Builder CPO
Coordinate Your Home Sale With Your New Build — Sellers Get the Majority of Their Equity in 14 Days
See how Builder CPO helps homeowners coordinate the sale of their current home with the move into a newly built home. This Builder CPO video covers the current-home sale, the move into the new build, and how Builder CPO coordinates both sides of the move. With Builder CPO, sellers get the majority of their equity in 14 days.
Our Mission
Our mission is to take the uncertainty out of selling a home while building a new one. With Builder CPO, sellers get the majority of their equity in 14 days. When the builder expects the Certificate of Occupancy in about 14 days, Builder CPO unlocks their equity and coordinates their move, without living through showings, repairs, or the pressure of timing a traditional sale, while preserving the opportunity to achieve full market value.
How it works
Plan early. Talk with a Builder CPO Expert while your new home is being built. Discuss the home you need to sell, the builder's likely completion window, and your priorities for the move.
Get ready before the deadline. Review the property's condition, estimated value, available equity, and selling options. If Builder CPO is a fit, work through the expected costs and proposed terms ahead of time.
Press the unlock button. When the builder expects the Certificate of Occupancy in about 14 days, request activation of the agreed cash-out plan.
Connect the cash-out and the move. Your expert works with the builder, lender, and closing professionals to coordinate the existing-home plan with your new-home closing and possession.
Move without living through the resale. When your selected option allows you to move first, approved cleaning, repairs, improvements, showings, and marketing happen after you leave.
Receive remaining proceeds after resale. Additional proceeds are distributed under the agreement once the home is resold. Your expert helps explain the figures and next steps throughout.
Who This Helps
Builder CPO brings the current-home sale and the new-home purchase into one coordinated conversation.
Homeowners buying a new-construction home who also need to sell their current property.
Buyers whose equity, deposits, financing, or move depend on what happens with their existing home.
Builders and new-home sales teams working with buyers who have a home to sell.
Real estate professionals helping clients compare selling options and coordinate both transactions.
Families trying to reduce the disruption of temporary housing, repeated moves, or carrying two homes.
6 Key Advantages
Build your next home with a clearer plan for the one you own now. Builder CPO helps you explore access to equity, a move before resale, and coordinated home preparation so the sale of your current home does not have to hold up your new beginning.
Stop Guessing When to List
Plan ahead without committing your move to an uncertain construction date. As the builder gets closer to the expected CO, you have a clearer point at which to activate your selling plan.
Prepare the Home After You Move
Coordinate approved cleaning, repairs, and appropriate improvements once the home is vacant. Builder CPO options fund work upfront, with costs addressed under the program agreement.
Unlock Equity for Your Move
Builder CPO releases part of the equity in the current home before final resale, helping connect the sale to the purchase of the new build. With Builder CPO, sellers get the majority of their equity in 14 days.
Keep the Opportunity for Resale Upside
An initial cash-out can be followed by additional proceeds after resale, under the selected program.
Skip the Show-Ready Routine
When your plan allows you to move first, showings happen after you leave. Spend less time cleaning, arranging access, and taking the family and pets out for prospective buyers.
Connect Both Sides of the Move
Bring the builder, lender, real estate professionals, and closing team into a coordinated plan for completion, cash-out, possession, and moving day.
One Coordinated Plan for Both Homes
Builder CPO works alongside the professionals involved in the homeowner’s move, rather than expecting the homeowner to coordinate every moving part alone. That includes the current-home listing agent, the builder’s sales representative, lenders, inspectors, contractors, movers, and closing professionals.
Frequently asked questions (FAQs)
What is Builder CPO?
Builder CPO helps homeowners and the professionals involved coordinate the sale of a current home with the purchase of new construction. The aim is to make the options, timing, preparation, and responsibilities clearer before the move becomes urgent.
Is Builder CPO only a cash-offer program?
No. Available paths may include a traditional CPO listing and a Builder CPO cash-out option. The homeowner compares the terms and chooses the path that fits their circumstances.
Can you guarantee that both homes close on the same day?
No. Construction, inspections, lender requirements, market conditions, and other factors can change the schedule. Builder CPO helps create a coordinated plan and discuss alternatives when dates shift.
What happens if construction is delayed?
The plan should account for that possibility from the start. The homeowner and their professionals can review possession, moving dates, storage or temporary housing needs, and any contractual deadlines. The available choices depend on the agreements and the selected selling path.
Can we work with the builder or agent we already chose?
Yes. The conversation can begin with the builder, agents, lender, and other professionals already involved. Roles, representation, compensation, and any program requirements need to be agreed clearly.
Can we use equity from our current home before the final resale?
With Builder CPO, sellers get the majority of their equity in 14 days. The homeowner should review the complete written terms with the appropriate professionals.
How does Builder CPO help a builder's sales team?
It provides a structured way to discuss the buyer's current home, identify possible timing or equity issues, and involve the appropriate real estate professionals earlier. It does not replace the builder's contract, lender requirements, or the buyer's decision-making.
Who should contact Builder CPO?
Homeowners, builders, new-home sales teams, real estate professionals, and people interested in helping develop the program are welcome to start a conversation.
