Cedar

Welcome to the Cedar Team John Stengel! John has spent his career empowering homebuyers to navigate the ever-changing real estate landscape. As a licensed mortgage loan originator, he guided numerous first-time buyers towards homeownership, gaining firsthand insight into the obstacles they face - rising home prices, high interest rates, and financial barriers that make buying a home feel out of reach. Now, as Head of US Sales at Cedar, John collaborates with mortgage and real estate professional to expand their client base and secure more transactions using Cedar’s innovative co-buyer model. By reducing upfront costs and lowering monthly mortgage payments, Cedar expands homeownership opportunities for buyers who might otherwise be priced out of their local real estate market. Whether someone is low on cash to close, burdened by debt, or struggling to qualify for a home purchase, John believes Cedar provides a powerful solution to turn their homeownership dreams into reality. #newhire #techownership #housingaffordability

Aloha! Wondering how we value the land under the homes we co-buy? Cedar harnesses geospatial data and technology as we provide affordable housing for all!

"When you buy a home right now, part of the reason why it's SO expensive is that you have to buy the land, the house, and all these other rights (air rights, mineral rights) that most people don't care about - they just want a roof over their head that they own....We're unbundling the home into its two component parts - the land and the house - reducing costs by 30-50%" #tech #innovation #homeaffordability #housingmarkets Watch the first couple of minutes of the Inman Conference below: https://lnkd.in/eKjpyHab

Excited for our partnership with Zown to reduce barriers to homeownership in Canada! Read this exciting article to learn more: https://lnkd.in/g2jZH6Eq "In response to Canada’s pressing housing affordability crisis, Zown is partnering exclusively with?Cedar?in Canada, a company making homeownership more affordable through an innovative leasehold model. Rather than buying both the land and the house, Cedar purchases the land while the homeowner buys the structure itself. This arrangement, known as a leasehold, allows homeowners to lease the land for 99 years, with the option to purchase the land back at any time." #tech #toronto #househacking #homeaffordability
