Q.
Isn't it against wedding registry etiquette to ask for
money?
A. If you're
family is old-fashioned, this may be the case. Many family
members don't feel comfortable giving you money....but WHY
is the more important question. The answer is they don't
know what you're going to DO with that money. Vow2Save
solves that, they KNOW you're going to put the registry money
they give you for your wedding into a good cause, your new
house.
Q.
How does my family know I'm not "blowing" their money?
A. By design, your
B of A savings account donations are difficult to access.
You will NOT receive an ATM card for this account, you will need
to go into the bank to withdrawl. (Please don't though!)
The money your family gives you never touches your hands, it
goes directly from your free wedding website into your
account.
Q.
Is it safe?
A. Absolutely!
Your Vow2Save page 100% hacker proof, and a "secured server"
protects your family when they donate online with their credit
or bank card.
Q.
How can I track our down payment savings progress?
A. Your wedding
website has a real-time thermometer which will tell you AND your
family how much progress has been made. Allowing everyone
to see your progress increases excitement and donations :)
Q.
What happens if I don't get enough money?
A. At least you
have a start! Your wedding is one of the times in your
life when you will get the most cash. Even if you don't
get enough to buy immediately, the registry money in your B of A
account is interest bearing and will continue to accrue
additional money until you are in the place to buy.
Q.
What if I change my mind?
A. The money in
your B of A savings account is yours; but we hope you will not
change your mind! If you're getting discouraged, go read
up online about how
owning property brings true wealth :)
Q.
What if I already have a relationship with another Orange
County Realtor? Do I have to buy with The Weeks Team?
A. I'm not going
to lie, we want your business, that is the point of this
encouraging first time buyer program. That being said, we
encourage and endorse people who are loyal to their real estate
agent. Currently no other real estate agents in OC have
the TECHNOLOGY to run this program, but if you tell us who you
are working with and why, we may make an exception. We're
not greedy, the point of this program is for you to get a house
:)
Q.
What if I don't like my free wedding website? Can I
customize it?
A. Absolutely!
You can add photos, change colors to match your wedding theme,
and link out to other websites as you wish. Your Vow2Save
page is not customizable, because that is a secured page your
family donates on :)
Do one or both of you already own a
home? Are you interested on getting the facts about
selling one property and moving into the other? Or selling
both houses and buying a new home together? We can help - just
let us know your situation - and we would be happy to point you in
the direction that is best for your unique scenario!
