  • How to Exit or Transfer Your Investment on Deed?

    Flexibility is a key advantage of fractional real estate investing. This guide explains the process of exiting or selling your investment on the Deed platform, giving you the freedom to access your capital when you need it.

    TL;DR – Quick Exit Process

    • You must hold the investment for at least 1 year before requesting an exit. 
    • Exits are only available during two annual secondary market exit windows
    • If matched with a buyer, the proceeds go to your Deed wallet
    • Exits depend on market demand and also on buyer eligibility - a buyer is not guaranteed.
    • Transfers are only allowed between existing clients who have either:
      • previously invested through the platform or
      • lent funds under Deed’s loan agreements.
    • If no exit occurs, your investment continues to earn rental income and appreciation. 

    Why This Matters

    While real estate is traditionally a long-term investment, we understand that circumstances can change. 

    The Deed platform provides a clear and straightforward process for exiting your investments, offering you liquidity and control over your portfolio.

    Knowing your exit options is an important part of any investment strategy.

    Exit flow on Deed

    Step 1: Complete the 1-Year Minimum Holding Period

    Complete the 1-Year Minimum Holding Period

    • DEED requires a 12-month minimum hold on all property investments before you’re eligible to exit.

    Step 2: Exit via the Secondary Market Windows

     Exit via the Secondary Market Windows

    • Deed opens two exit windows per year during which investors can submit exit requests. 
    • In those windows, you may request to transfer your shares to another investor
    • If your shares are matched with a buyer, the proceeds are credited to your Deed wallet

    If your shares are not matched, your investment stays active — you continue to receive rental income and potential appreciation. 

    Step 3: Canceling Your Investment (Before or During Exit)

    You may cancel your investment under certain conditions, as per Deed’s policy:

    Canceling Your Investment (Before or During Exit)

    Note: All cancellations require you to have completed KYC/AML checks before processing.  

    Also, promotional benefits, rental income, or dividends are not refunded if cancellation occurs.  

    Refunds will be processed back to the same payment account  used originally.  

    ⚠️ Important Notes & Conditions

    Important Notes & Conditions

    • Exits are not guaranteed — matching depends on buyer demand. 
    • If no exit is possible during an exit window, your investment remains active and continues to accrue income and possible appreciation. 
    • Canceling before exit is only available under the specific windows described above.
    • You receive only your originally invested capital in a cancellation — no additional gains are returned.

    FAQ Section

    Can I exit my investment at any time?

    No — exits are only permitted after a 1-year minimum holding period and during DEED’s twice-yearly exit windows.

    Are there any fees for exiting an investment?

    Yes — exiting an investment on Deed incurs an Exit Fee of 2.5% on the value of the shares exited  (applied during the exit windows).  

    Can I cancel anytime after investing?

    No. Cancellation is allowed only:

    • Within 48 hours of investing
    • Before a property is fully funded (via request)
    • Within 48 hours after full funding
