What Is a Seller Note?

A seller note (also called owner financing, a seller carry-back, or a promissory note) is created when you sell a property or business and agree to accept payments over time rather than a full lump sum at closing.

In other words, you became the lender. The buyer sends you monthly payments, typically with interest, until the note is paid off. While this arrangement benefits buyers who may struggle to secure traditional financing, it leaves you carrying risk and waiting years, sometimes decades, to collect your full proceeds.

The good news: that note has real market value today. Stetson Investments will evaluate your note and present you with a cash purchase offer, so you don't have to wait.

"You don't have to stay locked into monthly payments. Your note is an asset, and we're ready to buy it."

Real Estate Seller Notes

Notes secured by residential or commercial property, including owner-financed homes, land, and commercial buildings.

Business Seller Notes

Promissory notes created when a business was sold and the seller agreed to carry a portion of the purchase price.

Land Contracts & Contracts for Deed

Installment sale agreements where the buyer makes payments to the seller until the full price is paid.

Non-Performing Notes

Your buyer has stopped paying? We purchase non-performing and distressed notes, so you don't have to chase payments.

Why Sellers Choose to Cash Out

There's no single reason to sell a note, but most sellers share a common goal: they want control of their money, not a payment stream stretching into the future.

💰

Immediate Liquidity

Life doesn't wait for monthly payments. Selling your note provides a lump sum of cash you can reinvest, use for expenses, or reallocate into opportunities that make sense today.

🛡️

Eliminate Risk

When you hold a note, you're exposed to borrower default, property deterioration, and legal costs if payments stop. Selling transfers all of that risk to us.

📉

Non-Performing Notes

If your buyer has stopped making payments, you're stuck in an uncomfortable situation. We purchase non-performing notes so you can move on without the legal headache.

🏗️

Reinvest the Capital

A lump sum today is often more powerful than the sum of future payments. Use the proceeds to fund a new investment, purchase property, or grow your business.

🧾

Simplify Your Finances

Managing a note, tracking payments, issuing year-end statements, following up on late payers, takes time and energy. Sell and simplify your financial picture.

🤝

Estate & Life Planning

Notes can complicate estates. Selling converts a complex asset into clean cash, making it easier to distribute, gift, or plan around.

Frequently Asked Questions

New to selling a note? Here are answers to the questions we hear most often.

What is a seller note buyer?
A seller note buyer is an investor or company that purchases seller-financed promissory notes from the original note holder in exchange for a lump sum of cash. Instead of waiting for monthly payments over the remaining life of the note, you receive a discounted cash payment upfront. Stetson Investments is a note buyer specializing in purchasing these types of instruments.
How much will I receive for my seller note?
Purchase prices vary based on several factors: the remaining balance, interest rate, payment history, the creditworthiness of the borrower, the value of the underlying collateral, and how much of the note remains. Because we buy at a discount to account for risk and time value of money, the purchase price will be less than the full outstanding balance. However, for many note holders, receiving a reliable lump sum today is worth far more than years of waiting.
Does my buyer know I'm selling the note?
Eventually, yes. Your buyer will be notified of the assignment as part of the legal closing process and will be instructed to send future payments to us. However, the sale of a note does not change the terms of their loan. The interest rate, payment amount, and schedule remain exactly the same for the borrower.
What documents do I need to sell my note?
At the offer stage, very little is needed. We'll ask for basic details about the note through our intake form. If we proceed to a formal transaction, we'll typically request the original promissory note, the mortgage or deed of trust, closing documents from the original sale, and payment history. We'll guide you through exactly what's needed.
How long does the process take?
We can typically provide a preliminary offer within a few business days of receiving your note details. If you accept and we move to closing, the full transaction can often be completed in 2–4 weeks, depending on the complexity of the note and how quickly title work is completed.
Can I sell a note if my buyer has stopped paying?
Yes. We evaluate non-performing notes and will make offers on distressed situations. The purchase price for a non-performing note will reflect the additional risk and recovery work involved, but selling may still be the most practical path forward rather than pursuing collections or foreclosure on your own.
Is there any obligation when I submit my note for review?
None at all. Submitting your note for evaluation is completely free and carries no obligation. We'll review the details, provide an offer if it meets our criteria, and you decide whether it makes sense for you. There is no pressure and no cost to find out what your note is worth to us.
