Cash2Keys: The Market Solution

The demand for homes is high. With fewer homes available compared to the number of buyers in the market, a competition between buyers is created. Most houses today are tough to hold onto and even tougher to afford if you play the bidding game. You deserve better. We can provide a solution.

Since our start, AnnieMac's mission has always been to provide our clients with more, and we are not stopping just because of the shifting markets. Instead, we offer two programs that not only empower you to beat the competition for the houses you want, but eliminate the stress and frustration that accompanies the typical home hunt.

The Solution For Borrowers & Realtors

At AnnieMac Home Mortgage, we want you to have a fair shot at owning a house your family will love. Shopping for the home of your dreams isn't easy. Competition is fierce in today's market, and chances are that your offer is being pitted against a dozen other buyers bidding way above market value. That's why we have created two innovative programs, designed to help both new home buyers and existing homeowners buy the homes of their dreams.

Cash Offer

Cash2Keys: The Cash Offer

A powerful new way to pursue your ideal home. Nothing generates interest or conveys financial confidence to sellers or their agents like a strong cash bid, and AnnieMac Private Equity will help you make an offer that they simply can’t refuse.

By offering a seller cash up front, our Cash Offer solution is the perfect way to send that offer to the top of any seller's list. This program will help even the odds for first time home buyers and those who are buying without a need to sell a home first!

Buy Now Sell Later

Cash2Keys: Buy Now, Sell Later

If you are a current homeowner looking to move or upgrade, you know that it’s tougher than ever to juggle the challenges of finding a new home while selling your existing one without running into contingency snafus or timing issues that could leave your family with nowhere to live for days, weeks, or even longer.

Buy Now, Sell Later eliminates the need for current homeowners to sell before buying their new dream home. How? AnnieMac Private Equity buys the home so you can move right in while taking the time to comfortably sell your old one. Then, AnnieMac Private Equity sells that new home directly to you as soon as you are ready.

*Buy Now, Sell Later is the same as a Cash Offer. The only difference is the selling of your home in addition.

Cash2Keys Is Changing Lives

Since introducing Cash2Keys, we've helped many customers secure their dream homes. Here's what people who have experienced our program have to say:

Realtor

As always the team came through to win another deal. Can’t go wrong with C2Ks! The team is available whenever I need them to answer questions that, BUT also to answer questions the sellers and listing agents have. In minutes a conference call set up to educate everyone involved why this is the best deal for the sellers to accept.

Loan Officer

Got my first Cash2Keys offer accepted today! It was the deciding factor between a yes and a no! Can't believe it and so happy for my clients! Offer was submitted at 4:48, and accepted at 5:11!

Customer

The cash 2 keys program was likely what set our offer apart and ultimately won us the house. Andy's team was very helpful in answering any questions I had and made the process much simpler than I feel like it could've been.

Realtor

Andy was not only a pleasure to work with but very knowledgeable and very responsive. He worked with us every step of the way and was able to get our clients to the closing table in 13 days! Thank you so much to Andy and his team!

Loan Officer

BUY NOW SELL LATER DOES IT AGAIN!! There isn't anything better than this. These buyers would have never gotten this house with having to sell their current house too. GRATEFUL IS AN UNDERSTATEMENT! Seemless as always! The support we have behind the scenes for these programs is unmatched!

Customer

Andy & Bryan were great guys to work with. They made the entire process very easy and help us get the house that we wanted under the asking prices in a crazy market! AnnieMac’s Cash2Keys Cash Buyer option helped us win the home! Thank you!

Loan Officer

My borrowers were able to purchase their dream home In Pennsylvania on September 12th using Annie Mac Private Equity Cash!! They sold their house on September 19th and got the mortgage through us then. This program allowed them to remove all mortgage and home sale contingencies! Without this program these buyers don't get their dream house because they had to sell their house before they could buy.

Loan Officer

I don't really know where to start but when we beat out over 15 offers and win because of our Cash Offer Program I know we have something special! We got this closed from Start to finish in 13 business days!

