At Mattamy Homes, we’ve gotten a lot of buzz and interest in our offer to cover one year of mortgage payments up to $4,150 monthly for buyers of our homes in Edmonton, Sherwood Park, Calgary and Airdrie. But beyond how exciting this opportunity is for Homeseekers, one thing that does not seem to have received quite as much consideration is how big of an opportunity this is for real estate agents working in the new homes space.
Bigger commissions for you.
While the offer to pay the mortgage for the first year is an incredible value for Homeseekers, it also offers you as an agent a monetary advantage. Because we at Mattamy are offering this deal in lieu of other benefits, such as design credits or price reductions, the list price of each home is higher than it otherwise would be.
That means if you sell one of these homes, you will receive your commission based on that higher list price. This puts more money in your pocket at the end of the day.
You’ll get more interested buyers.
Because this offer is making so much noise, you’re likely to see an increase in the number of interested buyers. We’ve noticed an influx of inter-provincial migrants as well. That means interested buyers from BC are looking to move to Alberta, and this offer comes at an opportune time.
Since some of the interested buyers you’ll be interacting with won’t be as familiar with buying in Alberta, it's important to educate yourself on the offer and practice explaining the benefits to them.
While the money itself is no doubt attractive, you can also prompt them to think about some other benefits it brings, such as:
- Using the funds they would have otherwise spent on mortgage payments to buy new furniture.
- Putting the money into a savings account instead and earning interest.
- Leasing out the property and collecting both rent and Mattamy’s payments.
These not-so-obvious benefits are something you can explain to potential buyers and may tip some of them over into signing on.
Mattamy has the experience and knowledge to back up our claims.
Mattamy homes is Canada’s largest homebuilder, with an established presence in Ontario and Alberta, we’re also one of the biggest in North America. While we haven’t (yet!) expanded to BC, we have seen increased interest from BC residents looking at Alberta. All that is to say we aren’t some fly-by-night homebuilder looking to make a quick buck. We have the knowledge and expertise to back our claims and we stand behind the quality of our homes, with over 45 years of experience and multiple award-winning projects under our belt.
If you’re an agent and not currently working with us, feel free to get in touch and ask how you can also take advantage of our groundbreaking mortgage payments promotion.
