How Buy Before You Sell Works
Get your client’s property approved

We’ll evaluate the current property for the program and let you know how much  equity we can unlock for your client.

Make a competitive offer

Once approved, your client will have access to a portion of their equity and be able to submit a competitive offer with no home sale contingency at any time.

Moving to the new home

Your client can move immediately to their new home, thus avoiding paying for temporary housing and skipping the hassle of showing their home while they still live there.

List the old home

Your client's agent will be ready to list the home unoccupied and potentially stage to attract the strongest offers possible. After selling your client will receive the remainder of their equity.

Questions? We have answers.

How do you determine how much equity I can unlock from my current home?

HomeLight can typically offer a loan of approximately 75% of the Combined Loan-to-Value (CLTV) of the departing residence. For example, if your client’s home is worth $1,000,000 and the mortgage balance is $500,000, they may be eligible for a loan up to $250,000 to put towards the down payment on their new home.

How much does the program cost for my clients?

It’s free to get started and see how much equity your client can unlock. If your client chooses to transact using the program, the fee is 2.4% of the final sale price of the current home. Minimums apply if the final sale price is less than $375,000. If you elect to use HomeLight Closing Services on the transaction, select fees may be waived.

How do you determine the Backup Offer?

HomeLight’s Backup Offer is determined by the Loan Payoff Value, which is the client’s outstanding mortgage balance combined with the Equity Unlock funds utilized by the borrower.

What is HomeLight’s Home Sale Guarantee?

If the client's current home isn't sold within 120 days of purchasing their new home, HomeLight will step in to buy it. The client will receive 100% of the net profits, less our program fee and any additional costs (taxes, insurance, etc.) incurred during HomeLight’s ownership, after it sells on the market.

Sounds too good to be true. What's the catch?

There is no catch! You are paying to use the program, but there are real savings and gains created from the program.
