What does this cost compared to a normal sale?

There's a program cost for the convenience of buying first. I'll lay out the exact numbers next to a traditional sale so you can compare apples to apples before deciding.

What if my old home takes longer to sell?

We price and stage it to sell, and because it's vacant it shows better. If the market is slow, a guaranteed cash-offer backstop means you're never left carrying two homes indefinitely.

Do I have to use a specific lender?

No — we'll work with your lender or recommend trusted local options. The goal is the cleanest path for your situation.

Selling Option

Buy Your Next Home Before You Sell This One

Make a strong, non-contingent offer on your next home, move on your timeline, then sell this one empty — staged to bring top dollar.

Is this right for you?

The honest fit

Best for

Move-up sellers who can't buy and sell at the same time
You want to skip double moves and rent-backs
You don't want a sale-contingent offer that loses in a multiple-offer fight

Maybe not if…

You have the cash and timing flexibility to buy first on your own — a straight sale can net more without program costs

The process

How it works

01
We unlock your usable equity and approve a buying budget — usually within about a day, with no obligation.
02
You make a non-contingent offer on your next home and move in.
03
We list your old home vacant — it shows and photographs better — and get you the strongest offer. You keep the remaining equity.
