Seller Financing & Real Estate Agents
Hey BP!
I have a two-part question.
Will (buyer or seller) real estate agents take seller finance offers to a seller? Or, are agents only working with, and for, buyers who are “pre-qualified” with traditional lending?
To piggy back on that, if agents won’t or don’t take the seller finance deal to the seller, what do you think about writing a letter to the seller and offering our deal privately (if we are not working with an agent).
In my real life example, I have purchased a few income and one primary residential property utilizing seller finance so I’m familiar and love it. A house that we want as primary just came back on market. I would like to see if I can put together a good seller finance deal and present it to the seller. I will go through the agent (buyer or seller) if they’ll actually present the offer (for one) and promote benefits of said offer but don’t want to get them involved if just a quick letter to the seller might get the deal done.
Or anything else you might recommend?
Thank you,
Jennifer
