid off. Your home will continue to be marketed for sale by your listing agent, and when it sells, you will keep 100% of the net proceeds after deducting the program costs and any holding costs incurred during that time period.

How am I able to qualify for two homes?

Because you have a guaranteed backup offer in place to purchase your existing home if it doesn't sell within 120 days, the liability of your current home will not count against you when qualifying for your next home.

How much equity can I unlock?

The amount of equity you can unlock is determined by evaluating your home's value and current market conditions. Typically, the program lends up to 70% of the loan-to-value of your current home.

For example, if the market value of your current home is $500,000 and the remaining mortgage balance for your home is $250,000, you could unlock $100,000 in equity to use as a down payment on your next home purchase. ($500,000 * 0.7 - $250,000)

Equity unlock is limited to $2M.

How long does the process take?

Once you submit your loan application and provide the necessary property photos, we can typically issue a pre-approval letter to you within 24 hours, allowing you to proceed swiftly with the purchase of your next home.

Shay has been excellent in working with me right from the beginning. I felt he didn’t look my refinance as another file but took personal interest in advising me the best route. He also locked me on excellent rate where corporate banks were about 0.6 percent higher.
