We don’t just fund deals. We go to work for our borrowers!
One of our repeat borrowers recently wrapped up another successful duplex renovation, only to have his refinance appraisal come back at a shockingly low $165,000.
Now, most lenders might simply suggest spending another $700 on a second appraisal and hoping for a better outcome.
That’s not how we operate at DRE.
Instead, I spent the better part of my day dissecting the appraisal, identifying discrepancies, building a detailed case to challenge the valuation, and helping our borrower submit it to his refinance lender and appraiser.
The result?
🎯 Original Appraisal: $165,000
🎯 Revised Appraisal: $225,000
💰 A $60,000 INCREASE!
That's a HUGE win for our borrower and a perfect example of why relationships matter in this business.
At DiPaolo Real Estate, our commitment doesn't end when we fund your deal. We want to see you succeed from acquisition and renovation all the way through your exit strategy.
After all, getting into a deal is only half the battle. Getting out successfully is what really matters.
So here's my question: Would YOUR lender go the extra mile for you?
Real Relationships. Real Results. That's the DRE Difference.
