Ribbon Brings Novel All-Cash Offer and Closing Certainty to More Communities in Arkansas, Colorado and Illinois

Guaranteed close offers homebuyers and sellers confidence in an uncertain market

NEW YORK, Oct. 5, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Ribbon, the homeownership company, has expanded its services into three new markets in Arkansas, Colorado and Illinois, empowering local homebuyers and sellers to face intensifying market challenges with greater certainty.

By expanding the reach of its robust homeownership solutions and best-in-class software, Ribbon will help level the playing field for everyday people in Hot Springs, Ark., Greeley, Colo. and Champaign-Urbana, Ill.

As investors buy a record share of single-family homes and mortgage rates increase, everyday buyers — especially first-time, FHA or VA homebuyers — need advocates to overcome these growing challenges. With its expansion into Hot Springs, Greeley and Champaign-Urbana, RibbonCash Offers enable buyers to bid confidently for the home of their dreams by leveraging the most powerful offer in real estate: Cash.

Through its guaranteed close, Ribbon removes home sale, financing and appraisal contingencies, giving sellers peace of mind even as pending sales fall through at a rate unseen since early 2020.

"As we've expanded state-by-state, we've also followed where our partners and demand need Ribbon to be in existing states," said Shaival Shah, CEO and co-founder of Ribbon.

"With new coverage in Hot Springs, Greeley and Champaign-Urbana, we're offering more home buyers and sellers certainty in an uncertain market. And we're offering their agents and lenders a guaranteed close, which means guaranteed commission - and that is everything for someone's small business right now."

By partnering rather than competing with local lenders and brokerages, Ribbon offers buyers and sellers a competitive advantage against challenging marketing conditions and a persistent investor presence. Loan officers recognize the value of streamlined solutions, enabling their businesses to grow while serving their communities.

"Expanding the CASH Advantage program, powered by Ribbon, to Greeley area homebuyers is a game changer," said Chris Larson, loan officer with leading national mortgage lender Synergy One Lending. "Ribbon's partnership supports Synergy One's ongoing mission to humanize and modernize the home lending experience. With the backing of an all-cash offer that's guaranteed to close, our buyers will have an impressive advantage even as market conditions change."

Hot Springs brokers at Crye-Leike, the third-largest independently owned real estate company in the nation, welcome the opportunity to close more guaranteed deals, more quickly, and with more assurance for buyers.

"We're looking forward to combining forces with Ribbon, leveraging its powerful tool with our strong connections in the community to help our buyers in Hot Springs win their dream homes," said Kristyn Cooley, managing broker at Crye-Leike in Hot Springs. "Eliminating key contingencies that keep sales from going through will help our homebuyers compete with investors, while making it that much easier for agents to get an accepted offer." 

Ribbon operates in 17 states across the South and the Midwest. For more information about Ribbon, visit www.ribbonhome.com.
