Is your client looking to buy a new home while selling their current one?
If so, they may be stressing out about how they're going to finance their new home. In fact, they might not think it's possible. But with our Simple Bridge, we can help you ease their home buying journey!
Simply put, Simple Bridge is a short-term loan used to bridge the gap between buying a home and selling the previous one. Our conventional loan clients are given the chance to borrow against a portion of their current home's equity to make a down payment to a new home.
