How does a bridge loan help my client win an offer?

A bridge loan lets your client buy their next home before selling the one they own, so they can write a non-contingent, cash-equivalent offer and then list their old home empty and staged. We approve in under 24 hours and close in as few as 10 to 14 days, with no appraisal in most cases. We lend on the equity, not the income paperwork, which is why self-employed, retired and between-liquidity-event clients are a strong fit.

Approvals in under 24 hours · closings in as few as 10 to 14 days · no application fee

It is probably a fit if

Three things to have ready

The price rangeof the home they want
The valueof the home they own
The balanceof what they still owe

That is enough for a first answer. No application fee, and nothing is pulled to get it.

What they say

★★★★★

This team makes magic happen for buyers. As a Marin County Realtor, having the right lending partner is everything and Golden Gate Lending Group has completely changed the game for my clients. Their luxury bridge loan program allows homeowners to buy before they sell, which is a huge advantage in today's competitive California real estate market. Instead of writing offers contingent on the sale of a current home, my clients can make strong, non-contingent, cash-equivalent offers. It eliminates stress, removes timing pressure, and allows families to move once instead of twice.

My clients were in a tough spot. They wanted a home very badly but were up against all cash buyers. They already had an excellent fully underwritten loan in place with a big down payment. Nevertheless they still were not in a position to compete without assistance. When I asked multiple knowledgeable agents for advice regarding my client's situation, the first word out of their mouths was Sofia. Followed immediately by CALL HER. In around 48 hours, Sofia performed an absolute miracle. She turned our stress into great success. We won. My clients were able to purchase their dream home.

Sofia Nadjibi and her team are fabulous! My clients have had seamless transactions with Golden Gate Lending Group. They offer a great solution when you want to purchase before selling your home. This allows my clients to show their home in its best light and have a better opportunity to get top dollar. Highly recommend.

Questions we get on this

Does my client need an appraisal?

In most cases no. Our underwriter walks the property instead, which is a large part of why we can close in as few as 10 to 14 days.

Will you take over the rest of my client relationship?

No. We do the bridge loan and nothing else. The listing, the sale and the long-term financing stay where they are.

What if their income paperwork is the problem?

That is one of the most common reasons an agent calls us. We lend against the equity in the property, so self-employed, retired and between-liquidity-event clients who cannot clear conventional underwriting are often straightforward for us.

Is there a fee to find out?

No. There is no application fee to get an answer.
