- Instead of a reverse mortgage loan, you sell Homesafe a share of the future sale value of your home;
- Based on the share of the future value of your home you decide to sell, together with your age and the value of your home today, Homesafe determines the amount of cash it can provide to you today based on the future share you wish to sell;
- You receive a lump sum cash amount up front and Homesafe is therefore entitled to the agreed percentage of the future sale proceeds of your home, whenever that might be.
- If you sell earlier than anticipated, at the time of the sale of your home, Homesafe will calculate its share of the sale price based on the share you have sold and then calculates the Rebates available to you which would then be deducted from the Homesafe Share (thereby providing you more equity at settlement) as a result of the early sale.
Examples of Actual Homesafe Customer Contracts
The Homesafe Contract process:
Step 1TodayYou enter into a Homesafe Contract to sell a share of the future sale proceeds of your home. Homesafe is not entitled to anything more than this agreed share and will only receive its share when you sell your home, or when your home is sold after the death of the surviving party to the Homesafe Contract. |
Step 2ReleaseIn exchange for selling Homesafe an agreed share, you receive an upfront cash amount on entering into the Homesafe Contract. The cash you receive is less than the 'face value' of the share you sell to Homesafe due to the valuable entitlements you retain for life. |
Step 3FutureWhen your home is eventually sold, you or your estate will be entitled to the share of the sale proceeds not sold to Homesafe, and depending on when your home is sold and for what value, you may be entitled to an Early Sale Rebate. |
