SHOULD YOU BUY BEFORE YOU SELL?
Today's market can be very competitive when it comes to purchasing a new home. How do you ease the challenging transition between your current home and your new dream home?
Our buy-before-you-sell bridge loan option is a type of short-term financing that helps bridge the gap between buying a new property and selling your existing property. It is a common solution for homeowners who want to avoid the stress and uncertainty of selling their home first, before buying a new one.
ADVANTAGES OF USING A BRIDGE LOAN:
1. Avoiding Contingencies - Bridge loans allow you to buy a new home without having to sell your existing property first. This means you can avoid the contingency clause that most buyers include in their purchase offer, which requires the sale of their current home before the purchase of a new one.
2. Access to Funds - Bridge loans provide you with immediate access to funds, which can be used to pay for the down payment and closing costs on your new home. This can be especially helpful if you don't have enough cash on hand to cover these expenses.
3. Flexibility - Bridge loans offer flexible repayment terms that can be customized to your specific needs. You can choose to make interest-only payments or make payments that include both principal and interest.
4. Faster Closing Time - Bridge loans can be processed quickly, allowing you to close on your new home faster than if you were waiting for the sale of your existing home to close.

- hillary LandKevin helped us find our first house and we could not have done it without him. Being first time home buyers, we had no idea where to start or what to look for in a home. With Kevin's guidance and expertise, we found our dream home.

- bellpeyton2This is my first time buying a house, Nina was very helpful and always responded very fast, I would highly recommend her to anyone who's looking to have an agent who is reachable at any time, and won't just push you to buy the first place you see, because she seems to truly care where you end up.

- Jay FuHiring Kevin was the best decision I ever made next to saying I do. Kevin gave us his honest home assessment, neccessary upgrades for sale, and did his best to meet our demands. Kevin was extremely professional, never pressured us into anything. Listened to our needs and controlled his end. We got way over expected offer. Highly recommend.
- Kevin JamesOver 18 months, he has helped everyone in my family find a home. My mom spent a year working with four different realtors who could not get a solid offer on her home. Kevin came in and listed her house on a Wednesday night. By Sunday, she had three full price offers WELL over the previous asking price. He sold her house and helped her find one that she loves. I knew who to call when I started looking. The pandemic made things tricky. But when I found the house that’s right for me, Kevin went above & beyond to make that happen for me. When anything came up, he was quick to respond and resolve everything. I closed on my house last week and I absolutely love it. Kevin’s currently working with my brother and his fiancée. He made sure that they came out on top of the pandemic bidding war that I faced, too. He’s a super nice guy. He’s honest & knows structural/cosmetic things that other realtors don’t think to look for. Once you’re in and need things done, he knows contractors, inspectors, and the like: I’m reading a text right now that he sent me about a flooring contractor. I could say that he’s our family realtor— but he’s become a family member who’s also a realtor... and possibly a magician haha I can’t recommend him enough.
- Wendy WallThis was our first time buying a house, which can be quite stressful and intimidating. However, Kevin made the process so much better and helped us find the perfect house. He truly went above and beyond!
- pointpark2012I work with Kevin in the past and I'm currently working with him now. He gas also working my parents four times in the last couple years. What I love about Kevin is his eye for detail he's able to find many issues that the average person would not be able to see. Anyone who can put up with me is a truly remarkable person!
- Crystal VelascoI had a great experience working with Jonathan to find our first home. After seeing multiple one that we liked but not loved, he recommended a property that would fit what we were looking for and we instantly fell in love! Great agent, great team! Definitely recommend!
- zuser20140824074119208Due to life changing events, I've had 4 real estate transactions in the last 2 1/2 years. All with Kevin and his staff. His knowledge of the market is second to none and he's always available for his customer's. The past two homes I've listed with Kevin sold in a combined 39 days. I hope I'm finished buying or selling real estate. But if not I will certainly be calling Kevin Shaner @ EXP realty.
- chrysa8813Kevin has been absolutely wonderful every step of the way of the home buying process. He is honest, personable, and informative. He looks out for his client's best interests and will go the extra mile for you. Throughout this process he has stayed in constant contact with me even at odd hours as I work the overnight shift. In addition he was more than accommodating and went out of his way for an appointment for testing at the house so that I wouldn't have to be there due to my schedule. I highly recommend Kevin for your home buying needs. He has made what can be a stressful experience pleasurable.
- starreyed257Kevin is on point with every thing! He keeps you informed the entire step of the way, & will answer any & all questions when you have one.

- pipelinespecialistsKevin works for you not his wallet. I purchased multiple homes through him and his team. He is very honest and is willing to go to the extremes to make the sale go through. Example I was working late and Kevin drove over an hour from his office to get my hand money check at 9pm. Kevin is also very knowledgable on the current market conditions and negotiating.

Antoinette & Greg Hopkins - marciat49Kevin was fantastic. When other realtors were not even showing houses, Kevin kept bringing lots of potential buyers to look at the house until we found the right match. People were amazed we were able to sell the house so quickly. We thank Kevin for that.
