Tiegen Boberg Real Estate Success: A 16-Day Zero-Down Closing
At The Funding Lab, we believe homeownership should be a streamlined reality. This Tiegen Boberg real estate success story shows what happens when an operations team aligns with a premier Realtor. Recently, we helped the Cooley family become homeowners. We achieved a 16-day closing with absolutely no money out of pocket. This is a feat many think is impossible today.
The Challenges of Fast-Track Homebuying
First-time buyers often fear the process will be slow and expensive. The Cooley family was eager to move quickly. However, they needed a solution for speed and upfront costs. In a competitive market, a 30-day escrow can feel like a lifetime. Furthermore, down payment burdens keep many qualified buyers on the sidelines.
Furthermore, moving from contract to closing in just over two weeks requires every “cog in the machine” to turn perfectly. Any delay in documentation, processing, or appraisal can derail a fast-track closing, especially when utilizing specialized zero-down programs that require meticulous underwriting.
The Solution – A Power Team Partnership with Tiegen Boberg
We mobilized our operations team to overcome these hurdles. We worked closely with Tiegen Boberg of Coldwell Banker. Tiegen is a master of the Placer County market. His “white-glove” service matches my own commitment at The Funding Lab.
We utilized our Ops Perfection framework to handle the heavy lifting. My team ensured the Cooleys were “Audit-Ready” before they signed the contract. This eliminated typical back-and-forth delays. While Tiegen negotiated terms, we managed the zero-down requirements. Consequently, “no money out of pocket” became a guaranteed outcome at the signing table.
“Just 16 days from contract to closing and NO money out of pocket! I’m so grateful to have been part of their journey along with their incredible Realtor, and our exceptional operations team! Trust me, it matters who you choose to work with!”

Why This Real Estate Deal Was a Success
This closing stands as a testament to the fact that your choice of professional partners determines your result. We achieved a 16-day closing because we refused to accept the “status quo” of the mortgage industry.
- Strategic Speed: By syncing our internal processing with Tiegen’s timeline, we slashed the traditional closing time by half.
- Financial Precision: We successfully leveraged programs that allowed the buyers to move in with zero out-of-pocket expenses.
- Proactive Communication: The Cooley family never had to wonder where they stood; we created a “no-surprises” environment from day 1 to day 16.
We create possibilities and happy homeowners every day, and seeing the Cooleys officially become homeowners in record time is exactly why I founded The Funding Lab.
