Sell Your Home. Keep Living In It. Move When You're Ready.
Our Sell & Stay program lets Philadelphia Metro seniors sell their home at full market value and remain in the home as a renter — for weeks or months — while arrangements for the next chapter are finalized. No rushed move. No double-move stress.
How Does the Sell & Stay Program Work for Seniors?
Sell & Stay is a structured program where you sell your home to a vetted buyer at full market value — capturing your equity now — then sign a short-term lease agreement that allows you to remain in the home as a renter for a defined period. You get the financial proceeds of the sale immediately while gaining the time you need to make your next move on your own schedule.
Get Your Home Valued
We assess your home's current market value so you know exactly what you'll receive.
Accept the Right Offer
We market your home and negotiate the best price with a buyer who agrees to the Sell & Stay lease terms.
Close & Access Your Equity
You close on the sale and receive your proceeds — available immediately for senior living deposits, care costs, or family needs.
Stay as a Renter
You remain in your home under a short-term lease agreement while your next step is arranged.
Move on Your Timeline
When your senior living community, family arrangement, or next home is ready, you move — without any rush.
Who Is the Sell & Stay Program Designed For?
- Seniors who need to access home equity to fund senior living or care costs
- Families who need time to arrange senior living placement without rushing
- Seniors waiting for a spot in their preferred senior living community
- Homeowners who want to sell now but aren't ready to physically move
- Families coordinating a move from out of state who need extra time locally
- Seniors who want to avoid the stress of a rushed, double-move transition
What Are the Benefits of Sell & Stay for Philadelphia Metro Seniors?
Access Equity Immediately
Receive full sale proceeds at closing — use it for senior living deposits, care costs, or family needs right away.
No Rushed Move
Move on your own timeline, not the market's. Stay in the home you know and love while arrangements are finalized.
Full Market Value
You are not accepting a discounted cash offer. Sell & Stay is a full open-market sale with a leaseback agreement — you receive the full market value of your home.
Reduced Stress
Eliminating the timing pressure of a simultaneous sell-and-move is one of the most significant stress reducers for seniors and their families.
Frequently Asked Questions About Sell & Stay for Seniors
How long can a senior stay in the home after selling?
The leaseback period is negotiated as part of the sale contract. Typical Sell & Stay periods range from 30 to 90 days, though longer arrangements can be negotiated depending on the buyer's flexibility and the family's timeline needs.
Does Sell & Stay mean I get less than full market value?
No. Sell & Stay is a full open-market sale. You receive the negotiated market value of your home at closing. The leaseback is a separate agreement — the sale price itself is not discounted.
How much rent does the senior pay during the Sell & Stay period?
The monthly rental amount during the Sell & Stay period is negotiated as part of the sale contract. It is typically based on the fair market rental rate for the home.
What happens if the senior can't move out by the end of the lease?
We build flexibility protections into the contract and work closely with both parties to ensure the timeline is realistic before the sale closes. We recommend building buffer time into the leaseback period so the senior is never rushed at the end.
Can Sell & Stay be combined with other programs?
Yes. Sell & Stay pairs well with our Fix & List program (if the home needs updates to achieve full market value) and our Partner Network (for estate cleanout, senior move management, and senior living placement).
Is Sell & Stay available throughout Philadelphia Metro?
Yes. We facilitate Sell & Stay transactions across Philadelphia, Bucks, Montgomery, Delaware, and Chester Counties.
