How HomeLight Buy Before You Sell Works

1

Unlock equity from your home with ease

HomeLight will evaluate your property for the program and, if approved, let you know how much of your equity you can unlock for the purchase of your new home. If approved, you can use the equity unlock for the following:

  • The downpayment on your new property
  • Moving expenses
  • Closing expenses
  • Property repairs
2

Buy your dream home with confidence — and without a double move

You and Whissel Realty will be able to make a strong offer on your new home without a home sale contingency — and you can avoid moving twice.

FAQs

How do I get started with HomeLight Buy Before You Sell?

Let us know you're interested here. We'll be in touch to discuss your home buying goals.

What does it cost to use HomeLight Buy Before You Sell?

It’s free to get started and see how much equity you can unlock. If you decide to transact using the program, the fee is:

  • 2.4%* of the home sale if you choose to use an outside lender and closing company.
  • 1.7%* of the home sale if you use our lending and closing services.
How do you determine how much equity I can unlock from my current home?

The amount of equity you can unlock is determined using HomeLight’s proprietary algorithm, which takes into consideration the estimation of your home’s value, current market conditions, projected market risk, borrower financials, outstanding loans, and more. You’ll be able to unlock a portion of the overall equity you have in your home upfront, prior to selling the home — and will receive the remainder of your equity after the home sells, less program fees and expenses.

What if my current home doesn’t sell?

HomeLight partners with top agents nationwide to make buying and selling a home simpler, more certain, and satisfying for all. We work closely with Whissel Realty to sell your home. If your home does not sell within 90 days, HomeLight will buy it and work with Whissel Realty to list and sell it. You’ll receive any profit from the sale, after deducting HomeLight’s incurred costs.
