Customers must (a) enter into a purchase contract with a mellohome approved partner agent and (b) close on said home pursuant to the purchase contract, with the previously retained mellohome approved partner agent, no later than 12 months after accepting a Buy-and-Sell Grand Slam certificate, 24 months after accepting a Buy Grand Slam certificate, or 6 months after accepting a Sell Grand Slam certificate, whichever is shorter. A certificate is considered accepted upon receipt. Offer void where mellohome approved partners are not available and partners may not be available in all markets. mellohome partners are not employees of mellohome.
For Buy-and-Sell Grand Slam and Buy Grand Slam Offers, once the customer has entered into a purchase contract facilitated by a mellohome network real estate agent, the customer must lock a mortgage loan rate with loanDepot. The mortgage for the purchase transaction must close with loanDepot. Buy-and-Sell Grand Slam and Buy Grand Slam Offers are subject to credit approval by loanDepot and upon other applicable mortgage application terms and conditions. The Buy-and-Sell Grand Slam and the Buy Grand Slam Offers are not available without a loanDepot mortgage.
Minimum purchase price and loan amounts must fall within loanDepot loan program guidelines to be eligible for the Buy-and-Sell Grand Slam and the Buy Grand Slam. The Grand Slam Program may not be available for certain loan programs based on cash back and other restrictions. The Offer is not available for refinance transactions.
mellohome will pay the corresponding cash back directly to the customer within 30 days after closing of all transactions needed to qualify for the customer’s corresponding Grand Slam program, unless required by state law to be provided at closing. Customers’ use of mellohome network Realtors must be confirmed to mellohome’s satisfaction.
Tax laws may require mellohome to collect your tax identification number and/or social security number and to issue you a 1099-MISC or 1099 form. mellohome may also be required to report the benefits provided to you under the Grand Slam Program to the Internal Revenue Service.

The cash back is subject to adjustments or cancellation if mellohome is required to share any portion of the real estate transaction commissions with parties other than the buyer’s agent and the seller’s agent, or if mellohome is otherwise prohibited by law or contract from distributing the cash back to customers. In some cases, parties to a purchase and/or sale transaction, or certain lenders financing a loan transaction, will not allow a buyer to receive a cash back and/or may otherwise restrict mellohome from distributing any or all of the cash back offered here in. Customers should discuss the Grand Slam Program with parties to a real estate transaction and with their lender regarding the program benefits. After issuance of an offer certificate, customers must promptly advise mellohome of sales price changes or changes to participants in purchase and sale transactions (including, without limitation, changes in the buyer, seller, lender, or real estate agent). Such changes could affect customer eligibility for Grand Slam program. Although you were not required to use a mellohome network agent or to close your loan with loanDepot, as explained in these terms, the Offer is no longer valid if you do not use a mellohome network agent or if you do not use a loanDepot mortgage to finance your home purchase.
