The Sell & Stay Option: Explained
Convert your home equity to cash by selling your house to Marketplace Homes and staying as a renter. Lease as long as you’d like and at any time, buy it back or request Marketplace Homes to sell through our designated sale-leaseback program.
Unlike other residential sale-leasebacks, Sell & Stay includes an option contract, which gives you the right to repurchase the home for a price agreed upon in the transaction.
Alternatively, you also have the right to direct Marketplace Homes to sell the house on the open market where you will receive the full sale value, minus the Marketplace Homes buyback price.

A Plan Built For You
After you sign up for the Sell & Stay program, we will front you 80% of your home’s appraised value. You become the renter and we own your home. Live in your home as a renter and enjoy a flexible housing timeline on your terms. We will then give you the remaining 20% after your sale-leaseback is over and we sell your home.
Flexible Solutions
Life can have unexpected twists and turns. If you change your mind at any point during your leaseback period, know that you have the option to buy back your home. You can also choose to stay the course and move out when your’e ready. At this time, Marketplace Homes will sell your home on the open market and give you the remaining 20% of your home’s appraised value.

Finances come in all shapes and sizes. Unlike lenders, Marketplace Homes can assist people a wider range of credit history and income types. Give us a call and let us know your situation and we can find the best options for you.

Working with Jon has really been a lot easier then I expected. My wife and I are both doing a 1 yr tour in Afghanistan and the Marketplace team has made sure to remedy any issues no matter what time we contacted them. True professionals that stick by their word.
