Step 3: Connect With Your Roam Advisor
Have you found a couple of great choices or need advice? Schedule a call with your Roam Advisor! They will walk you through the assumption process and next steps, including signing our service agreement. Your Roam Advisor will also ensure that you meet the general eligibility criteria and that your agent has everything they need for an assumable loan offer.
Tip: Need an agent or lender for the pre-qualification? Not a problem! Roam can connect you with vetted agents and lenders who know the assumption process inside and out.
Step 4: Prepare an Offer
Now it's time for the fun part! You'll tour homes you're interested in, and when one is a good fit, Roam will help your agent prepare the offer. Once the offer is accepted and you go into contract, Roam begins facilitating the assumption process. All parties sign Roam's third-party authorization form, allowing us to manage the transaction seamlessly.
Tip: Roam can connect you with second mortgage providers based on your financial profile if you need a second mortgage to cover any down-payment gap.

Step 5: Close on Your New Home
Roam coordinates with all parties to ensure a smooth process and seamless transition to the closing phase. Roam oversees the final steps of your purchase, from ensuring all conditions are met to preparing for the closing day.Tip: Curious about the fees? Roam is paid 1% of the purchase price at closing by the buyer, which is less than typical closing costs for a new mortgage origination. Buyers also benefit from $500 savings, given that no appraisal is required with an assumable mortgage. You will also pay third-party closing costs.
