News & Updates

So, you’ve been doing a lot of scrolling through online real estate listings on evenings and weekends. You’ve been researching the schools in the areas you would like to live in (and can actually afford). Maybe you’ve even been preapproved for a home loan already. It sounds like you’re ready for the next step in the home-buying journey: finding a real estate agent.

You’re the hero of this journey for sure, but heroes can’t do it alone. They need help along the way. Think of any famous quest in books or movies. Does the hero defeat all the bad guys on their own? Heck no. The hero gets help and guidance from some key allies along the way. Throughout the home-buying process, your Mortgage Advisor and your agent are those key allies.

But it can be hard to decide which real estate agent to work with. Where do you even begin? This is why Salal has partnered with HomeAdvantage®. Salal members get free access to a whole suite of cost-saving home-buying tools and resources. Best of all, when you buy or sell your home with an agent in the HomeAdvantage network, you can earn Cash Rewards* equal to 20% of your agent’s commission. That’s real money at a time when you might really need it. Calculate how much you could earn.

Finding the right agent can make a big difference in your home-buying experience. A good agent will know the ins and outs of your local market. They will show you properties and help you put together an offer and negotiate with the seller. All agents in the HomeAdvantage network have gone through a thorough vetting process based on their experience, commitment to service, and local expertise.

*The HomeAdvantage program is made available to members through a relationship between Salal Credit Union and HomeAdvantage. Cash Rewards are awarded through the HomeAdvantage program to buyers and sellers who select and use a real estate agent in the HomeAdvantage network. Home buyers or sellers are not eligible for Cash Rewards if they use an agent outside this network. Cash Rewards amounts are dependent on the commissions paid to the HomeAdvantage network agent. Obtaining a mortgage or use of any specific lending institution is not a requirement to earn Cash Rewards. If you are obtaining a mortgage, Salal Credit Union may have specific rules on how Cash Rewards can be paid out. Cash Rewards are available in most states; however, are void where prohibited by law or by Salal Credit Union. Please consult with your Salal Credit Union Mortgage Advisor for details that may affect you.
