I am a listing agent and my seller's house will not sell. What else can I offer?

Offer terms instead of another price cut. When buyers cannot qualify at today's rates, a buyer like Golden Path Homes can take over your seller's existing low-rate mortgage or buy on seller financing. It closes at a title company, the payments run through a third-party servicer, and your commission is paid per the listing agreement.

Why do good listings stall right now?

The buyer pool shrinks when rates rise. A house priced right can still sit because the payment on a new loan is more than local buyers qualify for, and a price cut big enough to fix that eats your seller's equity. Many sellers also hold a loan from a lower-rate year, which is worth more to the right buyer than another reduction.

What creative offers can a listing agent bring to a seller?

How does a deal with Golden Path Homes run?

You send us the address, the loan balance, rate and payment, and what your seller needs to walk away with. We send written terms. If your seller agrees, the deal closes at a title company of your choice, the deed is recorded with the county, and every payment runs through a third-party loan servicer so your seller has an independent record. Your commission is paid per the listing agreement. What a subject-to sale is is a page you can send your seller.

What should my seller understand before agreeing?

In a subject-to sale the loan stays in the seller's name until it is paid off or refinanced, and most mortgages carry a due-on-sale clause. Both belong in the written agreement, and your seller should hear them from you plainly. In a seller-financed sale, the seller is the bank: they collect payments, and the note is secured by the house. Our side is clear terms in writing, a title company closing and a servicer on every payment. We buy as is and can close in as little as 14 days. Send us a listing.
