— Lending Solution Empowers Homeowners to Tap Their Home Equity to Purchase Their Next Residence Without Selling Their First—

Platte River Mortgage & Investments, Inc., a Colorado-based mortgage and investment firm, has partnered with Calque, to expand The Trade-In Mortgage™ in Colorado. The Trade-In Mortgage is an innovative loan option that gives borrowers the ability to use their home equity for purchasing another property prior to selling their present one.

The Trade-In Mortgage is another way that Platte River Mortgage delivers custom-tailored mortgage solutions. Calque provides a guaranteed backup offer; with this in hand, Platte River Mortgage loan officers can write non-contingent financing on the new home and empower their borrowers to make a more significant down payment with a HELOC that does not count towards their debt-to-income ratio. By tapping the equity in their homes before they sell, borrowers working with Platte River Mortgage can make non-contingent bids as good as cash offers that are more likely to secure their dream home.

The Colorado market is defined by high interest rates and rising home prices. Many home shoppers who already own a home and are looking for a new property must make contingent offers on the property they want. Homebuyers that present an offer with contingencies find themselves at a disadvantage compared to investors and larger entities who can make all-cash bids. With Calque, Platte River Mortgage can bring hard-working consumers back into the market when they use their equity to compete with all-cash offers without taking on the risk of a traditional bridge or moving out before they sell. Platte River Mortgage and Calque solve the problems with contingent bids by changing the lending process.

“Platte River Mortgage is committed to providing a full array of real estate and financial services, like The Trade-In Mortgage,” said Sean Sedita, partner and co-founder of Platte River Mortgage. “Working with Calque empowers us to provide buyers with confidence during home purchase negotiations. With The Trade-In Mortgage, buyers can use their accrued equity to purchase their next home, our borrowers appreciate the ingenuity we have provided with this product.”

“Platte River Mortgage has been providing superior investment and lending for more than 20 years. Their outstanding reputation and dedication to ensuring customer satisfaction make them the perfect partner for Calque,” said Michael Bremer, CEO of Calque. “With the Trade-In Mortgage, homebuyers can not only simplify their buying process but also gain an edge in securing their desired property in a competitive housing market like Colorado.”
