Compass launched its Bridge Loan Services program, aimed at giving homeowners
Bridge lending has the potential to stoke demand by adding more buyers to the market while sellers working with Compass can have no out-of-pocket costs for up to six months on approved bridge loans. Spanning that gap between homes means consumers don't waste money on temporary housing and take on less risk. This year, bridge loans were the most-requested service from Compass real estate agents and their clients, becoming the catalyst for the company’s latest development.
"We are incredibly excited to be able to offer Compass Bridge Loan Services to homebuyers and sellers across the country," Carly Litzenberger, senior director of new ventures at Compass, said in a press release. "Until now it's been far too difficult for homeowners to easily access the equity in their homes. By unlocking this capital, Compass is putting the power back in the hands of the homeowner and bringing a new group of buyers to the housing market."
