SUMMARY
What’s reasonable to expect in the coming weeks/months?
Please feel free to reach out with any questions. We have more detailed notes if anyone would like them. At Bison Ventures, we understand that the current market is challenging and there is uncertainty regarding interest rates. We know we have many clients in need of a new home, and we do not want today’s interest rates to be a barrier. We are currently offering the Bison Refinance Program – After six on-time payments of your new mortgage, you are eligible for a Special Refinance for a period of 3 years from your closing date. This entails NO lender or appraisal fees. Please let us know if any of your clients would be interested in discussing this further. It’s a perfect opportunity to buy now, and lower their payment later!
