Bad Lender? Your Deals Are Already Dead (Behind the Sale)
Matias and lender Tressa Pope on financing: why your relationship with your lender can make or break a deal, and what every buyer and seller should understand about the financing side of a transaction.
What to know
- Real estate deals live or die by financing: a good lender can save a deal, while a bad lender can blow it up.
- A lender relationship matters on the listing side too. Ask buyers to cross-qualify with a lender you trust before opening escrow, so you know they can actually close.
- Not every deal fits a box. Work with a lender who is comfortable with creative solutions and knows the programs that fit the buyer: first-time buyer, jumbo, VA, and down payment assistance.
- Clear communication and speed are essential, because appraisal and loan contingencies run on tight deadlines.
- Talk to professionals before making assumptions. Every buyer's financial picture is different.
