BENEFITS THAT WORK FOR YOU

More clarity.

More confidence.
More value at closing.

Everything is designed around one question: what helps you make a better home-buying decision?

Complimentary Home Warranty

Eligible clients may receive a 12-month home warranty to help protect major systems and appliances after closing.

$500 Closing-Cost Credit

Qualified buyers may receive a $500 lender credit toward allowable closing costs through a participating lender.

Early-Access Home Search

Hear about coming-soon, off-market and agent-network opportunities when they are available.

Appraisal + Inspection Savings

Ask about available appraisal assistance, a $100 inspection credit and partner-provided termite inspection benefits.

Payment Strategy

Compare payments, cash to close, loan options, assistance programs and builder incentives side by side.

Offer + Negotiation Strategy

Lauren evaluates the property and offer terms while Ye models how credits and financing choices affect your costs.

Benefits vary by transaction and eligibility. We will explain what is available before you commit.

A SMARTER TEAM APPROACH

See the home and the financing as one decision.

Purchase price is only part of the picture. Credits, incentives, loan structure and repair terms can all change your cash to close and monthly payment.

MORTGAGE STRATEGY

Ye Gong

Ye compares payments, cash to close, loan choices, down-payment assistance and available incentives.

REAL ESTATE STRATEGY

Lauren Pierce

Lauren guides the home search, evaluates properties, structures offers and negotiates the real estate terms.

HAVE A HOME TO SELL?

Coordinate both moves and keep more cash available.

When your purchase depends on selling another home, timing, proceeds and financing all need to work together. Lauren and Ye can build one coordinated plan for both transactions.

  • Purchase and sale timing strategy
  • Estimated proceeds + cash-to-close review
  • Contingency and financing options

BUY + SELL ADVANTAGE

Up to

$2,000

in additional closing-cost assistance for qualifying buyers who also sell with Lauren.*

your next move.

Review homes, loan structures, incentives, credits and cash-to-close before making a decision.

MORE CONFIDENCE, LESS PRESSURE

Clear comparisons before you commit.

Second-Look Loan Review

Already preapproved? Ye can help you compare the numbers and ask better questions.

Rate + Credit Comparison

Compare eligible competing loan options, rates and lender credits—not just the headline rate.

Cancellation Protection

Ask about buyer-representation cancellation terms before signing so expectations are clear from day one.
