How to Make a Strong Offer in Today’s Market

/by

Are you a Buyer that Keeps Getting Beat on Offers? 

Here is what we do to differentiate your offer over someone else’s, so the seller more often than not, accepts your offer:

  1. We pre-approve you, by running your credit, verifying your income via pay stubs and tax returns, confirm your assets with 2 months of bank statements and review your file to ensure there are no red flags so when you do make an offer, you make it with confidence knowing that 101 Loan has your back!
  2. We will strategize with you and your Realtor, to close in the quickest amount of time with the least amount of contingencies while keeping your risk as low as possible.
  3. At time of offer, we call the listing agent on behalf of you and your Realtor to differentiate your offer over someone else’s. (This makes the biggest difference in the eyes of the listing agent and seller)
  4. We close purchases in 30 days or less, depending on the loan program you choose.  Faster is better in the eyes of the seller!
  5. Our staff provides a timeline to you and your Realtor once you are locked; detailing each step of the transaction to ensure a smooth transaction.
  6. We ensure you know exactly what the loan will cost you once locked and then update you again on the amount needed to close, prior to signing the closing docs.
  7. Our staff will coordinate your sign-off with escrow and your agents to ensure your purchase closes on time as scheduled.
  8. We basically, “micro-manage” your purchase from start to finish to ensure everything goes as smoothly as possible.

Just watch the video, our buyer’s recently posted about their experience in working with us.  We were a team to get the job done in a timely manner while providing low rates, low fees and outstanding service.  See video at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vEhLPDd7sjA&feature=youtu.be.

In closing, if you are looking to purchase a property, contact the professionals at 101 Loan!

Rob’s Market Report…The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly

Hope the week is treating you well! 

For us in lending, it’s a world wind!  Never in 30 years have I worked so many hours per week with such concentration for so long since going Shelter In Place on March 17.  We had a short stay on SIP but that didn’t last long with SIP Chapter 2 commencing, where COVID numbers rapidly increased as the state of California and other states throughout the US lifted social distancing rules.

While COVID has impacted un-employment its done little to nothing in the near term to the Dow Jones which closed at 26,828 today and interest rates have gone lower.  Definitely the lowest I have ever seen them in 30+ years of doing lending.

If you, your friends or family haven’t refinanced and have loans below $765k, have them contact us and we will happily quote them.  Most retail banks are taking 90+ days to close a refi while were still at 45 to 50 days from start to finish.  In addition, if your clients just want an idea of what’s available we can usually respond with a rate update within 24 hours whereas retail banks based on what my clients are saying, can sometimes take, weeks for a response.

Its as simple as completing the following questionnaire and forwarding back to me to run a rate search…See below:

Please complete the following refinance questionnaire or go here to complete online https://101loan.com/refinancing-start/.  Once completed, I will research loan options out of 50 lenders and provide a rate comparison for your review based on the best available rates and loan options.  Any questions at all, please contact me.  Thanks.

1)  Provide your property/mailing address, day and evening numbers.

2)  What is the estimated value of your property and is your dwelling permitted with the city?  In addition, is this property your owner occupied or investment property?   Lastly, is the property a house, townhouse or condo?

3)  What are the balance of your 1st Mortgage-      2nd Mortgage-       3rd Mortgage-

4)  What are the rates on your 1st Mortgage-      2nd Mortgage-       3rd Mortgage-

5)  What are the payments on your 1st Mortgage-      2nd Mortgage-       3rd Mortgage-

6)  Do you want cash out?  If so how much?

7)  How long do you plan on owning the property?

8)  Does your loan have a prepayment penalty?  If so, when does it expire?

9)  When did you purchase your home and for how much?

10) What is your annual, verifiable income and what is your estimated FICO score?

11) Which loan programs are you considering?  Fixed and/or Hybrid?

In closing, if you need help with any type of financing, please contact me.  See current market report at http://www.mmgweekly.com/w/index.html?SID=86df7dcfd896fcaf2674f757a2463eba.

BTW…if you missed my last video on Home Insurance, make sure you watch this.  A client of ours out of the area was just quoted over $10,000 on a 3000 sq ft house as they let their home insurance lapse and unfortunately for them, they are in a risky area “burn wise”.  https://101loan.com/market-update-and-insurance-update-fire-season-is-upon-us/
