In this episode of Not Just A Transaction, hosts Nick Prefontaine and Zachary Beach chat about the pitfalls that occur when working with lenders who are not familiar with the Pre Property Solutions rent-to-own program. They explain a current situation a buyer who chose their own lender is facing. Nick and Zach also share why they have spent time developing relationships with lenders.

• Lender – A bank, credit union, or other financial institution that provides mortgage loans to qualified buyers.

• What happens when a lender can’t close a deal when their underwriters have never seen this type of agreement
• How not working with the lenders that Pre Property Solutions has built a relationship with can cause home buyers unnecessary stress

Nick’s Bio:
In 2003, Nick Prefontaine was in a snowboarding accident that left him in a coma for over 3 weeks. The doctors told his parents that he probably wouldn’t walk, talk, or eat on his own again. Less than 3 months later, he was running out of Franciscan Children’s hospital. Now Nick speaks to groups that benefit from his message of overcoming adversity.

Nick grew up in the real estate industry and got started at an early age. Most notably, he was knocking on Pre-Foreclosure doors at 16, doing up to 50 doors a day. This experience helped shape Nick’s real estate career. When someone opens the door you better have something compelling to say.

Now, Nick specializes in working with lease purchase buyers to get them into a home and on the path to homeownership. That includes working with them throughout the entire deal which ends in them being able to get their own loan. Getting buyers to the finish line is something Nick and the entire Pre Property Solutions team take pride in. That is something that separates them from their competition. Regardless of a buyer’s credit situation, he looks at their complete financial picture and comes up with a plan to get them into a home.
