How HouseAmp's HomeSale Loan Financing Program Works

Overview

HouseAmp connects homeowners with financing to fund pre-sale improvements or home upgrades without paying out of pocket upfront. Here is how the process works from application to closing.

The Process, Step by Step

Step 1 — Submit Your Application
Your real estate agent or mortgage loan officer will invite you to the HouseAmp platform, or you can apply directly. The application collects basic information about you and your property.
Step 2 — Risk Review and Approval
Your application is reviewed by HouseAmp's lending partner for credit and equity eligibility. You will receive a decision within a few business days. If approved, you will see the amount available to you.
Step 3 — Select Your Improvements
Work with your agent or contractor to decide which improvements you want to make. Common projects include painting, flooring, kitchen and bath updates, landscaping, and staging.
Step 4 — Contractor Payment
HouseAmp pays your approved contractors directly. Funds never pass through your hands. This protects you and ensures money is used for the approved work.
Step 5 — Complete Your Improvements
Your contractors complete the work. Your agent manages the project timeline alongside your listing preparation.
Step 6 — List and Sell
Your home goes on the market in move-in-ready condition. HouseAmp-improved homes have a median of 18 days on market.
Step 7 — Repayment at Closing
The financing is repaid from your sale proceeds at closing. There are no monthly payments, for 12 months, while your home is on the market.
