Another one SOLD in Durant, OK! We’re thrilled to announce the successful closing of 1018 Hillcrest Ave, Durant, OK 74701—a well-maintained 2-bedroom, 2-bath home located just minutes from schools, shopping, and all the conveniences of town. But this wasn’t your typical listing. This property came with a unique challenge: solar panels.

Thanks to our proven marketing strategy and the combined experience of two of the top real estate professionals in Texoma, we were able to get the job done.

☀️ The Solar Panel Challenge: Not Always a Bright Spot

At first glance, solar panels sound like a great feature—but when it comes to selling a home, they often cause more issues than benefits. While the system itself can convey to new buyers, here's what most people don’t realize:

• The solar panel loan must be assumed by the buyer, meaning they must qualify just like a mortgage.

• The loan adds to the buyer’s debt-to-income ratio, which often pushes them beyond what lenders will approve.

• As a result, otherwise-qualified buyers can become instantly disqualified due to the solar debt alone.

In this case, it required constant coordination with lenders, buyers, and title to keep the deal on track. But we never gave up—and neither did the right buyer.

🏡 Property Overview

• 2 bedrooms | 2 bathrooms | 1,232 sq ft

• Updated flooring, granite countertops, and tile shower

• Large fenced backyard, covered patio, and two-car garage

• Centrally located near Durant schools and amenities

From curb appeal to layout, this home had everything a buyer could want—minus the complexity of the solar panel loan. But with the right team in place, even tough situations turn into smooth closings.
