Arrival, launched in 2022, features a new private money-backed mortgage product that offers a simple yet innovative solution to homebuyers competing with cash offers, power buyers, and the desire to buy their next home before selling. Compared to conventional "power buyer" loans, an Arrival loan enables homeowners to much more quickly and easily tap the equity in their current home to help them buy their next home. Arrival provides homebuyers with a loan up to (and frequently even OVER) 100% of the purchase price of their next home, secured by the equity in their existing home. And unlike other buy-before-you-sell (BBYS) solutions, homeowners can choose their own real estate agent and conventional mortgage lender. Arrival is the only BBYS solution that is a true ally to the real estate and mortgage professional community.
