How do I rent back my house after it's sold?

Most often when needing to stay in home after closing this is negotiated up front when accepting an offer preferably, though it can be done after with some negotiations. When an offer comes in you can let them know what is needed for time you would like to stay and depending on the buyers situation can sometimes rent back for a while or in competitive situations get a no charge rent back after closing.

This is something that your Realtor can guide you through. Usually it is a situation that you will negotiate with a potential buyer up front, prior to accepting an offer. Your realtor can also put a mention in the MLS stating the need for a lease back situation.
