How the Fairway Cash Guarantee Works
There are just three important steps to taking advantage of Fairway’s Cash Guarantee program. Here’s how it works.
1.
Get the Fairway Advantage Mortgage Pre-Approval
First, Fairway works with you to complete the Fairway Advantage Pre-Approval process. Our mortgage underwriters conditionally approve you for your mortgage before you make an offer, giving you (and the seller) confidence to close. Once your offer is submitted and accepted, we help you make sure all borrower conditions are cleared ahead of close.
2.
Provide Seller with the Fairway Cash Guarantee
Once you’re pre-approved, Fairway is so confident the loan will close on time that we guarantee it to your seller. To seal the deal, Fairway promises to buy the home from the seller (in cash) if your home doesn’t close for finance reasons by the contracted date.
3. Fairway Sweetens the Deal with $10,000
If the guarantee is triggered but the seller chooses not to move forward with the sale to Fairway, we’ll provide $10,000 for their trouble. The contract will be terminated, and the seller can walk away with the $10,000.
It’s truly a win-win for everyone.
