Sell Your Home. Unlock Your Equity. Stay Right Where You Are.
Love your home but ready to put your equity to work? Compadre's Sell & Stay options may allow you to sell your property, receive your net sale proceeds, and remain in the home as a renter under a negotiated lease.
No immediate move. No need to purchase another property first. Just more choices for your next chapter.
You Can Sell Your House Without Immediately Saying Goodbye to Your Home.
A traditional home sale typically means packing, moving, and handing over the keys. But what if you want to access your home equity without immediately changing your address?
A residential sale-leaseback is a transaction in which an investor purchases your property and simultaneously enters into a rental agreement allowing you to remain in the home. You receive your net sale proceeds at closing, and the investor becomes your landlord.
Your occupancy, rent, security deposit, renewal rights, and other terms are established by the lease agreement. This is a sale—not a refinance, reverse mortgage, or home equity loan.
Unlock Your Equity
Convert home equity into available cash without taking out another mortgage.
Stay in Familiar Surroundings
Continue enjoying your home and neighborhood under an agreed rental arrangement.
Move on Your Timeline
Explore negotiated rental periods that may provide months or potentially years of occupancy.
Simplify Your Next Chapter
Reduce the pressure to coordinate a home sale with an immediate move or purchase.
Program eligibility, purchase price, occupancy period, rent, and other terms vary. A sale transfers ownership to the investor. Continued occupancy is governed by the signed lease.
Two Ways to Sell and Stay
Option A
Sell Now. Move Later.
Access Your Equity Without Rushing Your Move.
Designed for homeowners who have decided to sell but need additional time before moving. A negotiated short-term rental period may provide time to complete your next move.
Potential applications:
- •Buying another property
- •Waiting for new construction to be completed
- •Planning a retirement relocation
- •Coordinating a downsizing move
- •Preparing for a major life transition
Option B
Sell Now. Stay Longer.
Turn Home Equity Into Financial Flexibility While Remaining at Home.
A longer-term sale-leaseback may be appropriate for homeowners who want to convert equity into cash but prefer to continue renting their current residence. Some investor programs advertise rental arrangements of one to five years, subject to property qualification, investor approval, and final contract terms.
Potential applications:
- •Retirement financial planning
- •Accessing equity without another loan
- •Eliminating an existing mortgage through a sale
- •Remaining near familiar friends, services, and activities
- •Delaying a permanent relocation decision
Both options route to a private seller consultation with Rory.
How Does Sell & Stay Work?
Tell Us About Your Property
Start with a conversation about your home, estimated equity, financial objectives, and preferred occupancy period.
Evaluate Your Options
Compadre analyzes your property's market position and explores whether a sale-leaseback or another selling strategy better serves your goals.
Review Investor Opportunities
For eligible homes, Compadre can help evaluate available investor purchase opportunities through participating providers. Where available, competing investor proposals can be compared.
Review the Sale and Lease Together
Evaluate the proposed purchase price, fees, net proceeds, rental payments, deposits, occupancy rights, and renewal terms before deciding whether to proceed.
Close the Sale. Continue Living at Home.
If both the sale and lease are approved and executed, the sale closes, you receive the net proceeds, and you remain as a tenant under the agreed lease.
Important: The lease and purchase agreement must be reviewed together before the seller commits to the transaction.
Selling to an Investor Is One Option. Getting the Best Outcome Is the Goal.
An investor offer may provide convenience and flexible occupancy, but it may also be lower than the price achievable through conventional market exposure. At Compadre, we believe informed sellers make better decisions.
Our approach is built around three fundamentals: Preparation. Pricing. Promotion. We help homeowners evaluate how their property could perform through different selling strategies, rather than assuming the first investor offer is the best answer.
| Traditional Market Sale | Short-Term Sell & Stay | Longer-Term Sell & Stay |
|---|---|---|
Market-based pricing strategy | Negotiated investor offer | Negotiated investor offer |
Broad buyer exposure and potential competition | Agreed temporary rental period | Extended rental period where available |
Standard selling expenses | Selling expenses and program fees may apply | Ongoing rent obligation |
Usually requires moving at closing unless occupancy is negotiated | Seller becomes a tenant | Seller relinquishes ownership and future appreciation |
Potential for greater net proceeds | Less immediate moving pressure | Occupancy protection depends on the lease and applicable law |

Compadre evaluates the complete financial picture, including sale price, transaction costs, net proceeds, rent, lease terms, and alternatives. Sell & Stay is not necessarily the highest-net-proceeds solution.
We're Not Here to Sell You One Program. We're Here to Help You Make the Right Decision.
Most companies offering sale-leasebacks specialize in one type of transaction. Compadre takes a broader approach. As a real estate brokerage with extensive mortgage and real estate experience, we help sellers explore alternatives before committing to a transaction.

Your Next Chapter Doesn't Have to Start With a Moving Truck.
For many North County homeowners, deciding what to do with a long-owned home is about far more than real estate. It's about comfort, independence, timing, finances, and lifestyle.
Sometimes moving is the right decision. Sometimes having additional time changes everything. And sometimes unlocking equity while remaining in a familiar home is an option worth exploring.
Compadre's Next Chapter resources help homeowners evaluate the practical side of these decisions, including downsizing, moving assistance, housing alternatives, and transition planning.
