Your funding request has been conditionally approved through the Bridge2Sell program. Here's exactly how it works, what you receive, and how you keep control of your home's value.
You access your equity now, stay in your home, and hold a locked-in option to refinance or sell, with any upside remaining yours.
For the security of both parties, the deed to the property at 66 Castle Point, Athens, NY 12015 is held in a trust that exists solely for this transaction and dissolves upon refinance or sale. Your existing underlying mortgage remains in place. You and Bridge2Sell are the trust's beneficiaries: you keep equitable title and the right to live in your home, and Bridge2Sell holds a beneficial interest equal to the refinance amount.
The Trust issues you a lease agreement that grants you full possession for up to 18 months. Your lease payments are prepaid and built into the transaction, with nothing new out of pocket each month. Months 1 to 12 are one fixed price, with no proration inside that first year. If you refinance or sell within the first 12 months, your 6 prepaid lease payments for Months 13 to 18 ($5,418.70) are credited back toward your option price. Only during the extension, Months 13 to 18, are fees and payments prorated to your sale date.
A binding Option Agreement locks in your price. At any point in the term you can refinance your home and pay off the Trust at the locked-in option price, or sell it to a third party. If you sell, you receive the net proceeds above the option price. Either way, the property is sold no later than 18 months.
This transaction will be completed subject-to your underlying mortgage remaining in place. You will be responsible for all mortgage payments, property taxes, and insurance on the property. You must provide proof of mortgage payments being made to the Trustee on a monthly basis. In the event you fall behind three (3) or more mortgage payments, the Trustee shall be directed to liquidate the property to protect the interests of all parties.
If the collateral must be liquidated to satisfy the terms, Bridge2Sell and/or its affiliates are entitled only to the amount agreed upon. Any equity above the refinance amount belongs to you. Any appreciation in the value of the property also belongs to you.
THIS IS NOT A PERSONAL LOAN, MORTGAGE, LAND CONTRACT OR OTHERWISE. YOU SHOULD CONSULT WITH AN ATTORNEY TO UNDERSTAND YOUR RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS UNDER THE CONTEMPLATED TRANSACTION. YOU MAY ALSO WISH TO CONSULT WITH A FINANCIAL, TAX, OR REAL ESTATE PROFESSIONAL PRIOR TO SIGNING THIS PROPOSAL OR THE PURCHASE AND SALE AGREEMENT.

All terms in this proposal are estimated and subject to change based on market pricing of title services and closing costs. On a Subject-To transaction, property taxes and insurance remain your responsibility; where they are not escrowed by your existing mortgage, they are funded at closing as shown on your Settlement Statement.
Seller has the option to renew the Lease Agreement and the Repayment Fee Option Agreement for an additional six (6) months, for a total term of up to eighteen (18) months. Fees charged in the first twelve (12) months are prorated on a month-to-month basis during the extension until the time of sale. All fees related to the Option Agreement are deferred and paid upon exercising the Option Agreement at closing, by purchase or sale of the property.
In the event the property is liquidated due to a default, the client agrees to a 2% fee based on the final sale price. This fee will be deducted from the proceeds of the sale.
The Settlement Statement (ALTA or HUD) prepared by the title company or closing attorney reflects the final figures. It is your responsibility to review it carefully to ensure all charges, credits, and terms are accurate. If you disagree with any amount, contact your sales representative before signing any closing documents. By proceeding to closing, you acknowledge you had the opportunity to review the Settlement Statement and agree with the final terms.
During the review period and prior to closing, you agree to grant Bridge2Sell (or a designated third party) access for inspections and interior/exterior photographs, to ensure accuracy and facilitate closing. After you submit this information, we send a purchase agreement; once signed, title work begins. Funding typically occurs within 30-45 days and can close in as few as 14 days depending on title work. This is an arms-length transaction; if both parties do not agree to the final terms, neither is obligated to proceed.
I/We, the undersigned, hereby agree to the terms and conditions of this preliminary conditional proposal as set forth herein. I/We have the authority to sign this Proposal on behalf of the related entities.
