Plain-English homeowner guide

How Sold & Stay Works

Start with your home, compare practical cash and stay-in-home options, and keep next steps organized in Homebase.

Start with the address, rough payoff, timing, property condition, and whether staying matters. Those facts shape whether a home equity investment estimate, listing, Quick Offer, or sale-and-stay terms deserve a closer look.

Nothing should be treated as final until price, payoff, closing costs, rent, lease length, repair duties, and any option to purchase terms are written clearly.

If the written numbers do not make staying safer, compare a local-agent listing, a faster as-is sale, or a way to use equity without selling before moving ahead.

If this guide matches the problem in front of you, put the payoff and decision date beside the cash need, monthly budget, and staying goal before making calls or sharing documents.

Then compare the next written step with one choice that keeps ownership and one choice that moves toward a sale. If neither one lowers the pressure without creating a new payment problem, pause before signing or sending private documents.

The written numbers should make the next choice easier: who owns the home, what payment continues, and what happens if staying does not fit.

A useful comparison has the payoff, deadline, monthly number, and backup housing plan in one place before anyone signs or applies.

Common questions

What happens after I share my address?

Sold & Stay uses the address to review property context, likely equity, payoff questions, and which practical next steps may fit. You should still review written terms before making a decision.

Do I have to sell my home to compare options?

No. The first step is comparing possibilities. A home equity investment, listing, cash sale, or sale-and-stay review may fit better depending on the home, payoff, deadline, and monthly budget.

What should I keep organized before deciding?

Keep payoff details, tax or repair issues, deadlines, title questions, rent budget, documents, and written offers together so you can compare the real numbers.