Realtor

Michael Hummel and his team at Crown Mortgage Group/Annie Mac Home Mortgage was such a pleasure to deal with and extremely efficient and on top of the mortgage file. The mortgage process was smooth and timely. I have handled multiple files and worked with and represented a few clients that had the pleasure of working with Crown Mortgage Group and utilized the Cash2Keys program and it really helped my clients in acquiring properties and provided them with a competitive edge when presenting their offers.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is an AnnieMac Cash2Keys Cash Offer?

A Cash2Keys offer is a purchase contract backed by a cash offer. After a short due diligence period where you can have a home inspection and appraisal, the cash offer becomes non-refundable, and the seller knows that it will close. Once your offer is accepted, you can finance your mortgage through AnnieMac Home Mortgage, or your preferred lender to purchase the home.

Why are Cash Offers better than an offer with mortgage financing?

Sellers love cash offers and prefer them to financed offers. With an AnnieMac Cash2Keys Cash Offer, the seller knows that after the due diligence period the transaction is sure to close based on the terms of the offer and the backing of AnnieMac Private Equity Cash2Key.

How do I get started on an AnnieMac Cash Offer?

Apply Here After you complete your application, AnnieMac will be in touch to guide you towards your pre-approval.

What’s the catch? What do I have to pay for the Cash Offer service?

While there is a small fee associated with the cash offer program, it is dependent on the fees associated with real estate transactions in your state. Please contact your AnnieMac Mortgage Loan Originator today to get details about your particular area.

Where do you get the cash to purchase the home for me?

We fund off our operating account and warehouse lines established with partners.

Can I use my own agent?

Who controls the negotiations?

Just like a typical purchase, you and your agent have control over the negotiations and your due diligence (including inspection).

AnnieMac Home Mortgage requires an appraisal in many transactions. If you choose another lender, they will likely require an appraisal in most transactions.

As with most home purchases, the buyer will pay for the home inspection and appraisal.

What does the Cash Offer process look like?

These are the main steps in a Cash Offer transaction:

  • Get pre-approved. Work with AnnieMac Home Mortgage to submit your income and asset documentation for a full review. If you are pre-approved, you are assigned a Home Purchase Coordinator that will work with you and your agent.
  • Cash Offer Agreement. Your Home Purchase Coordinator will discuss the steps and what is required of you upfront. They will give you this information in writing, and there will be an agreement with AnnieMac Cash2Keys to submit a cash offer on your behalf.
  • Make a cash offer. Find the home you’ll love. Your real estate agent and your Cash2Keys Home Purchase Coordinator will spring into action to draft and submit the cash offer.
  • Secure your home. When seller accepts your offer, your agent can arrange for the home to be inspected and the property appraised. You will review your disclosure documents, submit your earnest money deposit (3% of the purchase price on a primary residence), and review your home inspection.
  • Close on your new home. Your mortgage will be processed and you will close on your new home, backed by an AnnieMac Cash Offer.
Who is the Home Purchase Coordinator and what do they do?

The Home Purchase Coordinator works for AnnieMac Cash2Keys and is a specialist in Cash Offer and Buy Now, Sell Later. You are assigned a dedicated Home Purchase Coordinator and may speak with a different Home Purchase Coordinator if your dedicated HPC is unavailable.

The HPC is there to educate you on Cash Offer or Buy Now, Sell Later. They will walk you through the steps of the transaction beforehand so you know what happens at every step of the transaction and what will be required of you. The HPC will also communicate with your agent.

The HPC does not work with you on your mortgage. You will work with your Loan Officer and Processor for all your mortgage needs.

Can I get an inspection? What happens if the inspection comes back with issues?

Yes, the cash purchase contract executed between AnnieMac Cash2Keys and the seller allows for an inspection. You and your agent have complete control over negotiating any issues uncovered in the inspection that you choose to address with the seller. We will not purchase a home unless you and your agent are satisfied with its condition.

With a full submission of application and credit with income, employment, and asset documentation, underwriting pre-approval times are currently 48-72 hours.

What happens after I am pre-approved with AnnieMac Cash2Key?

You will be assigned a Home Purchase Coordinator. The Home Purchase Coordinator will discuss the process with you and provide you with a written Cash Offer agreement that lays out the steps and specific requirements. You will then shop for your new home with your real estate agent.

What if I need to sell my home to buy another?

