Three Fairway IMC Programs to Compete with Cash Offers
- Advantage Pre-Approval: Loan approval provided before you even go househunting – this conditional approval offer makes your bid stand out as stronger and improves your chances of winning the home!
- Cash Guarantee: For no additional fees, the borrower can provide a “cash guarantee” to the seller through the mortgage lender, allowing the seller peace of mind and competing with promising cash offers the seller may receive.
- Lock, Shop & Go: Haven’t found your house yet but worried about the rising mortgage rates? This program allows you to fix your rates before they spike, giving you a financial breath of fresh air.
