Our on time closing guarantee
Owning’s On Time Closing Guarantee offers eligible borrowers assurance that their loan will close on time or the borrower will receive a $1,940 check.
How does it work?
- Eligible borrowers who do not close on time will receive a refund check in the mail by submitting a request to [email protected] within 30 calendar days of closing.
- If the loan does not close by the original specified closing date in the purchase or refinance, Owning mails a check for $1,940 within 90 days of the request being submitted.
- Guarantee recipients will be responsible for all taxes and fees associated with receipt of the Closing Guarantee refund, which will be considered miscellaneous income received.
- Owning will send all recipients and file with the IRS, a Form 1099-MISC for the year in which they receive the payment.
