Dual Close
Listing-style upside with a cash-backed floor.
Summary
A Dual Close program allows a buyer to purchase your home today, providing you with a significant portion of your proceeds upfront — typically 75% to 85% of your estimated net proceeds.
This gives you the flexibility to move on your timeline without waiting for your home to sell on the open market.
After closing, your agent works alongside the buyer to create a marketing plan designed to maximize the home's value. Depending on the property's condition and market opportunity, this may include anything from professional cleaning and minor touch-ups to repairs, updates, and strategic improvements.
The buyer funds and manages the approved improvements while working closely with your agent throughout the process.
Once the home is prepared for market, it is listed for sale as a vacant, clean, and move-in-ready property — often creating a stronger buyer experience and increasing market appeal.
When the home sells, you receive your remaining proceeds along with your share of any additional value created through the resale process.
The Result: Get paid today, move on your timeline, and work with your agent and the buyer to maximize your home's value before it is resold on the open market.

2. Initial closing

Property is listed for resale to capture full market value.
4. Secondary closing
