We build bridges to home ownership for deserving buyers.
What does that mean?
We Help good people with good jobs who have had life events and are now locked out of home ownership.
What does that mean for you?
Well, we need all the houses we can buy and are trying to find them.
Check out the video below to learn more.
About Me
I’m Link Ervin, a fourth generation real estate investor located locally here in the Carolinas.
The video below features Chris Prefontaine, a long time broker owner and my senior associate located in Rhode Island.
In the video he talks specifically to agents.
With a significant portion of the population
locked out of the housing market
I have tenant buyers
for every house I can get my hands on.
unfortunately for my business model
most sellers prefer
to get their equity upfront and be done:
however,
we can be a great fit for certain situations.
What if there was an option for you to get paid on the following scenarios?
The seller who owes too much and can’t or won’t pay closing costs and commissions
The seller who has living space that isn’t typical (think basement, loft, enclosed porch or bonus room.)
The seller who simply doesn’t want to pay a commission.
The seller who thinks their house is worth top value even though it still lives in the 60’s, 70’s, or 80’s.
The seller who thought it would never matter that they saved a few hundred dollars on the septic permit.
For a closer look at how I approach sellers you can check out:
What’s in it for you???All buyers pay 10% DownYou get at least 20% of the down
Previous
Next
If you also have the buyer I add 5% making a total of 25%
Most buyers don’t have the full 10% up front
but
you are paid on it as earned and our contract specifies that.
An example:
We buy for $300,000
We sell for $339,000
down payment $33,900
and
Your 20% = $6780
Awesome
Bonus
Let’s say the first buyer pays $10,000 then a life event happens (they do) somewhere along the way before they get a mortgage.
You keep the earned
Portion
When I replace the buyer
You Get 20%
Of total down again!
Just to get your juices flowing;
what sellers would you work
and
how would you do it?

Free & Clears
FSBO/Expired Leads you’re working
A great reason for a follow up call-
“Hi again John, this is Linda. We spoke last week about the house you have for sale. I’d sure love to list it… No? Well, another reason for my call was to tell you about a (friend, investor, associate) who buys houses and generally pays too much. If you’d like their information I’d be happy to give it to you.”
Listings you may lose
“Hi John, I understand how you feel about (insert the challenges you had with the seller and or the property here.) I have another idea I wanted to toss out to you. I have a (friend, associate, investor) who’s looking to buy property in the area and I know they often pay too much, yes really. If you’d like their website I’d be happy to give it to you.”
Landlords wanting out
Know any accidental landlords? Or professional landlords who want out of properties? I don’t care what the house is as long as it’s mostly move in ready.
Free & Clears
We pay OVER MARKET value for free and clear properties and do this with either interest only payments or principal only payments at higher prices: We generally let the seller decide.
What do you have to do?
Depending on your relationship simply refer the seller to us with as much or as little information as you’d like to give them.
That conversation could be this simple:
“I had an idea. I have a (friend/associate/investor) I know who is looking to buy a property in the area and they generally pay too much.
It might be a great fit for you. Would you like their information?”
What else could you POSSIBLY have to do?
I MAY ask you to put one of our handwritten signs in the yard.
I MAY ask you to show the house once or twice.
I MAY want the name of a local attorney you are familiar with.
Anything I asked you to do would be simple and straight forward and easily worth the $7000 average you would receive (based on our average down payments.)
