Selling your home doesn't always mean you're ready to move immediately. Whether you're downsizing, relocating, waiting for your next home, or simply need more time, coordinating the sale of your home with your move can be stressful.

Dominion Properties' Rent Back Program gives homeowners the flexibility to sell their house now while continuing to live in it after closing. You'll receive the financial benefits of selling your home without the pressure of moving out right away.

What Is a Rent Back Program?

A rent back program, sometimes called a sale-leaseback, allows a homeowner to sell their property while remaining in the home as a tenant for an agreed-upon period.

Instead of rushing to pack, find temporary housing, or coordinate multiple closings, you can stay in the home after the sale while planning your next move.

Dominion Properties created this program to provide homeowners with greater flexibility during major life transitions.

How Dominion's Rent Back Program Works

Our process is simple and designed around your needs.

Step 1: Sell Your Home for Cash

We purchase your home directly, eliminating many of the delays associated with a traditional home sale.

There are:

  • No repairs required

  • No open houses

  • No real estate commissions

  • No financing contingencies

  • No lengthy closing process

You'll receive a fair cash offer based on your home's condition and the local market.

Step 2: Stay in Your Home Rent-Free for the First Month

After closing, you don't have to move immediately.

As part of Dominion's Rent Back Program, you'll enjoy your first month in the home rent-free, giving you valuable time to prepare for your next chapter without additional pressure.

Step 3: Rent the Home Until You're Ready to Move

If you need more time, you can continue living in the home by paying fair market rent.

Whether you need a few extra weeks or several months, we'll work with you to create a transition plan that fits your situation.
