Our Seller's Closing Guarantee offer (also known herein as the "offer" or "program") is an optional feature of our Approved Home Buyer™ Program.

(known herein as "LMI" or "Lender") we may issue a Seller's Closing Guarantee Confirmation Letter guaranteeing the borrower's eligibility for a home loan and thus ability to fulfill obligations as a purchaser of Seller's property under the terms of a Sales/Purchase Agreement between those parties. Borrower/s herein refer to all borrowers or loan applicants party to the loan application made to LMI. Terms and conditions of this guarantee are defined herein and further in the Seller's Closing Guarantee Confirmation Letter. By participating in this program you (the "Seller/s" of the property being purchased by our loan applicant/s) agree to these terms and conditions.

The Guarantee:

If the Purchaser/s of Seller/s property all being approved borrower/s on a loan application made to LMI have obtained approval and an Approved Home Buyer™ Confirmation Letter from LMI and have complied with all terms of our Approved Home Buyer™ Program, and are subsequently not able to secure a mortgage loan as defined in said Approved Home Buyer™ Confirmation Letter because LMI is no longer able or willing to close Purchaser/Borrower's loan causing the purchase/sale contract to fail to close, LMI will pay the Seller/s the sum of two thousand dollars ($2,000).
