Sell & stay:
sell now, stay put.
What if you could sell your home, lock in the proceeds, and still sleep in your own bed for a set time afterward? With a rent-back arrangement, that is exactly how it can work. Bill and Judy Nazaroff help Fresno-area sellers sell now and stay on a clear timeline.

What it is ★ A rent-back arrangement
The sale done first, the move on your terms
A rent-back works like this: you sell your home to a new owner who agrees to let you rent it back from them for a set period after closing. You collect your sale proceeds on closing day, then stay in the home as a tenant for the agreed time, with the terms written into the sale contract.
Rent-backs are common when a seller's next home is not ready yet, like a new build that is still finishing, or when the seller simply does not want to move twice. It removes the scariest part of selling: closing on the sale before you have anywhere to go.
Every rent-back is its own negotiation, and we are straight with you about what buyers in this market typically accept. The length of the stay, the rent amount, and the conditions all get agreed before you accept an offer, so you are never left hoping.
- Sellers moving into a new construction not yet finished
- Families who need the sale done before they can buy
- Sellers who want to stage and sell without moving out first
- Anyone who wants a clear move-out date, agreed in writing
How it works ★ Four clear steps
How a rent-back sale comes together
Clear terms, written down, agreed before you ever accept an offer.
Agree on the post-sale stay
You tell us how long you need to stay in the home after closing, and we help you understand what is reasonable to ask and how rent-back arrangements usually work in this market.
Build the terms into the sale
The rent-back becomes a written part of the offer: the length of the stay, the rent amount, and the conditions. You will see every term in plain language before anything is signed.
Close the sale, then stay put
The sale closes on schedule, and you stay in your home under the agreed terms, with your closing proceeds already secured. No scramble to find a short-term rental.
Move at the agreed time
When the stay ends, you move on your timeline, into the next chapter you planned. We coordinate the handoff so both sides know exactly what to expect.

Why The Nazaroff Team ★ Terms you can trust, written down
The details are the whole point
A rent-back only works if the terms are clear and enforceable. Bill and Judy have negotiated these arrangements many times: the length of the stay, the rent, the utilities, the condition of the home at handoff, and what happens if plans change. Every one of those details matters, and every one gets handled.
We will also be honest with you if a rent-back is unlikely to fly for your situation, and show you the alternatives. Either way, you get a straight answer and a plan that protects your timeline.
