Frequently asked questions
Why do you ask for $500 to prequalify me?
Prequalification involves real work with the bank. The reservation confirms your intention to buy, and we commit to your home: it is reserved for you for 30 days and we do not show it to anyone else.
Is the $500 an extra fee?
No. It is credited towards the price of the home when you buy. It is part of the payment, not a commission.
What if the bank does not approve my loan?
We refund the full $500. It is not your fault and you lose nothing.
What happens if I change my mind?
If you withdraw because you no longer want to buy, we refund $100. The rest covers the work of reserving the home and managing your prequalification.
I cannot find my home in your listings. What should I do?
Pay the same $500 reservation and we help you search for 30 days, within and beyond our listings: in-person or video viewings, negotiation and legal paperwork. If we do not find a home for you within 30 days, we refund 50% ($250).
How do I pay?
By card (Payphone) or bank transfer. After you complete the form, we show you the payment details and a reference to include in the transfer description.
