Selling & Buying Simultaneously? Here’s How to Do It Right!

February 3, 2025

Buying a new home while selling your current one can feel like juggling two big tasks at once, but with the right plan, it’s absolutely manageable. Here’s how to tackle both sides of the transaction and make the process as smooth as possible.

Know Your Home’s Value
Start by understanding what your current home is worth. A professional home evaluation can provide an accurate estimate and help you plan your next steps. Don’t hesitate to reach out to us for a free valuation.

Get Pre-Approved
Pre-approval strengthens your offers and clarifies your buying power. It also allows you to act quickly when you find the right home. Check out this guide to learn why pre-approval is essential.

Stay Flexible and Organized
Create a timeline with key milestones for both selling and buying. If there’s a gap between selling your current home and buying your next one, options like rent-back agreements, longer closing, bridge loans, home equity lines of credit (HELOC), or temporary housing can help bridge the transition. Being prepared to adapt will help keep the process moving smoothly.

Regardless of where you are in the process, we are here to help! Reach out to discuss the best strategy for your unique situation.

If you’re asking this question, chances are... you probably do! 💡 The people who know their home is dialed in and ready to impress? They’re not asking.

That’s where I come in! I’ll walk through your home with you and help determine if your furniture enhances the space—or if it’s too big, too cluttered, or outdated. These small details can make a BIG impact on buyers!
