🇺🇸🏡 CONGRATULATIONS TO THIS VETERAN FIRST-TIME HOMEBUYER!🏡🇺🇸
I can never be 100% certain that a client is going to make it to the closing table…and I’d be lying if I said I ever felt completely confident about this one🫣 BUT…I was determined to give it everything we had!
This veteran was referred to me by their lender. They had no credit score, very limited income, his only tradeline he had was his cell phone to show he could make his payments on time, and he didn’t use technology AT ALL so that was a huge hurdle in today's world. BUT he had his VA benefits, a preapproval letter, and a huge desire to finally own a home...and that was enough for me to say, “Okay…let’s figure this out.” 💪🇺🇸
He found For Sale By Owner home that was off-market, absolutely perfect for him, would go VA, and was priced better than literally anything on market we ever could've found. The sellers were AMAZING to work with and were oh-so-patient with us throughout the process.
I met up with this buyer about ninety-eleven times (give or take 😉), with the help of his good friend and designated driver, to gather the documentation the lender needed because we knew he was getting a killer deal on this home and we weren't going to let anything get in the way of making it his!!
We opened emails together.
We made phone calls together.
We tracked down paperwork together.
We honestly worked through setback after setback and helped him figure out the technology thing one step at a time. 😂
After ALL of that…
HE WAS FINALLY CLEAR TO CLOSE!!! 🎉🔑🏡 (my favorite 3 words😍)
And here's the part that makes me REALLY happy…
👉 He didn't have to bring a dollar to closing.
👉 He actually got a little money BACK!
👉 He walked into homeownership with a LARGE amount of instant equity in his new home! 🙌💰
This one was a TEAM effort, and I couldn't be more proud of what we accomplished. If I can help this man become a homeowner, I'm pretty confident I can help just about anyone who truly wants to make it happen. ❤️
