About this Event
Help Your Buyers Overcome Interest Rate Challenges and Discover More Financing Options!
Are high mortgage interest rates keeping your buyers on the sidelines? Are you losing potential transactions because buyers are concerned about monthly mortgage payments or home affordability?
As a Realtor, understanding creative mortgage financing strategies can make a difference in how you educate your clients, handle affordability objections, and help buyers confidently navigate today's real estate market.
Join us at Point Realty in Mansfield, TX, for a FREE Realtor Lunch & Learn featuring Karen Rymer with Cardinal Financial, as we break down one financing option every real estate agent should understand: the 2-1 Mortgage Rate Buydown.
What You'll Learn
- How a 2-1 Rate Buydown Works: Understand how a temporary interest rate buydown reduces the buyer's mortgage interest rate during the first two years of the loan.
- Making Homeownership More Affordable: Explore how lower initial monthly mortgage payments can help buyers manage the early costs of homeownership.
- Overcoming Buyer Financing Objections: Learn how to discuss interest rate concerns and introduce financing options that buyers may not know are available.
- Seller Concessions & Builder Incentives: Understand how seller contributions and new construction incentives may be used toward temporary mortgage rate buydowns.
- When a 2-1 Buydown Makes Sense: Learn important considerations, limitations, and questions to discuss with your preferred mortgage lender before recommending this strategy.
- Real-World Buyer Scenarios: See examples of how a 2-1 buydown can affect mortgage payments and help buyers evaluate their options.
Why Realtors Should Attend
Whether you're working with first-time homebuyers, move-up buyers, new construction clients, or sellers looking for creative ways to attract buyers, understanding mortgage rate buydowns can help you become a more knowledgeable and valuable resource.
The goal isn't just to understand the financing terminology. It's to help you have better conversations, educate your clients, and recognize opportunities that might otherwise be overlooked.
