Why Should a Seller Involve a Mortgage Associate into the Home Selling Equation?

One thing that many Realtors® have learned is the importance of having a team of professionals to facilitate a smooth transaction for their sellers. Having a Mortgage Associate on the team can make available the following services to you as a home seller and all for FREE: 

• Mortgage Associates can screen all potential buyers. Today’s mortgage world is a rapidly changing environment with programs and requirements changing regularly. A good Mortgage Associate is up-to-date on all of the current guidelines and can find the best solutions for clients. As a seller you need to know that when you accept an offer, the buyer will actually be able to close. 
• Financing is a very important aspect of getting a home sold. Mortgage Associates can assist with marketing flyers, legal and appraisal fees, and unique mortgage strategies to differentiate your home. A good Mortgage Associate has the ability to help increase the number of people for whom your home might be a fit. More prospects equal higher sales prices. 
• Mortgage Associates will also ensure that you are able to clear the title of your home should it sell. Your property value may have declined since you originally purchased your property or you financed with either 100% financing or perhaps a 40 year amortization. Potentially there may not be sufficient proceeds from the sale of your property to pay the penalties or fees for an early payout of your mortgage. This is something you should know before you list your home. A Mortgage Associate can assist you with calculating any penalties and recommending the right strategies to sell your home with no last minute surprises to ensure that you can provide a clear title to the buyer. 
• And finally, your Mortgage Associate knows that most home sellers become home buyers. They will assist you with a pre-approval so you can move into your next home with ease. 

Both your Realtor® and Mortgage Associate on your team are committed to the highest level of advice and integrity. Any questions, just give us a call at (306) 244-7755 or email to devinandwes@yourmortgagelink.ca.
