The House the Bank Said Couldn't Be Financed

What happens when an appraiser declares a home non-financeable, even for a standard conventional loan? In this video, we break down a real deal where we represented the seller of an 1886 farmhouse that was rated in condition too poor to finance, and handed a long list of demanded repairs, including a request to add an entire second bathroom. You'll see how we got a detached garage removed from the requirements, proved a basement moisture issue was harmless, shared repairs with the buyer, and found the comps ourselves to eliminate that bathroom demand. It's a real look at why a homeowner selling on their own can end up buried, and how the right team gets a tricky sale to the closing table.
