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.
