    Andy Hubbell

    AMEC Home Loans

    I have been in mortgage banking for over fifteen years, and have been witness to the unprecedented changes that have come to the industry over that time. More than ever in these changing times, my goal with each and every client is to ensure that they are educated in all of the various options available to them, and that they fully understand both the immediate and long term benefits and costs of every option, by doing a comprehensive costs analysis of their specific situation. An informed decision is the only decision worth making.

     

    Today I'm going to talk about the Seller Buy Down strategy, and how it can be a great "win-win" for both buyers AND sellers.
