WHY Better Together?
-
Lenders and real estate agents often avoid working with non-married groups of 2-4 co-borrowers due to the complexity and risks involved in joint mortgages. In fact, potential co-owners end up renting for those same reasons. We guide the process to ensure buyers receive the respect they deserve and the clarity and security they need throughout the co-buying transaction and beyond.
-
We only work with non-married Co-owners. We use our expertise to kickstart your journey with an UP FRONT PLAN that will align your interests and guide you in the joint mortgage and through a successful home purchase.
-
Once you close on the home, we will structure a tailor-made CO-OWNER AGREEMENT specifically for non-married co-owners, ensuring unity, clarity, and security for the co-owners. No loose ends before, during, or after the joint mortgage is funded.
