What if the best mortgage option for your client isn’t a new loan? There’s a mortgage strategy most agents and even lenders don’t talk about.
Not because it doesn’t work, but because it doesn’t benefit them the same way. It’s called an assumable mortgage, and it could completely change how buyers afford homes in today’s market.
In this episode of Real Estate Insiders Unfiltered, Ryan Thomson, also known as “The Assumable Guy,” breaks down how this strategy works and why it’s making a comeback right now.
These loans have been around for decades, but most agents, lenders and buyers have completely forgotten they exist.
Thomson explains how buyers can take over a seller’s low-interest mortgage, potentially saving hundreds, or even thousands per month, and why this strategy is becoming more powerful in today’s higher-rate environment.
If you want to stand out, create real value and unlock deals most agents miss, this episode is a must-listen.
