Sarah, a real estate agent, turned straw into gold by utilizing the HECM for Purchase Program.
A senior homeowner wanted to sell their current home and use just the net proceeds to purchase a new home. However, every real estate agent they met with resulted in the same outcome. The senior homeowner would not have enough remaining net proceeds to buy their next home, nor did they qualify for traditional financing due to low income and credit issues. When they met with Sarah, it was a different story. Because Sarah knew that the senior homeowner would qualify for a HECM for Purchase, Sarah made it possible for the senior homeowner to list, sell their home, and purchase a new home with NO monthly mortgage payments. The client never dreamed this was possible and thought they would have to stay in their old home and continue to struggle making their monthly mortgage payments. Because Sarah understood the senior homeowner’s needs, she represented them both in selling and buying their house. Click Here for a FREE information kit.

So why did Sarah decide to be informed about senior homeowners’ needs?
Did you know that for the next 15 years, 10,000 baby boomers will turn 65 years old everyday? However, 45% of baby boomers are at risk of not having sufficient savings for retirement. For these homeowners, their home equity may be the number one source for retirement. Of the 21.6 million homes owned by baby boomers, 65%, or 14.1 million homes, are owned free & clear. That is over 6 trillion in senior equity! Best of all, a majority of this equity is located right in California.
How can real estate agents use this information to increase their listings?
There is a tool called a HECM for Purchase. The HECM for Purchase allows seniors to sell their current home and only use a portion of the sale’s proceeds as a down payment towards a downsized or upsized home. The HECM for Purchase makes up the difference of the purchase price and the senior homeowner can decide if they want to make a monthly mortgage payment. They still own their home and remain on title.
