Sammamish Mortgage is always searching for new ways to better serve our clients. To do this, we know that we have to be innovative, and be willing to try new approaches and think “outside the box” from time to time. Recently, in our drive to better assist our customers, we upgraded our online application system. Our new system is capable of being used on both mobile and non-mobile platforms, and it offers a highly efficient, intuitive application process. Now, we are equally proud to announce that we’ve just developed a new search feature that will allow potential home buyers to browse homes, select homes and then immediately apply for a loan using our own online application system. Our new search feature will allow users to browse and select homes in all states in which we currently do business – WA, OR, ID, and CO.
In this post, we will go over the various aspects of this new search feature in detail. We will explain each function and highlight the benefits of this exciting new program. Hopefully, this new feature provides our customers with an even better overall customer experience.
Search Function Permits Nuanced Searches
As mentioned, our new search feature allows users to search for homes in all the states we currently operate in. This means WA, OR, ID, and CO. The new search feature allows you to browse for homes based on a number of criteria. Firstly, the search function allows users to browse by location – for instance, Bellevue, Seattle, or any other specific city. Next, the function allows users to search according to a certain price range (i.e. minimum and maximum), and also according to property type (i.e. condo, townhouse, multi-family home, etc.), and by a number of bedrooms and bathrooms. After inputting these search criteria, users can then filter the results in a number of different ways, and then also view the results in either list or map form.
Learn Everything About Homes You Select
After you identify and select a specific home you’re interested in, you can click on that home to bring up a new page that focuses solely on your selected home. A certain amount of general information is provided on the browsing page described above. But users need more information in order to make a proper decision. On this new page which is dedicated to your selected home, you’ll find virtually all the information about that selected home you could possibly be interested in. For instance, you’ll find a general description of the property, square footage, listing details such as information on utilities, interior, and exterior features, and so forth. You’ll also find a small mortgage calculator which can give you a rough estimate of what sort of monthly payment you’ll be looking at. This mortgage calculator allows users to input their down payment, interest rate, and amortization timeline in order to produce a rough projection.
In addition to property details and a mortgage calculator, this page will also provide additional links if users want to move forward. There will be a link to click which allows users to schedule a visit for an in-person tour. There’s also a link to click which allows users to jump to the online application system. At that point, users can begin the application process for that specific home!
Apply for a Selected Home Immediately
After clicking on the link to jump to the automated online application system, users will then need to provide certain information to complete the loan application process. Users will need to provide specific personal information, as well as information about their selected home. For instance, users will need to provide contact information, information about their present financial condition, employment situation, demographic information, and so forth. Users will also need to provide specific information about their selected home, such as the price, location, and so forth. The whole application process is straightforward and simple. You’ll be able to complete and submit your application using our online application system in double-quick time!
Use NestReady to Connect with an Agent
Another benefit of the new search function is NestFinder, which allows potential buyers to connect directly with real estate agents. Whenever a potential buyer visits the main search page, or any individual page, you will find the NestFinder icon which will give you the opportunity to connect with an agent. The benefits of hiring a real estate agent to work with you through the home buying process can be very substantial. Agents typically have a detailed understanding of the market and of the home buying process in general. They can help you navigate through the process, negotiate prices, explain key concepts, and more. The new NestFinder feature puts you in touch with agents with no hassle at all.
Take Advantage of the New Cashback Feature
Yet another benefit of the new search function by Sammamish Mortgage is the “cashback” feature which allows buyers to receive 0.50% in cash on the transaction price of a given property. The cashback feature is only available when buyers use the agent supplied by NestFinder, and so this provides another incentive to use the NestFinder function. The cashback feature is referenced on the main search page; it is found on top of every listed home, so buyers can see what they may receive in cash if they utilize this feature. This feature is also reiterated on every individual home page. Let’s look at a quick example: if a buyer uses an agent through NestFinder, and the total transaction price turns out to be $2 million, our hypothetical buyer would receive $10,000 cashback!
