How Seller Carry Financing Saved The Day

The Loving Story of a Unique Luxury Penthouse Sale

Fred and John needed to sell their luxury condominium penthouse with 25″ high ceilings that the caring couple shares with Fred’s elderly mother Sally, who could no longer safely make the lofty climb to her upstairs bedroom.

A successful, efficient home sale became an absolute must.  The average recent home sale in the building took 76 days. To sell their home 38 days faster, the LA Loft Blog team was called in with its thousands of readers and home buyers. Corey Chambers personally contacted the most recent 20 real estate professionals who successfully completed transactions in the unique building and nearby condos to offer them a chance to bring their clients in first to see the property for sale.  Additionally, a storm was literally on the horizon, so a cloud needed to be scoured to find a silver lining. A rained-out open house was broadcast live on Periscope and Facebook LIVE video to hundreds of homebuyers and viewers. It all worked.  #sellercarry #seller #financing

A great buyer was found within just a few days. That buyer wanted to negotiate  seller carry back financing so that he could make a cash purchase of the property with about 80% down payment. The LA Loft Blog team was able to help with the seller carryback negotiation that also worked for the seller. The buyer and seller both had super experienced Broker Associates to make an extraordinary transaction come together.  As the authority on luxury condominiums, the Corey Chambers Team team had connections to seller financing experts, including real estate brokers, consultants, loft lenders, attorneys. The buyer’s broker chose their seller-carry-experienced escrow to draft the seller carry note. The sale closed successfully with a short 21-day escrow.

Fred, John and Sally achieved their financial goals with the quick condo sale $150,000 above the most comparable neighboring unit sold. So now, they can close escrow next week on a single-story house with beautiful views, and an easier life.

No more struggling up the stairs day and night. With an easy stroll all around their new home, mother Sally is delighted with the change, and is looking forward to moving real soon!

Downtown Los Angeles Lofts For Sale with Low Down Payment and Seller Carry Financing

Seller Financing

Seller Carry Back Financing
Seller Carry Back Financing

Banks and mortgage lenders provide financing for the majority of Downtown L.A. loft sales, but they are not always the right source of purchase funds. About 20% of Downtown Los Angeles loft sales are paid for in all cash from the buyer.  Some are unaware that the seller can sometimes help with financing as well.  This is called a Seller Carry because the seller carries all or some of the financing. The seller acts as the lender.

Seller carry backs are most appropriate when the seller does not immediately need all of the cash from the sale, and the seller can let the buyer make use of the funds. The seller might want a quick transaction, and the best prospective buyer cannot use or does not want to use a traditional bank or mortgage lender financing because the buyer does not have a regular job, but has plenty of assets or miscellaneous income. #sellercarry #loft #financing

Owner-provided financing is sometimes advertised in property listings or advertisements as seller financing or owner will carry (OWC). Once very popular around 1980 when interest rates were 20%, seller carry backs are again growing in popularity as getting traditional home loans from banks becomes more challenging due to recent regulation and restrictions. Challenging loft buildings such as SB Grand also represent a good example of where seller financing may save the transaction when loft lenders fail.

Seller Carry Financing Sales the Day
Seller carry financing helped sell a luxury condo for $150,000 more, 38 days faster.

When a homeowner wants to sell a home but has trouble getting enough qualified buyers due to tight lending practices, the seller can “carry back” the note on his own home sale. The buyer and the seller sign a promissory note in which the buyer promises to pay a specific amount of money, with a specific interest rate, at a specific time. The seller moves out, the title transfers, and the seller collects monthly payments from the buyer.  Escrow can help by generating some of the required paperwork.
