Higher Profits with Lease Options
Discover the Financial and Flexibility Benefits of Lease Options
Turn Your Property Into a High-Yield Asset — Without Sacrificing Control or Price
Are you looking to get top dollar for your home, but the market isn’t cooperating?
Selling with a lease option may be the most profitable, flexible, and secure way to get the price you want — and more — while avoiding the headaches of traditional sales. Lease options offer a unique approach to selling your home, providing benefits that traditional sales can’t match. From potentially higher profits to greater control over the sales process, explore how lease options can be a game-changer for sellers looking for a more advantageous and flexible way to sell their property.
Why It’s More Profitable Than a Traditional Sale
1. You Can Sell at a Premium
Buyers who need time to qualify for a mortgage are often willing to:
Pay above-market rent
Accept a higher purchase price in exchange for flexibility
Commit to your price today to avoid rising home values tomorrow
You lock in your profit — while the home appreciates.
2. Earn Income While You Wait
Instead of letting your home sit vacant or chasing price cuts, a lease option lets you:
Collect monthly rent
Receive a 1–5% option fee (often thousands up front)
Reduce holding costs while building toward a profitable exit
You profit now and later.
3. Avoid Agent Commissions & Closing Hassles
When you work directly with a lease option buyer, you:
Save 6% in realtor commissions
Avoid multiple showings, negotiations, and inspections
Streamline the process with a buyer already living in the home
That’s thousands more in your pocket.
4. You Keep the Option Fee if They Don’t Buy
If your buyer decides not to purchase?
You keep the non-refundable option fee
You can re-list or offer the opportunity to another qualified buyer
You keep all rent paid
You never lose — you just restart the cycle.
