🔁 Equity Advance

You borrow against the equity in your current home before it sells, so you have cash ready to buy your next home right now. Once your old home sells, you pay it back.

Great if you...

  • Have equity but not enough cash for a down payment
  • Don’t want to sell first and scramble to find a new home
  • Need a short bridge — paid off in 4 months when your home closes

🔓 No-Contingency Unlock

Removes the “I have to sell my house first” condition from your offer. Sellers love this because the deal won’t fall apart waiting on your sale. You also get access to your equity to help with the purchase.

Great if you...

  • Keep losing offers because sellers don’t want a contingent buyer
  • Want to unlock equity before your home sells
  • Have at least 30% equity in your current home

⬆ Trade Up Program

Removes the home sale condition and gives you access to your equity for the purchase. Works for homes with more mortgage balance and gives you a full 6-month window to sell without pressure.

Great if you...

  • Have more mortgage balance but still want to buy before selling
  • Want a full 6 months to sell without feeling rushed
  • Are moving up to a larger or higher-priced home

🏠 Move with One Mortgage

Uses both your current home and your new home to get you into the new home with little or nothing out of pocket. No monthly payments during the process — everything is settled when your old home sells.

Great if you...

  • Have most of your money tied up in home equity, not in the bank
  • Want to move without depleting your savings
  • Can close quickly — as little as 10 days

💵 Cash Advantage Offer

You’re still getting a mortgage, but your offer looks just like cash to the seller. No appraisal condition. No financing condition. Makes you far more competitive where cash buyers usually win.

Great if you...

  • Are buying in a competitive market with multiple offers
  • Keep getting beat out by cash buyers
  • Are buying a primary residence under the conforming loan limit

🛡 DTI Shield

If carrying two mortgages at once pushes your debt-to-income ratio too high to qualify, this program lets us leave your old home payment out of the equation so you qualify more easily.

Great if you...

  • Are told you don’t qualify because of your current mortgage payment
  • Have at least 20% equity in your current home
  • Don’t need a bridge loan — just need the income math to work
