The USDA Repair Escrow Loan can Help You Close

Many home buyers find their dream home, but then hit a brick wall in the loan approval process: the appraiser says it does not meet USDA loan guidelines. The home of their dreams requires minor repairs to be completed or they will not be able to close. The seller won’t budge – they have a loan that requires all repairs to be completed before closing, but that’s impossible since the process can’t move forward without those repairs. It seems like a frustrating, impossible situation, but it can be rectified with a Delaware USDA Repair Escrow Loan.  The John Thomas Team can help you navigate the specifics of the Delaware USDA Repair Escrow  – give us a call today at 302.703.0727 or APPLY ONLINE.
