Sell Your Home, But Stay Until You Are Ready
Access your home's equity now without the rush of moving immediately. Sell your Montgomery County, MD or DC Metro Area property and lease it back on your timeline.
A Calmer Way to Transition
Traditionally, selling your home means you have to pack up and move out by closing day. This can create immense pressure, especially if you are building a new home, waiting for a job transfer, or simply need more time to find your next perfect place.
The Sell & Stay program (often called a sale-leaseback) removes that pressure. You sell your home to unlock your equity, but instead of moving out, you rent the home back for an agreed-upon period.
How It Protects You
Time
Move once. Take the time you need to find or build your next home without living in temporary housing.
Money
Get your cash at closing to use for your next down payment, investments, or debt payoff.
Flexibility
Lease terms can often be customized from a few weeks to several months based on your needs.
How Sell & Stay Works
A straightforward process designed to give you peace of mind and control over your move.
Valuation
We determine your home's value and review the potential sale price and leaseback terms.
Agreement
You agree to the sale price and sign a lease agreement defining your rent and move-out date.
Closing
The sale closes. You receive your equity, minus any agreed-upon fees or prepaid rent.
Stay
You stay in your home as a renter until your lease ends, then make one simple move.
Who is this right for?
