Tough Commercial Loans? Do real brokers still exist?
Real Examples of why you need a full service brokerage:
Borrower running out of time on purchase and sales agreement about to lose deposit. The brokerage provides a creative solution by calling the seller for an extension on the buyer behalf. Bank selling a property and didn’t disclose a sink hole. Brokerage coordinated with title and determined risk too big. Helped borrower find more suitable investment and closed new loan. Wind insurance after hurricane. Brokerage coordinated new policy options as first quotes made the loan nonviable to new debt service ratio. Law suit mid transaction. Brokerage coordinated every aspect from attorneys to buyer and seller, to realtor, to owning bank to a successful close. Existing lender can no longer do loan mid transaction through no fault of borrower. Buyer will lose deposit earnest money. Brokerage issues pre-approval same day with new lender allowing borrower to get an extension to close. Borrower starts construction prior owning property. Brokerage coordinates all documents and packages loan properly where it “makes sense” for the lender to close. Borrower takes out loans mid transaction lowering fico scores before new close. Brokerages issues new offer and still closes before deadline. IRS issue. Brokerage coordinates with the IRS agent to get the payoff request needed to close loan. The title company chosen by borrower won’t clear title. Brokerage brings in new title company to get clearances to close loan
