The Mend approach

A different way to access your equity.

Home Equity Agreements offer an alternative to traditional financing. Instead of monthly payments, you share a portion of your home's future value. This structure may work well for homeowners who want liquidity without adding monthly debt service.

Equity-based qualification

Your home's equity is the primary factor in determining eligibility.

Deferred repayment

Nothing is due month to month. You settle once, when you sell, refinance, or reach the end of term.

Share of future value

We participate in your home's upside, and downside, alongside you.

*Important Disclosure: Mend makes an upfront payment to you in exchange for a contractual right to a percentage of your home's value at settlement, calculated using the Settlement Multiplier in your Agreement. Settlement occurs when you sell, refinance, or reach the end of the agreement term (typically 10 years). Because the settlement amount is based on your home's total value at that time, if your home appreciates significantly, your repayment will be higher than what you originally received. If your home decreases in value, your repayment is reduced proportionally. This is a financial product with risks; please review all terms carefully before signing. A security interest is recorded against your property, which may affect your ability to refinance. Equal Housing Opportunity.
