Sell and Rent Back: A new Wrinkle in Selling Homes
Leave it jolly Old England to come with a nifty way to sell and rent back your own home. This is something that bears consideration when it comes to people who are looking at a move because they are endanger of losing their homes. The program has caught on rather quickly in several other countries including the United States and there are more companies added to their ranks monthly. The program is really straight forward in its approach and there are not any surprises lurking in the shadows as every step of the entire process is explained and actually it gets explained a couple of times to each seller. Let’s say someone is interested in selling their home.
They would get in touch with a company which offers this service and that starts the process. At this point they do not even send out anyone to evaluate the home. They just get the information, run a few figures and the wheels are turning. The sell and rent back programs offer some of the quickest closure times at 2-4 weeks. And once the process is placed in the system the homeowner is assured of a non-complicated transfer of her property.
The special Part B to this plan is in the rent back feature. A homeowner who sells to these sell and rent back companies has the comfort of knowing that they will not have to leave the house upon closure of the sale. The company takes great pride in making a satisfactory agreement with every customer when it comes to their becoming the tenant. The customer is allowed to choose either a long term agreement or a short term agreement. And then they and the company decide upon a mutually satisfactory rate of rent. The figure for this rate is based upon nearby homes in the same area that are similar. However the rent rate quoted to the former owner is lower than these rental rates. That is another part of the deal. The tenant/former owner is even allowed to choose to stay on as a tenant after this original agreement is concluded. At this point, the company can not guarantee how long the length of stay can be. The companies state that they are quite excited at the opportunity to purchase homes with very good tenants already in residence. In their opinion this makes it a win-win situation for all parties concerned.
The sell and rent back companies are aware that there are many people that might benefit from their services and they are willing to try and work with any homeowner no matter what circumstances they might find themselves in. They have worked in the past with people who are facing foreclosures or other monetary hardships. They will work with the older population and those who may be going through divorce. The company is hopeful that its trouble free buying program and rental program will offer help and hope to many homeowners. There are numerous sell and rent back programs in the marketplace and their numbers are continuing to grow. There are many options, to be sure, when it comes to selling one’s home, but this is one to check out.
