BUILD Q1 2020 32 oard is doing something different from real estate. It’s a new type of mortgage company that will upgrade any offer to an all-cash offer. They do this by purchasing homes, using their cash, on behalf of borrowers who have been approved for one of their mortgages. Once the buyer’s loan with them is ready to close, they sell the home back at the same price they bought it for, typically in two weeks or less. It’s a system where everyone stands to benefit.

While many companies are looking to employ software solutions or active replacements for estate agents, Board wants to work with and alongside the existing system to create something new. The aim is not to replace but to provide peace of mind.

They buy the home all cash on behalf of an intended buyer, then sell the house back to them when their loan is ready to close and, of course, provide the financing. An advanced, compliant structure is in place to ensure all applicable regulations are followed, with exclusive underwriting and compliance technology to make sure that every deal is of the highest quality. The culture at Board is one of open-mindedness and constant feedback. Executives actively solicit the views of team members and are honest about the challenges which lie ahead of the small company.
