🏡 What if the right strategy could change your buying power by about $60,000?
I recently had a buyer who knew the monthly payment she wanted to stay within. At the same time, my friend and Realtor Melissa Greenwood had a motivated seller who needed his home under contract within a certain timeframe so he could move forward with his next purchase.
So we got creative. 💡
Instead of focusing only on price, the seller contributed toward an interest-rate buydown.
✨ My buyer was able to purchase about $60,000 higher than she originally thought — while still keeping her payment within her budget.
✨ The seller got his home under contract and was able to move forward with his next purchase.
Win for the buyer. Win for the seller. 🤝
Sometimes it’s not about dropping the price. It’s about putting the right people together and structuring the deal differently.
This is the stuff I LOVE figuring out. 🏠💚
