Scripts You Can Use With Your Buyers
“I do not have much money saved up.”
“Sometimes you can get into a home with very little to almost no money down. You should talk to my mortgage guru, Lori. She knows the down payment assistance programs available in Marion County — some may offer up to $100,000 in help when you qualify.” Point them to DPA, SHIP, and Hometown Heroes.
“I am worried I will not qualify.”
“You will not know if you do not try. Lori will help you come up with a great game plan if you are not quite ready yet. She is all about smart strategy — no pressure.”
“Interest rates are too high.”
“Rates are higher than a few years ago but have moved from recent peaks. Lori can still help you explore options or get positioned to buy or refinance when the time is right — no pressure.”
“I already have a bank I am working with.”
“That is great. It never hurts to get a second opinion, especially with someone like Lori who has access to a wide range of programs banks do not always offer — including down payment assistance you may not know about.”
What to Listen For
- Life changes (marriage, new baby) that trigger home buying
- Lease ending with low savings — DPA conversation
- Mortgage insurance or rate frustration — refinance / restructure
- Desire to consolidate bills or fund upgrades — renovation or cash-out discussion
- Thinking about building — construction loan conversation
- 62+ with home free and clear and retirement pressure — reverse mortgage exploration (educational only)
Overcoming Buyer Objections
“I don’t want credit pulled” / “I’m just looking.”
Lori can start with a simple conversation and go over questions without pressure — so buyers understand where they stand before they shop.
