ClickHome Offers SLAC and Stanford Staff Low-Cost Real
Estate and Mortgage Services
SLAC and Stanford staff can take advantage of
low-cost real estate and mortgage services from ClickHome, a Santa Clara
based company. Since last May, the University has partnered with
ClickHome in order to make home buying more affordable for employees and
their families. The company offers a significant
brokerage fee discount to buyers and sellers. Buyers using ClickHome to
represent them receive a rebate of typically 1.5 percent of the purchase
price of the property they buy. Sellers using the firm to sell their
home will save 1.5 to 2.5 percent, lowering their total brokerage fee to
3.5 to 4.5 percent! ClickHome is a full service real estate firm, with
you every step of the way when you are buying, and offering a complete
marketing plan when you sell. ClickHome Mortgage
offers loans from over 80 lenders, giving you tremendous market
selection on loans of every kind, including Interest only, Zero Down,
MCC and Neighborhood Advantage for first time buyers. Pre-approvals are
always complimentary to Stanford employees and their families. ClickHome
loan officers will analyze your situation and help you determine which
loan best fits your needs. Securing a loan through ClickHome can save
you anywhere from about 25 to 50 percent off the average loan points.
On a $500,000 purchase, your typical savings with ClickHome can exceed
$9,500 when you use a ClickHome realtor and loan officer.
ClickHome can offer these savings by enrolling larger employers and
Institutions in their unique program, avoiding the high cost of
conventional marketing. By providing their Realtors with buyers and
sellers from their corporate program, ClickHome reduces the transaction
costs and passes the savings on to Stanford employees and their
families. ClickHome realtors, who average more transactions than
commission only realtors, are salaried employees, not independent
contractors. ClickHome realtors also earn bonuses which are paid based
on the results of a Customer Satisfaction Survey that clients fill out
at the end of their transaction. Realtors must achieve a score of 90
percent or better to earn their bonus. Staff can
access services and information at
www.clickhome.us/stanford
(click on “Why ClickHome” and take the tour) or call (408) 615-1000 and
simply say they work for Stanford. ClickHome offers everything from an
online mortgage calculator and accurate MLS home searches for available
properties to refinancing and home-selling services.