Buy Now, Sell Later, as the name states, allows you to turn this traditional requirement on its head and buy before you sell. AnnieMac Cash2Keys will make a cash offer on your behalf and allow you to move in and rent immediately upon closing. The rent is accrued but not immediately paid, so you will never have two housing payments. After you have sold your old home, you will buy your new home back from Cash2Keys.

What is the AnnieMac Buy Now, Sell Later program?

Buy Now, Sell Later eliminates the need to sell your home before you buy. Instead of listing your home with nowhere to move, AnnieMac Cash2Keys will make a cash offer on your behalf before you sell. When the offer is accepted and Cash2Keys closes, you move into the property and accrue rent that you pay later, after you have sold your home. Buy and move first, then prep and stage your home to maximize your sale price.

Does AnnieMac Buy Now, Sell Later purchase your current home?

AnnieMac wants you and your agent to sell your property to the highest offer. For this reason, we allow you to move into your new home and have two weeks of preparation to make it shine for potential borrowers. We only purchase your old home as a last resort. If your home has not sold in 180 days, AnnieMac purchases your home for the established conditional purchase price so you can take title to your new home.

How much will the rent be on my home until I complete the purchase?

The rent will be approximately what mortgage, tax, and insurance payments will be on the property. You will accrue rent from the day that AnnieMac Cash2Keys purchases your property but will not pay the rent until you sell your home. The rent will be pro-rated on a daily basis, so you won’t pay a full month’s rent if you rent for less than the full month. The Buy Now, Sell Later agreement that you sign after pre-approval specifies your rental payment.

How do you determine how much equity I have in my home?

Typically, an interior BPO (broker price opinion) must be conducted on your current home.

Do I need renter’s insurance while I rent and before I buy?

You should strongly consider renter’s insurance. Our insurance does not cover your personal property.

Are pets allowed while you are renting?

Of course! All family members are welcome.

Does my agent still make money off the transaction?

Yes.

If my state charges a real estate transfer tax, how is this handled across the two transactions?

If you are participating in Buy Now, Sell Later or choose not to have the purchase contract assignable to you, there will be two transactions. AnnieMac Cash2Keys will pay any buyers share of transfer tax on the first transaction. On the second transaction, you will pay all transfer taxes associated with that transaction.

Is AnnieMac Private Equity Cash2Keys a mortgage lender?

No, AnnieMac Cash2Keys is not a financial institution. We are a business entity that purchases homes to secure them for you, our customers, who will eventually buy them back. Our affiliated company, AnnieMac Home Mortgage, is a mortgage lender.

Who makes the offer to the seller?

You’ll work with your agent to make, negotiate, and finalize the offer with the seller. Your dedicated Home Purchase Coordinator will assist and ensure the offer meets the terms of the approval.

Who orders the inspection?

This will be your home and you are responsible for ordering the inspection and reviewing the inspection results.

Why are there two contracts for Buy Now, Sell Later?

With Buy Now, Sell Later, there are two transactions. First, AnnieMac Cash2Keys purchases the home for you, and you take possession. After you sell your old home, you buy the home from Cash2Key. A purchase contract is required for each transaction.

What is the closing date of the contract between Cash2Keys and me?

The closing date is written as on or before 6 months from the current date. The closing date is often much quicker than 6 months, and AnnieMac will close sale with you as soon as you are ready.

Cash2Keys closed on my new home! Now what?

You’ll take possession as soon as we close on it and transfer the utilities into your name. Your agent will collect your new keys from the listing agent and give them to you.

What is a conditional purchase price?

When you choose to Buy Now, Sell Later, there will be a conditional purchase price. The purchase price is conditional because if you sell or get under contract for a higher price within 180 days, you are entitled to sell for the highest price and best terms offered to you. In the rare instance where you do not receive a higher offer, AnnieMac Cash2Keys will purchase your old home after 180 days to ensure you can purchase your new home.

How do you arrive at the conditional purchase price?

We typically have an interior broker price opinion completed and perform an analysis of home sales and listings in the market. The conditional purchase price is typically 91% - 95% of the home’s market value, minus a 6% real estate sales commission that will be paid when the home is resold.
