Sell my house and stay in it.

Sell your home at market value, then stay in it as a renter on a leaseback you control. Convert your equity without moving, keep your routine, and move when you are ready, not when the market demands it.

The service

Equity now, moving later.

Sell and Stay is for owners who want the financial certainty of a sale without the disruption of a move. You sell your home at market value to a qualified buyer, sign a leaseback that lets you remain in the home as a renter, and convert your equity while your life stays exactly where it is.

The leaseback terms are negotiated up front: how long you stay, what you pay, and what happens if your plans change. For many owners, especially those transitioning to a next chapter, it is the difference between selling on the market's timeline and selling on their own.

  • Sell at market value, not a discount
  • Stay in your home with a negotiated leaseback
  • Convert equity without packing a single box

How it works

Sell, stay, then move on your terms.

01

Value and plan

We value your home from real market evidence and map out the sale, the leaseback, and your move timeline.

02

Sell at market value

Your home is marketed publicly or off-market and sold to a qualified buyer at a fair market price.

03

Sign the leaseback

A written leaseback sets your rent, your stay period, and the terms if your plans change. No surprises.

04

Move when ready

Your equity is in hand and your home is still yours to live in, until the day you choose to leave.

The benefits

Why owners choose to sell and stay.

Equity without moving

Access the value in your home for the next chapter, a purchase, or financial flexibility, without leaving the address you love.

No double move

No temporary rental, no storage, no two moves in twelve months. You stay put until your next home is truly ready.

Time to decide

Selling is a decision with a long tail. Sell and Stay gives you the certainty of the sale and the time to choose your next move calmly.

How does selling my house and staying in it work?

You sell your home at market value to a qualified buyer, and as part of the transaction you sign a leaseback agreement that lets you remain in the home as a renter for an agreed period. You receive your equity at closing, and you keep living in the home until your move date.

What is a leaseback agreement?

A leaseback is a rental agreement written into or alongside the sale. It specifies the rent you pay, the length of your stay, and the terms for ending it early or extending. It is a legal document, which is exactly why it is negotiated by professionals before you sign the sale.

How long can I stay after selling my home?

Leasebacks typically run from a few months to a year, and some can be extended by mutual agreement. The length is negotiated up front based on your plans, so you are never left guessing when the keys change hands.

What happens to my equity when I sell and stay?

Your equity is paid to you at closing, minus closing costs and any agreed terms, exactly as in a normal sale. The difference is that you remain in the home, so the equity is working for you while your life stays unchanged.

Is Sell and Stay right for every seller?

It suits owners who want to sell without the disruption of an immediate move: those relocating on a delayed timeline, transitioning into a next chapter, or waiting for a new home to be ready. If it is not the right fit for your situation, we will tell you honestly and recommend the path that is.
