A home buying service that releases existing home equity and guarantees a backup sale so homeowners can move first.
Homeward Buy before you sell helps homeowners purchase their next home before completing the sale of their current one. The service provides a guaranteed offer on the existing home and access to equity for paying off its mortgage or funding the next home's down payment.
The homeowner works with a real estate agent to sell the old property on the market after moving. Homeward buys the old home if it does not sell within 180 days. Equity access and the backup offer are parts of this coordinated transaction service.
