The five stages to selling
your home

A young couple smiling while looking at a laptop.
01

Submit your property

Submit your FREE Dwellr property assessment, with no obligations, and allow us to assess whether your property is suitable for Dwellr.

02

Property assessment & eligibility

If eligible, we outline the proposed structure, including rental terms and the agreed future sale price. The tenant will then be assessed to determine their eligibility.

Find your dream home.
Dwelling buys your dream home.
03

Agree the terms

Once terms are agreed by Dwellr and the landlord, the Dwellr process begins. The future sale price is set upfront, providing clarity and certainty while the tenant progresses towards ownership.

04

Receive ongoing rental income

The landlord continues to receive rental income throughout the lease. This reduces costs, with Dwellr managing the process and ongoing relationship.
