For agents

Sell the loan that comes with the house.

When nobody can get a good rate, a listing that carries one stands out. RetroRate tells you which of your listings has an assumable loan, verifies its details so you can advertise the rate with confidence, and gives you the marketing to put that rate in front of buyers.

Live to over 180k agents; available nationwide to all brokerages.

Questions agents ask

How do I set expectations with a buyer and seller?

Four things to say up front:

  • Timeline. Thirty to forty-five days is common, and it varies by servicer.
  • The buyer still qualifies. Income, assets, employment, credit and debt-to-income, the same as any loan.
  • The seller comes off the loan when the release is issued. The servicer approves the buyer, then releases the seller. Expect it, but treat it as a step in the deal rather than a formality, and get the release in writing.
  • Mind the equity gap. Where the home is worth more than the loan balance, the buyer covers the difference in cash or with a second loan.
How do I confirm that my listing is assumable?

A pre-listing check checks assumability, rate, terms and loan type against our database of assumable listings nationwide.

To put the rate in your marketing, verify it: we cross-reference the seller’s mortgage statement against a variety of data sources to confirm accuracy, then issue a Verification of Loan (VOL) report. Start that from the pre-listing check or your listings dashboard.

Why should I offer mortgage assumption as an option when selling a home?

An assumable loan opens the listing to buyers who can’t reach the payment on a new loan. If you want a line of buyers down the block at your open house, promote the rate.

It also appeals to buyers staying conservative on monthly payment, who would rather not stretch past a target price.

Can I sell a home at a higher price if the mortgage is assumable?

You aren’t only selling the home, you’re selling the home with its mortgage. The right to convey the loan is written into the mortgage contract, and while rates are where they are, it’s a marketing point worth making.

It gives you leverage in negotiation and drives foot traffic, which is what creates demand.

What's needed from my seller?

One recent mortgage statement, as an image or PDF. You can upload it yourself, or send your seller a secure link to upload it.

How does RetroRate verify a loan?

We cross-reference the seller’s mortgage statement against a variety of data sources including public records and county recorder information to confirm accuracy, then issue a Verification of Loan (VOL) report.

Is this safe and secure?

Our system uses the statement for verification only. It’s deleted automatically as soon as verification is complete.
