If you’re a VA loan buyer, this is for you. I’m excited to share how my team recently excelled in a competitive housing market by leveraging the VA loan program. Often, VA loans are misunderstood and sometimes even underestimated. Let me tell you why that’s a mistake and how we turned the tables.

In a recent sale, our VA loan offer outperformed several conventional financing offers. This isn’t just a fluke—it’s a testament to the strength of VA loans when handled correctly. Unfortunately, many sellers are still not familiar with the VA loan and are swayed by myths about their complexity. The truth is, VA loans are a powerful tool, but they require an agent who understands the nuances and can effectively communicate with listing agents to dispel any concerns.

My lender in Oldtown, who is incredibly experienced with VA loans, played a crucial role in this success. Last year, we even managed to secure a deal where our VA loan offer beat a cash offer. Yes, you read that right—a financed offer beating a cash offer, which is nearly unheard of, especially with a VA loan.

The key to our success was having a fantastic team that was not only adept at handling the transaction but also skilled in communicating with the listing agent. We made sure to address any potential concerns upfront and demonstrate that our VA loan offer was as strong as any other, if not stronger.
