Transaction Structures
A straight cash sale is only one option. Depending on the property and your goals, a transaction can be structured in several different ways. Here are the approaches we work with, explained in plain English.
Not every option is available for every property. The structures below are examples of how a transaction can be arranged. Which ones may apply depends on the property, your goals, financing, title, market conditions, due diligence, and other transaction factors. We review each property individually and only suggest what genuinely fits.
The most straightforward path. We purchase the property directly, which can remove the listing process, showings, and repair negotiations. It tends to appeal to owners who value simplicity and a predictable timeline.
Best when speed and simplicity matterNot every owner is ready to close right away, and some need to move quickly. Where possible, we work around your schedule, whether that means closing soon or giving you extra time to plan your next step.
Built around your scheduleYou do not need to repair, clean out, or stage the property. We consider homes in their current condition, including those that need major work, so you can avoid spending money on a property you are ready to sell.
No repairs or clean-out requiredIn some situations, an owner prefers to receive payments over time rather than a single lump sum. With seller financing, the owner effectively acts as the lender, which can offer flexibility around timing and how proceeds are received. Whether this fits depends on the property and your goals, and you should review any structure with your own tax and legal advisors.
Payments over time, when it fitsIn a subject-to arrangement, a property is acquired while its existing financing stays in place. This can be relevant in specific situations, but it involves important considerations for all parties and is not appropriate for every property. We explain the details clearly and encourage independent advice before proceeding.
Existing financing stays in placeA novation replaces or restructures the terms of an existing agreement with the consent of the parties involved. In real estate, this approach can help improve a property before a sale under a defined agreement. It is a more specialized structure that only applies in certain circumstances.
A restructured agreement, in select casesAn option gives a defined period to move toward a purchase under agreed terms. This can create flexibility for an owner who wants to keep possibilities open while a plan comes together. As with every structure here, whether it fits depends on the property and situation.
Flexibility with defined termsSome properties are best suited for improvement, redevelopment, or a new use rather than a simple resale. For owners of infill lots, tear-down candidates, or under-used sites, we evaluate whether a development-oriented approach makes sense.
For sites with upsideOccasionally, neighboring parcels are worth more together than apart. If your property sits next to others that could be combined, an assemblage approach may open up options that a single-lot sale would not.
When adjacent parcels add valueNot every situation fits a standard template. When a property or an owner's goals call for something tailored, we work to design a structure that addresses the specifics, always explained clearly and reviewed with the appropriate professionals.
Tailored to the specifics
Plain English, No Pressure
You do not need to know any of these terms in advance. That is our job. After we review your property, we explain the options that realistically apply, what each one means for you, and the tradeoffs involved, so you can make an informed choice.
That is exactly what we are here for. Tell us about the property and we will point you to the approaches worth considering.
