Every situation is different
When a traditional sale does not solve the problem.
Explore whether a subject-to arrangement may be appropriate for the circumstances you are facing.
↘
Upside Down on Your Mortgage?
If the mortgage balance exceeds the estimated home value, a conventional sale may require cash at closing. A subject-to arrangement may be worth evaluating, but does not eliminate the loan or negative equity.
✈
H-1B Visa or Employment Changes?
Job changes, immigration-related uncertainty, or urgent relocation may create housing deadlines. We can discuss property options without requesting immigration documents or making immigration claims.
◷
Facing Mortgage Difficulties?
An overdue mortgage or approaching foreclosure date can be stressful. We can review whether a negotiated sale is viable, but cannot promise to stop a foreclosure.
⌂
Need a More Flexible Sale?
Unexpected moves, property conditions, and personal priorities may call for a creative transaction rather than the usual listing process.
The basics
What is a subject-to sale?
In a subject-to transaction, ownership transfers to a purchaser while the existing mortgage generally remains in the seller’s name. The purchaser agrees to make payments under the transaction documents, but the seller generally remains liable to the lender, which may enforce a due-on-sale clause.

Potential advantages
More than one way to move forward.
Before foreclosure
A subject-to transaction might be one option to explore before foreclosure, depending on timing, loan status, and negotiations.
Credit considerations
Continued timely payments could prevent additional late-payment reports, but the seller generally remains liable and exposed to payment default.
Flexible arrangements
Terms regarding closing timing, certain costs, arrears, and consideration can sometimes be negotiated. No benefit is guaranteed.
✓ Address mortgage arrears (when negotiated)
✓ Potential coverage of certain closing costs
✓ Possible negotiated cash consideration
✓ Flexible closing and relocation arrangements
Risks matter: A subject-to sale does not automatically release the seller from the mortgage. Missed payments may cause credit damage or foreclosure, and lenders may enforce due-on-sale rights. Obtain independent legal guidance.
