Sellers
If your next home is not ready, but this sale is, a lease-back lets you sell at the right time and then rent your own home back from the new owners for a set period. This page explains how the arrangement works, what it protects, and where the fine print lives.
It is one of the most elegant solutions in real estate, and it is entirely negotiable, day by day.
Sell on your schedule, move on your timeline.
You sell the home on the open market and the purchase closes, then you and the buyer sign a lease allowing you to stay for an agreed period, typically 30 to 90 days, sometimes longer, at a rent agreed up front. The sale funds your next move while the lease back gives you time to execute it.
The lease-back is negotiated into the sale itself: the buyer who fell in love with the house also inherits the tenant terms. Some sales fall apart on this clause and others succeed because it is written well. That document is exactly where an experienced negotiator earns the fee, and I have run this arrangement repeatedly.
