REASONS TO WORK WITH JIM & HIS TEAM

1. Multiple offer record

CAREER: Jim’s clients have won 122 out of 143 multiple offer purchases. This equates to an 86% winning percentage.

2. Appraisal History

Jim has never had an appraisal cause a sale not to close. In over 500+ sales, Jim has only had three low appraisals. In each case he was able to renegotiate the price down for his buyers.

3. Earnest Money

Jim’s clients have NEVER lost their earnest money.

4. Repair Concessions

Jim’s clients get approximately three times as much in repair concessions vs. what Jim’s sellers concede in repairs. Among the hundreds of loans we close each year and hundreds of Realtors we work with, Jim Arnal negotiates the largest concessions for his buyers, time after time.—T.Wittren, Top local lender, Mortgage Express.

5. Sale Fail History

Jim’s clients have only backed back out of 5 sales on account of their home inspections. This rare statistic is based, in part, on the success of Jim’s repair negotiations and the thorough support he offers his clients when evaluating homes.
