May Lunch & Learn/Webinar: Options For Every Home Buyer
Options For Every Home Buyer
As a Realtor, have you ever wondered why buyers fit into one program vs another?
Every home buyers scenario is different. When first meeting with a buyer we take a deep dive into there personal financial information. The personal financial information is going to determine our limits for the different loan programs. However, there is much more to it. When we meet we also go over their wants, dreams, and future goals. Here are just a handful of questions that then help to determine the loan program.
- What’s the credit like? – determines available loan options
- How much income is there? – determines the max in which someone is qualified
- How much debt is there? – determines the max in which someone is qualified
- Is there a house to sell? – Plays into the max and how much money is available for down payment and or debt payoff
- What area do they want to live? – property taxes play a huge role in payment and therefore the max price. Also, certain programs don’t work in certain areas.
- Are they looking for acreage? – can affect loan program options
- Do we need to minimize down payment – affects loan program
- Are there major purchases or job changes on the horizon? – could affect loan program and max purchasing power
- Are there other household members not on the loan? – could affect loan program
The list goes on and on, but a good, a GREAT loan officer isn’t going to just take an order. They will sit down and consult with a new borrower. A GREAT Realtor will do the same. At this event we are going to cover all the different loan programs and the major points to each program. We want to give you some of the tools and knowledge to help you be a GREAT agent!
Loan Programs Covered
Here is a list of loan programs we will discuses. When we go over these programs we will be talking general qualifications, down payment requirements, credit scores, program restrictions, and ways we use each program to solve problems and jump thru hoops.
A key element in becoming a high preforming agent is education and training. We want to help you in your journey so we are offering both a live event and zoom webinar for each of our lunch and learns this year.

S.O.S. SAVE OUR SALE
S.O.S. SAVE OUR SALE: WHAT TO DO WHEN YOUR LENDER STALLS WEEKS BEFORE CLOSING!
Did your mortgage lender suddenly go radio silent, request the same bank statement for the fourth time, or drop a last-minute loan denial right before your scheduled closing date?
Yesterday, a panicked real estate agent called my office from Portage. Their buyer had been under contract for three weeks on a home near Milwood. The closing date sat just nine days away.
Out of nowhere, the buyer’s out-of-state call-center lender issued a denial letter. The call-center underwriter miscalculated self-employment write-offs, panicked over an unpermitted porch repair on the appraisal, and threw the entire transaction into the trash can.
