• Satisfy contingencies And you’re locked in for weeks, sometimes months. Without verification, you’re exposed to one of the most expensive risks in real estate: “phantom buyers” who can’t perform. Don’t Assume Just Because They’re “Approved” Pre-approval letters are easy to obtain. They often rely on unverified income and outdated credit data. The only thing that matters is: • Do they have the assets? • Can they meet underwriting conditions? • Will they get final approval on time? Let me answer these questions before you sign a contract. POINTS TO REMEMB O REMEMBER • When you sign a contract with a buyer, you’re taking your home off the market—this can cost you exposure, leverage, and backup offers. • If the buyer’s loan is denied weeks into escrow, you’ve lost valuable time, and other buyers may have moved on. • Prequalifying your buyer before contract protects your time, your leverage, and your final sale price. • I can recommend this service free of charge, with no obligation for the buyer to use my lending partners. • Luxury financing is complex, but with the right guidance, you can ensure your buyer is ready, able, and serious. In a market where the right buyer can appear overnight and deals can move fast, your first offer should be your best offer—not just in price, but in reliability.
Let’s make sure they’re fully ready before you commit.
