For a lot of homeowners, the idea of selling comes wrapped in mixed feelings. Maybe you want a little financial breathing room. Maybe you are tired of watching costs climb. Maybe you simply want to put your home to work toward other goals. None of that means you are ready to pack a single box. With reSpace, you do not have to choose between the money and the place you love.
Sell and Stay is a homeowner-friendly option that lets you access the value in your property while you keep living in it. It is a modern, flexible alternative for people who want to make the most of their home without giving up comfort, stability, or control.
A Smarter Way to Put Your Home to Work
Most homeowners do not realize how many options they actually have. Sell and Stay puts those options front and center.
Stay in your home
You remain in the space you love, inside the Seattle community you have built, without the financial strain that may have pushed you to think about selling in the first place. Whether that is a longtime block in Leschi or a house near the lake you would never want to leave, you stay put.
Keep an ownership interest
When you sell to reSpace, you hold on to a share of the value. Instead of walking away completely, you stay invested and continue to benefit as the home appreciates over time.
Access the value tied up in your home
Whether you need liquidity for retirement, relief from rising property taxes, or a way to fund the next chapter, Sell and Stay creates access to the capital your home has been quietly holding.
Make the most of your property's potential
Your home becomes part of a reSpace co-homeownership community. The property can be updated, reconfigured, or optimized to expand its value and appeal, and you do not carry the responsibility or the cost of that work.
Flexible Options That Meet You Where You Are
Every homeowner's situation is its own story, and Sell and Stay was built with that in mind. Some people want financial relief without disruption. Others want to stay rooted while they plan their next move. And some simply want a stake in the future value of their property without carrying the full weight of ownership.
This model creates options that did not exist before:
- Reduce or eliminate ongoing homeowner expenses
- Access your home's value without refinancing
- Stay in place while putting your property's value to work
- Take part in a mission-driven ownership model that expands access to homeownership in your community
Sell and Stay gives you more control, more flexibility, and more meaningful choices.
This model can be a strong fit if you are:
- A long-term homeowner with significant value built up in your property
- Feeling the pressure of rising taxes or maintenance costs
- Interested in staying in your home with less financial burden
- Looking to free up capital while keeping your stability intact
- Excited by the idea of opening new pathways to homeownership across Seattle
Sell and Stay is part of reSpace's mission to rethink how people access and build wealth through housing. It honors what homeowners have already built while opening doors for the next generation of buyers. It keeps community roots intact while creating new opportunities. You do not have to sell everything and leave. You can sell what makes sense, stay where you belong, and settle into a model designed for what comes next.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is Sell and Stay?
Sell and Stay is a reSpace option that lets you sell your home to reSpace while continuing to live in it. You access the value built up in your property and keep an ownership interest, so you benefit as the home appreciates. It is designed for Seattle homeowners who want financial flexibility without leaving the community they have built.
Do I have to move out of my home?
No. The entire point of Sell and Stay is that you remain in the place you love. You keep living in your home, in your neighborhood, without the financial strain that may have made selling feel like the only path. We built this model so you can put your home to work and still stay rooted where you belong.
How is co-homeownership different from a traditional sale?
In a traditional sale, you sell, you leave, and you walk away from any future value. With reSpace co-homeownership, your home joins a shared ownership community. You access capital now, you keep an ownership share, and reSpace handles updates and optimization. You stay invested and in place instead of starting over somewhere new.
What does reSpace handle once my home joins the community?
Once your home becomes part of a reSpace co-homeownership community, the property can be updated, reconfigured, or optimized to expand its value and appeal. You do not take on the responsibility or the cost of that work. We manage it, and you keep the comfort and stability of living in a home you know.
How do I find out if Sell and Stay fits my situation?
Submit your information through reSpace and we will prepare a customized option report for your property.
