Buying & Selling
Buying and Selling at the Same Time
Buying and selling at once means juggling two sets of deadlines, two negotiations and one budget. Most people worry about the same things: selling too soon with nowhere to go, or buying before the money from the sale is available. A plan made before either transaction starts makes these decisions much clearer.
How I can help
- Map out the order of your sale and purchase based on your finances and goals.
- Help you understand your equity and talk through options with your lender.
- Prepare your current home for market while we search for your next one.
- Coordinate offers, contingencies and closing dates across both transactions.
Decisions to prepare for
- Whether to sell first, buy first or try to close both close together.
- Whether a temporary living arrangement makes sense.
- How much of your equity goes into the next home.
- What happens if one side of the move takes longer than expected.
Client story
Move-up buyer
A client sold her starter home, cleared consumer debt and moved into a short-term rental while we prepared. Within six months she moved into a forever home twice the size of her starter home.
Questions and answers
Can I make an offer that depends on selling my current home?
Sometimes. A sale contingency can protect you, but it may make your offer less competitive. We weigh that trade-off together based on your market and finances.
