You're Selling A Home With Silas Lindenstein

9: What Is a Leaseback? (And When Sellers Should Use One)

Listen Later

If you’re selling your home but not quite ready to move out the day it closes… what do you do?

In this episode, I break down one of the most useful (and misunderstood) tools in real estate: the leaseback.

A leaseback allows you to sell your home and stay in it for a period of time after closing—giving you flexibility to buy your next home, get your affairs in order, or just reduce stress during the transition.

We’ll cover:

  •  What a leaseback actually is 
  •  How long you can stay after closing 
  •  Whether you have to pay rent (and when you don’t) 
  •  Why some buyers are hesitant—and what’s changed 
  •  The biggest risks and how to avoid them 
  •  How to use leasebacks as a negotiation tool 

    • If you want to make selling your home less stressful (and a little more strategic), this is an option you need to understand.
