Financial Benefits of Selling While Staying
Need Cash From Your Home Without Moving Out? Let’s talk about the money you could save and access with Family First House Buyer!
Immediate Access to Equity
Let’s look at real numbers. Say your home is worth CAD 348,340.05 with a mortgage of CAD 209,004.03. That means you have CAD 139,336.02 in equity just sitting there!
Want to know something interesting? Banks only let you borrow up to 80% of your home’s value. But with our sale-leaseback program, you get access to ALL your equity without paying:
- NO appraisal fees
- NO title search fees
- NO title insurance fees
- NO legal fees
No Realtor Commissions
Here’s a shocking fact – traditional real estate deals charge a 5.46% commission split between agents! On a CAD 348,340.05 home, you’d lose CAD 10,450.20 just in listing agent fees.
Even with legal costs running CAD 209.00 to CAD 696.68 per hour, you’ll save thousands working with us instead of traditional agents. That’s real money staying in YOUR pocket!
Reduced Moving Costs
Think about this – you get cash from your home’s value while keeping your keys! No moving trucks, no packing boxes, no change of address hassles.
You’ll love these extra savings:
- Tax benefits from rental payments
- Better debt-to-equity ratio
- NO traditional financing costs
Living in Alberta? You know our economy has its ups and downs. That’s why our program makes sense – you get financial freedom while staying right where you are!
