Dee’s Story: How She Leveraged a Sale-Leaseback for a Stress-Free Transition to Her Dream Home

Meet Dee

Dee, a full-time worker and mother of two kids in their early 20s, enjoys a cozy life in her St. Louis condo, along with her boyfriend and two little chihuahua mixes. "We enjoy hanging out with our 2 little dogs and traveling whenever we can," she shares.

With an eye on the rising home values and aspirations to move, Dee was drawn to the sale-leaseback option. "I wanted to take advantage of the seller’s market as well as wanting to eventually move out of a condo and into a house," Dee explains.

Flexible Home Selling

Recognizing the robust market conditions, Dee found the sale-leaseback to be an ideal solution to access equity to build your dream home. "I can take my time and really look around to find something I want," she said. It offered her a way to sell her home at its peak market value without the immediate pressure to relocate.

Dee had considered other options but found Sale-Leaseback to be the most convenient and stress free. "With the sale-leaseback, we didn’t have to worry about 'move out' timeframes or having to stay somewhere temporarily while we waited for our next home to come to fruition. No double moves!!"

A Comfortable and Informed Decision

Initially, Dee had reservations, particularly about the complexities of the transaction.

"The people I worked with were very upfront, transparent, and patient. They answered all my questions, and I had a lot!"

Reflecting on the process, Dee found it to be swift and supportive. "It was a quick process overall, and I had immediate help for any questions or concerns that came up," she recalls. "They made me feel comfortable with my final decision."

The Freedom and Joy of a Well-Timed Move

With the sale-leaseback completed, Dee experienced a sense of freedom and relief. “The lease allows for flexibility in moving, and I can choose when!”

She was no longer under pressure to quickly find a new home, providing her the leisure to search for a place that truly resonated with her and her family's needs. "I’m looking forward to being able to buy a new home without the 'contingency' of selling one first," she shared, highlighting the peace of mind and the sale-leaseback offers.
