Smart Bonus Offer™
A Cash Offer. With Potential Upside.
Sell your home for cash now, with an opportunity to receive an additional payment after the buyer improves and resells it. Get an upfront payment at closing and participate in potential upside under agreed terms.
How it works
Cash Now. Potential Bonus Later.
It works in two stages: you sell for an agreed upfront payment now, and you may receive a second payment after the buyer resells the property.
Review Your Cash Offer
We help you evaluate the upfront offer and the written terms for your potential bonus, so you understand both parts before deciding.
Sell and Receive Your Upfront Payment
Complete the first sale and receive your agreed payment at closing. You do not have to wait for the buyer’s resale to access those proceeds.
The Buyer Prepares and Resells the Home
The buyer may make improvements and market the property for resale.
Receive Any Bonus Due Under Your Agreement
After the resale closes, your potential second payment is calculated according to the agreed share of the upside and the written terms.

Who it may fit
Could This Be Your Best Option?
Smart Bonus Offer™ may fit homeowners who want the convenience of a cash sale while keeping an opportunity to participate in additional value created through the buyer’s resale. We help you compare the numbers, timing, and tradeoffs with your other options.
Your upfront payment and potential bonus serve different purposes. Before you commit, we walk through the offer, how the upside is calculated, which costs affect that calculation, and when a second payment would be due. Additional proceeds depend on the resale results and are not guaranteed.

Common questions
Frequently asked questions
Is this a cash offer?
Yes. The first transaction is a sale to a cash buyer, with an agreed upfront payment at closing. The potential bonus is a separate payment tied to the buyer’s later resale.
Do I have to wait for the resale to get paid?
No. You receive your agreed upfront payment at the first closing. Any additional payment follows the resale and the written agreement.
Is the bonus guaranteed?
No. A second payment depends on the resale results and the calculation and terms in your agreement.
How is my bonus calculated?
It is based on the agreed share of the resale upside, using the calculation and applicable costs defined in your written agreement. We explain those terms before you decide.
Who handles the improvements and resale?
The buyer handles any improvements and the resale after purchasing your home.
How is this different from a standard cash offer?
A standard cash offer generally provides one payout at closing. Smart Bonus Offer™ adds an opportunity for a second payment based on agreed resale upside.
