Mission Impossible

Your mission if you so choose is first time home buyer Sherry Doe. She has poor credit, no money down and wants to buy a home right away. Your mission is to help her over the next 6 months to repair her credit, show her how to save for a down payment and get her into a new home. This message will self-destruct in 10 seconds… KABOOM

How on earth can I help her in 6 months? Let me call my credit repair specialist.

Jack it’s me Ethan I need your help. I have a first time homebuyer and I am not sure how I can get them into a home in 6 months. She has poor credit and no money down.

Don’t worry Ethan I can help you let’s call your client.

Sherry, my name is Ethan I’m here to help you get into your new home in 6 months. Can we meet?

Are you sure this line is secure?

Yes, it is.

Let’s meet at the local coffee shop.

BUM BUM BUM BUM BUM BUM BUM BUM tooladoo, tooladoo, tooladoo, toodoo (THEME SONG)

Thank you for meeting me. I want you to meet Jack he is a credit repair specialist.

I thought you were coming alone, are you sure he wasn’t followed?

He wasn’t followed and I had no other choice. You need credit repair and need it right away.

While he is repairing your credit do you have a plan on how to save for your down payment?

I think so, but how can I?

Do you have money coming back from taxes?

Yes I do.

Then you should be okay using that. Have you served in the military?

Actually I did some years ago.

Then you can also do a VA loan to help with no money down.

5 months later…

Hey Jack, Ethan here how are we looking on the credit repair?

Great just got the last item fixed and the score is high enough to qualify for a home loan.

Hey Sharon it’s Ethan we did it. You are now qualified for a home loan. Let’s start looking for a home.

Hello? Sharon are you there?

Ethan the day we met you should have come alone, I’m sorry.

Wait, what do you mean?

Your friend Jack already called me and told me I was approved for a loan. He introduced me to another friend of his to help me. I couldn’t wait. I’m sorry. Thank you for all your help!

Ring, ring. Congratulations Mr. Ethan mission accomplished.

 I don’t understand I failed I did not help her find a home in 6 months.

Yes you did. The mission was that she found a home and she did. Well done…

THE END

This story is very close to a scenario I had, except the part with the behind the back credit repair person. That was added for a twist. The buyer closed with me and is a happy camper.
