BRIDGE LOAN SERVICES
A simple solution to bridge the gap between the home you have and the home you want.
Compass Bridge Loan Services gets you access to competitive rates and dedicated support from industry-leading lenders, with the exclusive option to get up to six months of your loan payments fronted when you sell your home with a Compass agent.
What’s a bridge loan?
A bridge loan is a short-term loan that uses the equity from your current home to help you make an offer on a new one, without rushing to sell.
Our Solution
After months of research, Compass has selected lenders that are offering competitive rates and dedicated service for Compass clients. Already working with a lender you love? No problem. This unique solution lets you choose the provider that works best for you.
Bridge Loan Advance
Work with a Compass agent to sell your current home and get up to six months of your bridge loan payments and other associated costs fronted — an exclusive offering for Compass clients, regardless of the lender you use.
Does a bridge loan make sense for you?
Is your money tied up in your current home?
If you need to move but your money is tied up in the equity of your current house, a bridge loan can help you secure funding to facilitate the transition to a new home — like for a down payment or mortgage payments. Once your current home sells, you’ll use the proceeds to pay the bridge loan back.
Do you need to move within a specific timeframe?
If you’re relocating for a new job or other reason, a bridge loan can afford you the freedom to move on your own terms and secure a new house when you need to, without having to wait for your old home to sell.
Does your home require renovations or other work?
Whether you’re using Compass Concierge to increase your home’s value, or are making improvements on your own, it may be easier to have construction work done when you’re out of the house. A bridge loan can help you move faster so you’re out of the house while those improvements are being completed.

"If you are one of those people who doesn't have enough time for such an important decision of buying home and need a really trusted expert, I would highly recommend you working with Brad. All of us have different tastes, perspectives, needs and reasons to buy house. Brad will understand which option would be the best choice, and within the frame of your requirements he would present best choices to you. One other thing about Brad that I like, he has the confidence of voluntarily sharing his opinions, perspectives and deal transaction experience which I believe the most valuable part of working with Brad. We bought a house with Brad and he was available all the time we need him even during the complex mortgage transaction."
