Common questions
Selling and Buying, Answered.
Should I sell first or buy first?
It depends on your equity, your financing and how much flexibility you have on timing.
Selling first puts your equity in hand and makes your offer stronger, but you may need a short-term place to stay. Buying first lets you move once, but you may carry two homes for a while. Your written plan lays out which path fits your situation.
Can I buy my next home before I sell?
Sometimes. It depends on whether you can qualify for the new home while you still own your current one.
Some buyers make their offer contingent on the sale of their home, and some lenders offer short-term options that use the equity in your current home. We’ll review what’s available with you and your lender before you decide.
What if my home sells before I find my next one?
There are ways to plan for that. Depending on the buyer and their lender, you may be able to negotiate a later closing date or a short stay in the home after closing. If that isn’t possible, a short-term rental can fill the gap.
We plan for this before your home is listed, so it isn’t a surprise.
How long does the whole process take?
Every move is different. Timing depends on how quickly your home sells, how long your search takes and how your financing comes together.
Your written plan includes a timeline built around your goals and the dates that matter to you.
