Project MY Home® is a Seller relocation program that is designed to massively lower the cost of your home sale.  Sellers get a large rebate (lender credit) when they sell their home and buy another(1).  The home is showcased on popular search sites as a specialty listing as well as a special financing credit offered to incoming Buyers. This helps buyers with closing costs and have found this to diminish the need for seller paid closing costs.

(1) The seller must finance with Rick Elmendorf, NMLS ID#485091.

Sellers get up to 1% of the Sales Price back when they sell their home and buy another(1). Sellers can also save (up to 2%) by not having to contribute towards buyer closing costs(2).

(1) Lender Credit to the Seller on the next purchase is the lesser of $7500, 1% of the Sales Price of the home they are selling or 1% of the amount financed on the new home. Sellers must finance their next home with Rick Elmendorf NMLS ID#485091 to receive the lender credit. 

(2) The Project My Home Buyer Credit is a credit to the Buyer on a Project My Home listing. The grant is capped at $10,000. Credits to Buyers are a percentage of the amount financed and are only available on registered Project My Home listings. The buyer must finance with Rick Elmendorf NMLS ID#485091 to receive the credit.  Credit to Buyer is up to 2% x loan amount. 

Because Project My Home is a Seller Relocation Program, it is restricted to Primary Residences.  Additionally, Project My Home is only offered to Sellers that are either existing clients of The Elmendorf Team, existing clients of Movement Mortgage, or clients who have pre-approved with Rick Elmendorf to purchase their next home.  (Exceptions for Military Home Sellers)

To get your home on the list: 

1. Seller’s information would be entered on www.projectmyhome.com
2. Property is created in our listing portfolio.  The property is associated with the seller and listing agent as primary contacts.
3. The property address will be verified to ensure we can support the program in your area.
4. ETEAM will connect with the seller and agent to explain the program details and confirm acceptance.
5. It is highly recommended for Sellers to work with one of our Certified Project My Home listing agents to get the full benefit from the program.

The credit offered to the Buyer is as high as 2% of the Sales Price.

Project My Home Credit addendum to the contract

If you obtain Your mortgage loan through Rick Elmendorf at Movement Mortgage, You will be entitled to a credit of $_________ from the lender at Settlement.  The credit may only be used towards buyer settlement costs and is subject to reduction based upon Your selected loan amount and loan program requirements.  Call 571-249-5363 for information.

No.  The credit is optional and the buyer is always allowed their choice of lenders.

One dynamic use of the Project My Home Credit is to use it to increase the seller net and at the same time lower the cost of the home to the buyer. 

If the buyer finds themselves in a competitive offer situation, they can choose to use the credit to offset an escalation of the sales price.  Price escalations increase the net to the seller and will offer a better chance to win the home.  Offering more for the home doesn't mean paying more.  As an example, a buyer was able to increase the price offered to the seller by $4,000 thereby beating out other offers.  The credit to the buyer more than offset the escalated price of the house. In the end, the seller got $4,000 more and the buyer got the home for less. 

For each Project My Home listing, we will execute our FREE listing awareness campaign. 

• Automatically generated marketing including:
  • Unique Neighborhood Infographics
  • Property Website
  • Listing Flyers
  • Open House Sign-in Sheets
• Lead Generation & Capture via our proprietary technology and marketing. 
• Customized offer protocol to ensure that each buyer is aware of the credit.
