How It Works

Extended Escrow turns your property into a high-performing asset while preparing it for sale—all without giving up control. Here’s how the process works, step-by-step:

1

List with Us

You list your home with Extended Escrow to be offered on lease option terms. We’ll help you determine a competitive option fee (typically 1–3% of the property value), set an above-market rent rate, and establish the lease term—typically 36 months.

2

Find Qualified Tenant-Buyers

We market your property and screen applicants thoroughly. Each tenant-buyer is vetted for income, credit potential, and motivation to own. We ensure the person moving into your home is committed to purchasing it.

3

Get Paid Upfront

The tenant-buyer pays you an upfront, non-refundable option fee, securing the right to purchase the home in the future. A portion of this fee may also be paid to the listing agent who represents the property for our program.

4

Receive Monthly Rental Income

You collect above-market rent from a resident who treats the property like a future homeowner. This improves cash flow and reduces vacancy and turnover.

5

We Manage Everything

We manage the lease term and monitor the buyer’s journey toward mortgage approval. This includes working with credit coaches, loan officers, and local agents to support timely financing.

6

Tenant Buys the Home

When the buyer is mortgage-ready, they purchase the property at the pre-agreed price. You receive full proceeds at closing, minus applicable sales commission.

7

If Tenant Doesn’t Buy

If the buyer does not close by the end of the lease, you may extend the lease option for another 12, 24, or 36 months with a new option fee, or move on with another strategy. The original option fee and rent credits are non-refundable.
