As a first time homebuyer here in Denver, I was having a hard time making sense of the best path for us while we looked for a home this past March/April. The homes we wanted were all desirable, and encountering multiple offers. And personally, I wanted to put as little down as possible, which was making us less attractive on paper even though we were really well qualified (excellent income and credit). One day I was reading TechCrunch and came across a startup called Board, and after that, it completely changed our homebuying experience in the best ways possible! I wrote one of the founders that night, he wrote back (and I learned they were based here in Denver) and I think it might have been like 24 hours before we were approved to make an all cash offer for $750K - where Board was going to buy the home in cash within a week and basically simultaneously sell it to us with a mortgage we secured with them. I traded some emails with their mortgage folks and they were super responsive and treated me like I was a long-time friend of theirs, and they sourced a great loan option with only 5% down (and which was better than anything a mortgage lender I had been using was able to offer - this really sealed the deal for me). We were off shopping immediately and the first day we saw a house we loved, we put in our offer that night - turns out there were two other buyers but our all cash offer won out. Having just closed this past Friday (we closed in less than 2 weeks), I really can't convey how awesome this experience was, especially for something as painful/time consuming as this was shaping up to be. Its funny, I'm not usually one to advocate for a company or brand, but in this case I am going to tell anyone I know (or those reading this) that might be looking for a home, to really consider using Board b/c this all cash thing is amazing and they will really have an advantage getting the home of their dreams.
