Get your client pre-qualified in 24 hours or less

Submit your client’s departing residence for approval. We’ll evaluate their property for the program and confirm how much equity they can unlock with no fee or commitment.

Make a competitive, non-contingent offer

Once pre-qualified, your client can start making stronger offers, with no home sale contingency.

Move into the new home

Your client closes on their new home using their equity unlock amount as their down payment. They can move in immediately and avoid paying for temporary housing — all while skipping the hassle of showing their home while living in it.

Sell their old home for full market value

List your client’s former home unoccupied and potentially staged to attract the strongest offers possible. After selling, your client will receive the remainder of their equity.
