How do I explain it to my clients?
Ribbon offers a solution to multiple-offer situations through 2 programs.
The Offer Upgrade costs the client 1% of the purchase price of the property and allows them to upgrade to a cash offer with Ribbon, strengthening their chance of winning the offer on their dream home. This program works for clients who can secure their own financing on or before closing.
The Flexible Move In costs 3% of the purchasing price as Ribbon will purchase on behalf of the buyer. This allows the client to find and move into a home they love as soon as they're ready, and then simply repurchase directly from Ribbon once they secure financing, within 6 months. This makes the transition between homes seamless. Plus, all fees aren't collected until closing.
You also get many guarantees with Ribbon:
- Guaranteed closing, in as few as 14 business days
- Removal of home sale contingencies
- Move-in as soon as you want + 180 days to finance
- Free valuations
- Use with any home (in available locations)
