How Realtors and Clients Are Benefiting from Renovation Second Mortgage
Here’s the big idea:
Imagine helping your clients unlock renovation funds without touching their ultra-low first mortgage rate. Using a special second mortgage product, they can tap into future appraised value — not just current value — after they close.
✅ No need to delay closing for contractor bids or architectural plans.
✅ Helps buyers get into homes that might need future updates (think growing families!).
✅ Great reason to reach out to your database and re-engage past clients.
Action Steps for You:
- Identify buyers who love a home but wish it had “one more bedroom” or “bigger kitchen.”
- Reach out to past clients sitting on home equity who might want upgrades.
- Share this video with anyone you think could benefit!
P.S. Can I count on you to call us when any friends, family or coworkers are looking to buy, sell or refinance a home? We'd love to help! You can just text/call me at 480.553.8770.
