2. Financing

How will you pay?

Pre-approval letter

Tip: attaching a pre-approval letter makes a stronger offer.

Sellers weigh certainty as heavily as price. An offer with a lender's pre-approval attached tells the seller your financing is already underway. Uploading one is optional.

[ Backend: the buyer's and the seller's closing agent must not resolve to the same person, allowing for name variants ("Sample M Person" vs "Sample Marie Person"). Matching is a server-side identity check, not a string compare in this form. The error block above is rendered hidden for reference. ]

Closing information

Preferred closing date

[ Weekends must be unselectable. A native date input cannot disable weekends, so the real build swaps this for the picker component with a business-day validator; the 30/60/90 presets already land on business days. ]

The date you take possession of the property — when the keys are yours. This is often, but not always, the closing date.

Tell the seller where you can flex — dates, occupancy, anything else.

Seller rent-back optionWould you allow the seller to stay in the home after closing, as a tenant?

Included / excluded with the sale

Appliances to convey

[ Terms come from the Appliances vocabulary (3-Taxonomies), the same list the seller ticks on Step 3 of the listing wizard — so "included" and "requested" compare term for term. ]

Documentation

[ Spec requires PCI compliance on this section. No payment instrument is collected here, so PCI DSS does not attach to these uploads — but the documents are financial PII and need private-filesystem storage, access control and retention rules. Flag for Christian: confirm what "PCI compliance" is meant to cover. ]

[ Spec: "Interest rate — pull automatically from U.S. Treasury Data API". A static prototype cannot call an API, so the rate above is a hard-coded placeholder. Flag for Christian: the Treasury series publishes yields, not mortgage rates — confirm which series and what spread to apply, or use the Freddie Mac PMMS instead. ]

[ CAPTCHA / bot challenge mounts here — spec item 10, "select all the boats". Not simulated in the prototype: a fake challenge trains buyers to click through a real one. The live build wires an accessible provider (hCaptcha or Cloudflare Turnstile) with an audio alternative. ]
