We explore lender credits, seller concessions, and eligible down payment assistance. Side-by-side estimates show how credits offset costs, how MI differs across loan types, and whether a small rate buydown improves affordability. Our focus is crafting an offer strategy that strengthens negotiation while protecting your cash position post-closing.

1. First-time buyers often qualify for reduced MI and improved pricing on certain conventional programs. We explain eligibility, income caps when applicable, and how credit scores influence costs so Granite Bay clients can decide whether conventional or FHA better fits their profile and the property they’re targeting.
2. If gift funds are part of your strategy, we provide the exact documentation your lender will require—gift letters, proof of transfer, and account verifications—to keep underwriting smooth. We also coordinate with escrow to apply seller credits correctly toward allowable fees and prepaid items to minimize cash to close.
3. To keep offers competitive, we help you present a strong pre-approval package and, when appropriate, explore options like appraisal waivers or shortened loan contingencies. Our aim is to reduce friction for the seller while safeguarding your budget and ensuring you’re comfortable with every term before you sign.
