The Gifford Group opening doors to new beginnings

Amber & Scotty

 Amber has a natural love for real estate. As a creative mind, she instinctively sees what could be in each home and empowers her clients to discover their own vision of a property’s potential. “I’ve always loved creating and telling stories. What a better story to create than one of a new beginning that starts at the front door.”   


Scotty, a meteorologist by trade and graduate of Texas A&M University, began investing in real estate as a side venture. The personal connections he made with families through his real estate experience and his desire to help others in real estate transactions led him to pursue real estate full-time. 


Scotty and Amber are partners in work and in life and are raising a blended family of their own. Together, they have an extensive background in real estate, sales, administration, and management. The Gifford Team pride itself in its communication skills, not only with its clients but also with each other. 


Through their teamwork, they have developed a strong track record of negotiation and exhibit the utmost integrity and honesty through every step of the home buying and selling processes.

Scotty is also a Mortgage Loan Officer and has partnered up with MiMutual Mortgage, to better serve all of our client's needs.


Scotty and Amber have cultivated their business approach with a vision of assisting their clients during one of the most difficult life events. They work with compassion to guide clients through the difficulty of selling a home. They also help clients navigate the many decisions that come with the process of buying or selling a home.


While helping clients find and sell homes is a top priority for Scotty and Amber are passionate about helping others through the life-changing transitions of real estate transactions. When working with clients, they advise their clients with empathy and personal understanding.

FAQs About the home Swap

FAQs about the home swap program, Ask the Gifford Group

How does the Home Swap work?

 The program empowers you to buy your new home prior to selling your old house on the market for maximum value. Here’s how it works:

  1. We’ll get you fully underwritten for a new home loan including a down payment advance so you can start making offers fast.
  2. Put down a winning offer on your dream home with no sales contingency, and move in right away. You’ll pay your new mortgage while the old one is covered.
  3. Up to $25,000 to get your old house ready for listing on the open market so it sells fast and for top dollar. When your house sells, you simply pay back for the loan provided. It’s that simple!

Can the Home Swap be used for condos/townhomes?

 Absolutely! As long as the home will be used as the primary residence, the Home Swap can be used to buy and sell condos, townhomes, and single-family homes. 

Can I buy new construction through the Home Swap?

Yes absolutely! As long as the builder is funding the cost of construction prior to the final closing (most large builders do this). There are some specific details unique to new construction deals depending on time to build (related to pre-approval requirements and rate locks) that you’ll want to review with the Loan Advisor once we’ve received your application. 

What are the fees associated with the program?

For all of the convenience and certainty offered with the Home Swap, there is a 1.25% convenience fee on the purchase of your new home.  You can either pay this at closing or roll this into your equity advance. This convenience fee is similar to an origination fee, which many lenders charge. 

For clients who go under contract on or after March 1, 2022, there will be a $250 processing fee added to the Knock Equity Advance loan.  This fee will be in addition to the current $1450 lender fee on the new mortgage, meaning total lender fees (other than the 1.25% convenience fee) for Knock Home Swap. 

Do I have to make two mortgage payments?

With the Home Swap, you only pay one mortgage at a time. You’ll pay the mortgage on your new home, immediately building equity, while the monthly mortgage payments on your old house are covered. 

What happens if my old house doesn’t sell on the market?

With the Home Swap, you’ll list your existing house on the market after you’ve purchased and moved into your new home. The goal is for you to sell your listing on the market for max value. That said, on the off chance your listing doesn’t sell on the market, you’ll have the option to take an offer that is provided upfront.

What is the average close time to purchase a home?

Closing Guarantee Knock guarantees that we’ll close in 30 days with the Knock Closing Guarantee. If not, you’ll get $5,000 back from Knock.
