How Easy Realty Handles Investor, Subject-To, Seller Financing, Wholesale, and Creative Financing Offers
Easy Realty receives inquiries and proposals from investors, wholesalers, and buyers using creative financing strategies. These may include subject-to transactions, seller financing, assignments, novations, installment sales, and other non-traditional acquisition structures.
This article explains how Easy Realty evaluates these proposals, what information may be required from prospective buyers, and how EasyBot responds to these inquiries.
What Is a Creative Financing Offer?A creative financing offer is a proposal to purchase real estate using methods other than traditional cash or institutional mortgage financing.
Examples include:
- Subject-to transactions
- Seller financing
- Lease options
- Contract for deed arrangements
- Assignable contracts
- Wholesale transactions
- Novation agreements
These transactions can be legitimate purchase proposals, but they often require additional review and verification.
Easy Realty's ApproachEasy Realty does not automatically reject investor offers or creative financing proposals.
Every proposal is evaluated on its own merits and may be presented to the seller when sufficient information is provided for seller consideration.
Easy Realty's goal is to:
- Protect seller interests
- Verify buyer credibility
- Preserve confidential information
- Ensure the seller has enough information to make an informed decision
Before releasing seller financial information or engaging in detailed discussions regarding the seller's mortgage or financing situation, Easy Realty may request:
- Proof of funds
- Identification of the buyer or purchasing entity
- Confirmation whether the buyer is the principal purchaser or intends to assign the contract
- Information regarding the proposed financing structure
- A written purchase agreement or contract
- Additional documentation necessary to evaluate the proposal
Investor inquiries frequently request:
- Mortgage statements
- Loan balances
- Payoff information
- Loan terms
- Other seller financial information
Easy Realty generally does not release confidential seller financial information until:
- The prospective buyer has been identified
- Buyer credibility has been verified
- Appropriate documentation has been received
- The seller authorizes further disclosure
The following is an example of a common investor proposal:
- Purchase price substantially composed of subject-to financing
- Existing mortgage remaining in place
- Seller financing component
- Limited cash paid to seller at closing
- Request for mortgage information before submitting a formal contract
These proposals are not automatically rejected. However, Easy Realty may seek additional information before moving forward.
Example Red FlagsThe following factors may require additional review:
- No proof of funds provided
- Buyer identity unclear
- Purchaser intends to assign contract
- Request for seller financial documents before verification
- No written agreement submitted
- Incomplete purchasing entity information
- Inability to verify buyer experience or transaction history
The presence of any of these factors does not necessarily invalidate a proposal. They simply warrant additional due diligence.

Easy Realty seeks to evaluate all legitimate purchase proposals fairly while protecting the interests of its clients.

This approach helps ensure transparency, protects the seller, and supports informed decision-making by all parties involved.
