Sellers

Should you consider an offer from a VA Home Buyer?

Many sellers believe that all conventional lending is better than VA lending, but that’s not always true.  In fact, there are many benefits to working with a VA buyer.  We break down what you need to know on this page.  If you have questions about the process, please reach out to us.

We’re thankful for the service of our military service members and Veterans.

What are VA Loans?

VA home loans are mortgages where a portion of the balance is backed The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA). These mortgages help Veterans, service members, and eligible surviving spouses buy a home.  

Myth: All Conventional lending is better than VA Lending for sellers

Many sellers believe that conventional lending is always preferable to VA lending. However, this is a misconception. While VA loans do have certain safety requirements, many conventional loan products (such as those with 0%, 3%, or 5% down) have similar stipulations. In fact, VA lending can often be more streamlined than some conventional products.

Unique Benefits of VA Loans for Sellers

Working with a buyer who is bringing a VA loan offer to table offers unique benefits that you won’t find with a conventional offer.

    Tidewater Process:

    No PMI for Buyers:

    VA loans don’t require Private Mortgage Insurance, even with 100% financing. This can allow VA buyers to afford higher-priced homes, potentially expanding your buyer pool.

    Guaranteed Backing:

    VA loans are partially guaranteed by the government, which can provide additional security for the transaction.
