Post-Occupancy After a Washington Home Sale
How sellers may receive proceeds and remain briefly under a written occupancy agreement.
Why it helps
Sale proceeds may be needed for deposits, movers, or the next residence.
Written terms
Move-out date, utilities, access, condition, insurance, and any holdback should be clearly documented.
Coordinate with escrow
Have the closing professionals review the occupancy arrangement before signing.
Plan ahead
Use the defined period to secure housing and complete the move.
