HomeLight releases home equity and provides a backup offer for buying before selling.
HomeLight Buy Before You Sell releases equity from the current home to support a down payment on the next one. Its backup offer helps remove a home sale contingency and can let lenders exclude the departing mortgage from qualification.
The homeowner moves first and sells the vacant old property with their agent. HomeLight collects repayment and the program fee from the sale proceeds, leaving the remaining equity to the seller.
