Selling through an agency: know what you approve.

Before publication

1. The agency prepares the property record. It imports or enters listing information, checks the source, and selects a property as eligible for rent-to-own.
2. The owner is invited and verified. The invitation should reach the actual owner through an appropriate contact route. Verification establishes who is acting in the workflow; it is not legal advice or a title guarantee.
3. The owner reviews a precise proposal. Check the property, asking price, monthly amount, upfront amount, duration, purchase-credit treatment, responsibilities, and proposed exit conditions. Ask for changes before approval.
4. Approval is recorded. The record should identify the terms approved, their version, the person approving, and the time. Initial-cohort properties may also receive a Yortana review before publication.

When buyers engage

Public listings keep private contact details masked. Contact information becomes visible when a viewing is confirmed or an official offer is submitted, whichever happens first. The agency may coordinate inquiries and visits within its mandate. Official offers and counteroffers should stay in the property negotiation record so each participant can see the current proposal and decision history.

What the owner still decides

The owner should understand and approve any binding commercial decision. Agency authority depends on the mandate and applicable law; Yortana does not expand it. Before signing, obtain independent advice about the chosen legal structure, taxes, registration, financing, defaults, occupancy, maintenance, refunds, the future transfer, and professional fees. “Rent-to-own” is a broad market description, not a promise that every agreement works in the same way.
