Introducing Alliance Solutions
The real estate market has evolved tremendously in the past few years. Today we are experiencing a modern market as we have never seen before – think years of innovation in just a few months. This means there are more options than ever before to sell a home. At RE/MAX Alliance, we are committed to offering our clients the latest and best buying and selling solutions. Our Alliance Solutions program lets you choose the best solution for your specific needs and unique situation.
Selling your Home
When it comes to putting your home on the market, there are many alternative selling options, in which you can get a cash offer on your house without listing on the open market. These offers can come from an iBuyer, Investor, or a Bridge Solution. There are advantages of selling to a cash buyer – if your house qualifies and you get an offer – such as convenience, confidence in a very likely closing, and sometimes a faster closing. The tradeoff is your net proceeds will probably be a bit lower. All of these different selling options can be explored using Alliance Solutions.
Open Market is the most common path, where we market your home and give it maximum exposure to generate the most viable offers, ultimately maximizing your net proceeds. We deploy all of our marketing efforts and proven listing strategies here. The classic method of selling a home on the open market and then turning around to purchase a new home is not always the best or easiest option for everyone, especially in a tight market. Alliance Solutions can provide the seller with other options to sell quickly, or sell on a specific timeline.
RE/MAX Alliance and Home Mortgage Alliance have recently teamed up for the Alliance Offers Modern Bridge Solution powered by zavvie. The Modern Bridge is especially notable in today’s market where inventory is limited. Homes are selling quickly, but Sellers are concerned about finding a new home to buy. This new Modern Bridge allows you to buy your next home with certainty and convenience before selling your existing home. The Modern Bridge Program can either help you purchase a new home, or buy your existing home. Either way, you get full market value for your current home, maximizing net proceeds for purchasing power on the new home.
The third home selling option is called Instant Sale. There are many different types of buyers in the market, including iBuyers. RE/MAX Alliance REALTORS® can get cash offers from iBuyers through the Alliance Solutions program. The iBuyer offer was previously viewed as more of a solution for particular homeowners that need to sell quickly – the benefit of Instant Sale is that you will have guaranteed cash offers without the hassle of prepping your home for showings. The problem has always been that simplifying the process with an iBuyer often comes with a cost. No one wants to lose money at the closing table but iBuyer fees have recently declined, making iBuyers a viable option for more sellers. This solution might be perfect for those who value convenience or have time constraints on moving.
Buying a Home
For those considering selling their home, the thought of finding a new home to buy has put them off selling. When every home on the market typically receives at least a dozen offers, how do buyers compete in today’s complicated market?
Entering the real estate market is a huge decision for any buyer today, and RE/MAX Alliance does not take this lightly. We can help clients find a home, make a winning offer, and navigate all the points in-between. RE/MAX Alliance believes in helping as many people as possible on the road to homeownership and we have a few new strategies that will give you a competitive edge over other offers. Alliance Solutions is our new tool for exploring alternative solutions other than competing in the open market.
The traditional way of buying a home is with Mortgage Financing. This is the most common route to homeownership, but in today’s market, buyers who are pre-approved for financing still find it difficult to get their offer accepted. Some buyers want to be able to make a cash offer in order to to stand out from the crowd and have that “edge” to compete. Alliance Solutions has a program to assist in this situation, and increase the chance of success for a winning bid.
Our partnership with Home Mortgage Alliance includes our second in-house solution, the game-changing Cash Offers program. Clients can become a cash buyer and get under contract more quickly with the Cash Offers program. In fact, most clients using Cash Offers go under contract with their first offer. The client is pre-approved and pre-funded by Home Mortgage Alliance, and can write cash offers for a property in 7 business days. The Cash Offer program will close on the client’s new home so that they can move in and lease it back while their lender works to issue the new home loan. The client will then close on their mortgage with Home Mortgage Alliance and purchase their new home from the Cash Offer program at the original price. Their lease ends the moment they purchase the new home.
Sellers participating in the Modern Bridge Program can also take advantage of the Cash Offers program to secure their next home before selling the current one. Even if you are not selling a home, we can still make you a cash buyer. You’ll be equipped with an offer that is four times more likely to close, making it a no-brainer for you and the seller.
