A surety bond that replaces all or part of your cash deposit, so your money stays yours until closing.
Then it sits in trust until closing. That's money you could use for the down payment, closing costs and the move.
A deposit surety bond. It isn't insurance for the buyer.
Example: good credit, income and savings verified. 1% of a $10,000 surety ($100) plus a $150 policy fee.
About a minute. No name or credit check.
About 5 minutes. A soft credit check that doesn't affect your score.
Usually in 1 business day, good on any offer for 120 days.
The listing side accepts the bond online.
Then it's a single, one-time charge.
Use it on any offer while your approval is valid.
The builder, like any seller, decides whether to accept it.
Keep cash free during a long wait to closing.
From $10,000 to $250,000, up to 10% of the purchase price. For Canadian citizens and permanent residents, outside Quebec.
If the buyer doesn't close, the seller can claim on the bond after a claim review, up to the bond amount.
The buyer then repays SecureMyOffer as agreed.
