How HomeLight Trade-In® works

Get HomeLight's purchase price

HomeLight will make an offer on your current home. That's the price HomeLight will pay for your current home as soon as you're ready to move into your new home.

Make a strong offer on your new home

When you and Chris and The Rael Group have found the home of your dreams, you’ll be ready to make an offer with no lending or home sale contingency. This means you’re more likely to close and can do so on your own timeline.

Move in on your schedule

Once your offer is accepted, everything comes together in days, not months. HomeLight buys your home at the purchase price so you get the cash to close on your dream home and control when you move.

Get full market value when HomeLight sells your home

Chris and The Rael Group will prep and list your previous home, so you can get the most value. If the home sells for more than the price HomeLight paid for it, HomeLight will give you the additional cash minus selling costs and program fees. Homes sold through Trade-In sell for 5% more than traditionally listed homes.*
