Seller Advantage

Sell the House. We Handle the Property. You Receive the Payments.

Seller Advantage lets qualifying homeowners turn equity into a stream of monthly payments — without managing tenants, repairs or the day-to-day of holding property.

How it works

1

We agree on a purchase price and the portion you’ll finance.

2

You receive agreed payments and interest on the financed equity.

3

Real Deal handles the property — you have no landlord duties.

4

A future balloon payment pays out the remaining balance per the agreement.

Who it's for

Homeowners with equity who don’t need all their cash up front, want a potential income stream, and are comfortable financing part of the sale under documented terms.

Potential advantages

  • Potential monthly income from your equity
  • No landlord responsibilities — we handle the property
  • Interest on the financed portion
  • A defined exit through the balloon payment
  • May spread tax implications over time (consult your tax advisor)

Things to consider

  • You carry financing risk if payments aren't made
  • Not risk-free — outcomes aren't guaranteed
  • Requires careful documentation and professional review
  • Tied to Real Deal's performance under the agreement

The Process

How Seller Advantage Works, Step by Step

1

Define the Terms

We agree on price, the financed portion, payment amount, interest, and balloon timing.

2

Close the Sale

Ownership transfers per the agreement; you begin receiving payments.

3

We Handle the Property

Real Deal manages the home — no tenant, repair or management duties for you.

4

Receive the Balloon

At the agreed point, the remaining balance is paid out to you.

A hypothetical example

A retiree with a paid-off rental chooses Seller Advantage to stop managing tenants. They receive an agreed price plus monthly payments with interest, and a balloon in five years — turning equity into retirement income without landlord duties. This example is illustrative only; no payments, interest or outcomes are guaranteed.

FAQ

Seller Advantage Questions

What is Seller Advantage?
A program where Real Deal may purchase your property using flexible terms while you finance an agreed portion of the price, receiving payments over time.
It means instead of receiving all cash at closing, you finance part of the sale and receive payments — similar to how a bank holds a mortgage.
Ownership transfers per the signed agreement. You hold a financing interest secured by the property rather than title.
That’s addressed in your agreement. We’ll review any existing loan and how it’s handled before you sign.
Part is received at closing; the financed portion is paid out over time with interest, with a balloon for the remainder.
Yes, per the agreed schedule and amount in your documents.
Yes — the financed portion typically earns interest at the agreed rate. Actual payments depend on the agreement.
Through the balloon payment at the agreed time, or earlier if the property is sold or refinanced per the terms.
A lump-sum payment of the remaining financed balance due at a defined future date.
Your agreement specifies what happens — typically the remaining balance is paid out early. We review this with you.
You have rights under the agreement, which may include remedies against the property. This is a real risk we encourage you to review with an attorney.
Responsibilities are defined in your agreement and explained before signing.
No. Real Deal handles the property — you have no landlord duties.
If you don’t need all your equity today and want a potential income stream with interest, it can offer more over time than a single cash payment.
Through the agreed transaction structure. We explain our compensation before you commit.
Yes. Seller Advantage is not risk-free. Payments, appreciation, interest and tax outcomes are not guaranteed. Have legal, financial and tax professionals review any structured transaction.
