Sell & Stay Program: How to Sell Your Home Without Having to Move

At Jennifer Young Homes, we know that selling your home isn’t always about getting the highest price in the shortest amount of time. Sometimes, it’s about flexibility. That’s why we created our Sell & Stay Program — a unique option that allows homeowners to sell their property while continuing to live in it for months, even up to a year, after the sale.

If you’ve ever thought, “I’d like to sell my home, but I’m not ready to move,” this program might be the perfect solution for you.


What Is the Sell & Stay Program?

Our Sell & Stay Program is designed for homeowners who want to unlock their home’s equity without the immediate stress of moving. Unlike a traditional sale, where closing happens within 30 days and the seller usually moves out right away, this program lets you remain in your home for an extended period after selling.

We recently helped a family in Fairfax do exactly this. They sold their home as-is—no showings, no repairs, no renovations—and still got a fair price from an investor buyer. The best part? They secured the right to stay in their home for at least six months after closing.


How the Program Works

To qualify for our Sell & Stay option, there are a few key requirements and steps:

1. Your Home Must Have Equity

Buyers are willing to work with unique terms (such as a post-sale stay) when the home offers strong value. Equity ensures both sides get a fair deal.

2. Tailored Selling Approach

In the Fairfax case, the seller wanted:

  • A specific price range

  • An as-is sale (no repairs or renovations)

  • No showings

  • The ability to stay for at least six months

Our team leveraged our large buyer database and investor network, generating multiple offers with minimal disruption.

3. Transparent Decisions

We’re always upfront with our sellers: selling with these terms may mean accepting slightly below market value, since the home won’t have full exposure. But for many homeowners, avoiding showings, repairs, and the stress of moving is worth it.


Benefits of the Sell & Stay Program

Choosing this option offers unique advantages:

  • Immediate cash-out of your home’s equity

  • Flexibility to stay in your home for months after closing

  • No repairs or updates needed — sell “as-is”

  • Minimal disruptions — sometimes just a single showing

  • Confidential and pressure-free process


Is Sell & Stay Right for You?

This program is ideal if you:

  • Need access to your home’s equity but aren’t ready to move

  • Prefer not to deal with staging, showings, or renovations

  • Want the certainty of a sale with the flexibility to stay put

At Jennifer Young Homes, we tailor each sale to our clients’ needs. Whether maximizing price or maximizing convenience is your priority, we’ll guide you every step of the way.
