Post-Occupancy After a Southern California Home Sale
How a written agreement may let you receive funds and remain briefly while moving.
Why sellers use it
Proceeds may be needed for a new lease, moving company, deposit, or next home.

The agreement should cover the move-out date, utilities, access, condition, insurance, and any holdback.
Use escrow
Have the closing professionals document and review the arrangement.
Plan the transition
Secure the next residence and schedule movers before closing.
