🏡👀 HOME BUYERS — KEEP AN EYE OUT FOR THIS BADGE! 👀🏡

💰 This little badge could mean BIG savings on your mortgage payments!

As you're scrolling through home listings, Realtor pages, or checking out homes for sale around Columbus and the surrounding areas, LOOK FOR THIS BADGE! 🔎

When you see it, that means the home is being advertised with a 2-1 Temporary Rate Buydown opportunity — a creative financing strategy that can save buyers THOUSANDS of dollars in mortgage payments during their first two years of homeownership! 💵

Here's the quick breakdown:

✅ Year 1: Payments calculated at a rate 2% below your fixed note rate.

✅ Year 2: Payments calculated at a rate 1% below your fixed note rate.

✅ Year 3+: Payments return to the original fixed note rate for the remainder of the loan.

🔒 YES, it's a FIXED-rate mortgage — NOT an adjustable-rate mortgage!

🤝 Local Realtors and sellers are getting creative to make their homes stand out, and buyers have an opportunity to benefit!

🔥 If a home with this badge is already on your list of homes to see, DON'T overlook the potential savings being offered!

📲 Not sure how it works? Give me a call! I'll gladly walk you through the numbers and show you what the savings could look like.

Remember the badge. Recognize the opportunity. Explore the savings! 🏡💚

🏡 Higher rates don’t always have to mean higher payments right away!
A temporary rate buydown can be a great way to ease into your mortgage payment while still having the security of a fixed-rate loan. 🔐

✅ Lower payments upfront
✅ Available on Conventional, FHA, VA & USDA
✅ Fixed-rate mortgage — not an ARM
✅ Refinance early? Remaining buydown funds aren’t simply lost!

It can also be a great negotiating tool for buyers AND sellers. 💰🏠

Truth #1- mortgage rates have increased aggressively recently
Truth #2- higher mortgage rates create a tougher market for buyers, sellers, lenders, Realtors, etc

Strategy, transparency, and nimbleness all become heightened focal points in tighter markets. Working with trusted advisors willing to tell you the truth to serve YOU become infinitely valuable.

🏡 Looking for the best mortgage loan officer in Columbus, Indiana?

Here is what clients have said about me and my team:

👥 Do past clients refer their friends and family to Jason?

Absolutely! Recently, a client called and said “We were referred by our friends and then a day later one of our other friends that just closed on their home with you told us to call you because you were the best!”

⚡ Can Jason and his team close a mortgage quickly?

One client found her dream home, had her offer accepted on a Friday and closed just 10 days later. She said “without your help and jumping on things so quickly, I couldn’t have pulled this off and gotten the keys when I did- you rock!”

📱 Is Jason available when I find a home and need to make an offer?

“Jason answered our phone calls at anytime.” When this buyer was making their first offer they wanted to make sure their initial offer was competitive, but also that the numbers were where they felt comfortable..

🔎 Will Jason help me understand where my loan stands throughout the process?

“We always knew where we stood in the process and if we ever had any questions, someone was always able to help us very quickly- thank you!”

🎯 Will Jason give me realistic expectations?

“Jason is very transparent & no BS. We had a few hurdles when doing our preapproval and knew it wasn’t going to be overly simple. Jason made a few suggestions to help with our credit scores and we were able to get a cheaper monthly payment AND less down payment because of his help."
