If you’re selling your home but not quite ready to move out the day it closes… what do you do?
In this episode, I break down one of the most useful (and misunderstood) tools in real estate: the leaseback.
A leaseback allows you to sell your home and stay in it for a period of time after closing—giving you flexibility to buy your next home, get your affairs in order, or just reduce stress during the transition.
We’ll cover:
- What a leaseback actually is
- How long you can stay after closing
- Whether you have to pay rent (and when you don’t)
- Why some buyers are hesitant—and what’s changed
- The biggest risks and how to avoid them
- How to use leasebacks as a negotiation tool
If you want to make selling your home less stressful (and a little more strategic), this is an option you need to understand.
