Homeowner guide to loan assumptions | Safe To Assume

Your low rate is worth money. Here is how to keep it, or buy one.

If you are selling, your 3% mortgage can go with the house and bring you a better buyer. If you are buying, you can take over someone else's low rate instead of paying 7%. This free guide shows you both.

Who this is for

If you are selling

  • Your home has been listed 60+ days and buyers keep walking away on financing
  • You have an FHA, VA, or USDA loan with a rate under 4.5%
  • You need your equity out to buy your next place
  • You are competing with new builds offering short-term rate buydowns

If you are buying

  • The payment does not work at today's rates on the homes you want
  • You can qualify for a mortgage but hate the rate
  • You plan to live in the home (required for FHA, VA, and USDA assumptions)
  • You have 5 to 10% to put down and want it to go further

What actually happens

We check your loan

Send us your loan type and approximate balance. We confirm whether it is assumable and what the rate is worth on the market.

We run the numbers

You get a plain-English breakdown: what a buyer would pay, what you would net, and how the gap gets funded. Same day.

We handle the servicer

Document package, submission, follow-up. You are released from the loan at closing and receive your equity.
