For many, homeownership is a long and challenging journey, especially when facing the pressures of relocating for work. Future Acre Resident Eric, like many relocators, found himself in a difficult position when he had the opportunity to advance his career – but that advancement required a quick transfer to a new location in North Carolina.
That’s when he discovered Acre, a solution that not only simplified and expedited the home buying process but also provided flexibility and strong financial outcomes.
Moving with Confidence, Not Chaos
At the end of May, Eric learned he had to relocate. He had limited time to make this transition and the housing market was competitive. He and his family could look at rentals, but there were simply no suitable rentals available in the family’s desired school districts. Purchasing a home through traditional methods felt overwhelming.
In fact, Eric had previously attempted to move to Raleigh, but the logistical challenges of doing so – chief among them, finding a good house in a desirable neighborhood – intense competition in logistical roadblocks and intense competition made it nearly impossible. The experience was so frustrating for him and his family, ultimately leading to a career shift. This time, Acre’s innovative approach allowed him to relocate without the financial stress and uncertainty that once held him back.
"Acre is a lower-commitment alternative for purchasing a house," Eric explained. Instead of spending months navigating the complexities of loan approvals and down payments, Acre gave him a straightforward path to their new home.
Easier, and a More Competitive Offer
Eric’s experience with Acre was defined by its speed and simplicity. "I found out at the end of May that I had to transfer to a new location. I was impressed with the speed at which Acre could identify a home that met my family’s needs, working closely with my agent, and with little effort on my side," he said. Acre’s approval process was finished in about a day, and within about 3 weeks Acre connected him with an experienced agent, won the offer on a great home, and closed.
Unlike the drawn-out mortgage process, Acre allowed him to secure his home quickly—so he could focus on his job and family rather than financial red tape. With Acre, Eric became a cash buyer and with the collaboration of his real estate agent, was able to submit a compelling offer that was quickly accepted.
"I honestly haven’t thought about my payments or anything like that in the last three months. I needed that mental bandwidth to help my family transition to a new place, new schools, and for me to start a new job," Eric shared. By removing the stress of traditional home financing, Acre gave him the peace of mind to move forward with confidence.
A New Way to Think About Homeownership
Traditional mortgages come with the weight of commitment—high rates, hefty down payments and interest, and years of being locked in. With Acre, Eric didn’t have to put his life on hold. He moved into a home he and his family loved, knowing he had the flexibility to purchase later or simply cash out his share of the home’s appreciation if life took him elsewhere. “I’ve already told others about [Acre].” He even encouraged a colleague struggling with the home buying process to consider Acre, emphasizing the strong financial optionality and flexibility it provides.
Try Before You Buy, With Acre
Eric’s journey is just one example of how to remove the stress from relocation. With Acre, you can secure a home quickly and without the debt of a traditional mortgage. Acre lets you “try before you buy” in a new location, a new neighborhood, and a new home, all while building wealth instead of throwing money away on rent.
