Secure Financing Up Front: The HomeSURE℠ approval goes beyond pre-approval, offering a fully underwritten loan commitment. This means buyers are ready to purchase with minimal last-minute surprises.
Underwritten Loan Commitment: Having an underwriter's commitment gives buyers a competitive edge in the market, akin to being a cash buyer.
Ready to Buy TODAY: With the HomeSURE program, buyers can move forward with confidence, knowing their financing is secure.
Expedited Loan Closings: HomeSURE clients can expect faster processing and closing times, reducing stress and uncertainty.
$30,000 On-Time Closing Guarantee:
Seller Closing Guarantee: If the loan does not close as scheduled, Edina Realty Mortgage will pay the seller $15,000.
Real Estate Brokerage Closing Guarantee: Similarly, if the loan does not close on time, the real estate brokerage will also receive $15,000, ensuring all parties have peace of mind.

Stay tuned for our next blog post, where we will dive deeper into the On-Time Closing Guarantee and how it specifically benefits home buyers, sellers, and real estate agents.
1. HomeSURE Advantage is not a final loan approval or a guarantee to lend. A Commitment Letter is based on verified information and documentation provided by the borrower and a review of the borrower's credit report. The interest rate and type of mortgage used to approve borrower for a specified loan amount is subject to change, which may also change the terms of approval. If the interest rate used for credit approval has changed, borrower may need to re-qualify. Information provided by borrower is subject to review and all other loan conditions must be met. After a borrower has chosen a home and the purchase offer has been accepted, final loan approval will be contingent upon obtaining an acceptable appraisal and title commitment. Additional documentation and loan qualifications may be required. Not all borrowers will qualify. May not be available in all areas.
