For Realtors

American Home Funding works hard to earn referrals from realtors throughout our market area. In addition to striving to offer excellent service and the loan programs your buyers need, we look for ways to help make you, the realtor, more successful. To do so, we develop innovative programs that help you sell your listings and attract new buyers and sellers. These programs are structured to avoid running afoul of the Real Estate Settlement and Procedures Act (“RESPA”).

Sweat_EquitySweat Equity – Enhancing your Listings
It’s never been more difficult to sell a home that’s not in good condition. You are up against the largest inventory of homes on the market that our area has ever seen. Your buyers need to get as much as they can from the sale. But they may not have the resources or ability to improve the impact their property has on potential buyers. Do you keep dropping the price or is there another way?

Sweat Equity is the other way. A way to improve sales appeal, enhance property values and shorten time on the market. With Sweat Equity, homes sell faster, bringing your commissions sooner and making sellers and buyers happy.

Sweat Equity is an innovative home improvement company that works with sellers of outdated and poorly maintained properties to improve their home’s appeal, helping it show competitively with other properties for sale in the neighborhood and attracting buyers.

Sweat Equity professionals know what buyers are looking for, how to make a home stand out, and how to enhance sales value. Sweat Equity professionals excel at fast turnaround and quality that sells. Work is “above builder grade.” Contractors are bonded, licensed and meet all regulatory construction standards.

Have a buyer interested in a listing but overwhelmed by what is needed to update the home? Sweat Equity works with buyers as well as sellers, allowing improvements to become part of the home’s sales price, financed at today’s low mortgage rates.

All costs are covered up front by Sweat Equity. The company recovers those costs through a non-interest bearing promissory note and lien placed on the property that is paid at the closing table. There’s no money up front, no prepayment penalty.

The goal of every Sweat Equity project is to increase the selling price of the home sufficiently to recoup our costs and leave the seller ahead.
