PENSIO POWER FOR HOME BUYING
A Pensio Power Deposit Services Guarantee is a certificate that can be used in place of the cash deposit a home buyer needs to pay when signing a property purchase agreement.
How it Works
A Pensio Power Deposit Services Guarantee is a certificate that can be used in place of the cash deposit a home buyer needs to pay when signing a property purchase agreement. It acts as a guarantee of the deposit payment in lieu of cash. At closing, the buyer then simply pays the full purchase price less their small cash deposit.
A Pensio Power Deposit Services Guarantee can be issued to secure most types of residential properties with closing terms to match the needs of the buyer and the seller. Most property purchases close within months, but pre-construction new home construction can take up to 48 months. There is only a one time fee required. There are no ongoing fees or interest charges. The fee varies depending on the term of the Pensio Power Deposit Services Guarantee and the amount required.

Pre-Construction New Build Homes
We can provide you with unconditional approvals to enable you to delay the payment of the Pensio Power Deposit Services Guarantee fee, so you can make an offer to purchase a pre-construction new build home with the certainty of knowing that the Deposit Services Guarantee is there when you need it.
When you have found your new home to purchase and have agreed on terms and a price, show the real seller or real estate agent your Pensio Power Deposit Services Guarantee approval, and make sure you obtain the seller’s acceptance of this form of deposit services guarantee before you enter into your purchase agreement (the seller or Real Estate Agent can contact Pensio for your Pensio Power Deposit Services Guarantee Certificate).
Deposit amounts for pre-construction new build homes are generally 20% of the purchase price. We require you to put down a minimum 5% cash deposit of the purchase price and the Pensio Power Deposit Services Guarantee will cover the remaining 15% of the purchase price for up to 48 months. Once your purchase agreement with acceptance of the Pensio Power Deposit Services Guarantee is accepted by the seller then you will be required to pay the Pensio Power Deposit Services Guarantee fee.
Prior to closing, your lawyer will advise you of the amount you need to pay the seller. At this point, you will have to pay the full purchase price, which includes the deposit amount we have guaranteed to the Seller.
