Smart Strategies to Make Your Move with Confidence

Thinking about buying a new home while selling your current one? Great! With the right plan and a supportive team, this can be a smooth and exciting transition. Many people take this step every year, and we’re here to help you make it work from start to finish.

Here’s how to move forward with clarity, ease, and peace of mind.

1. Start With a Plan

The best first step is to connect with our team. Mitch will take a close look at your goals, finances, and timeline to create a clear path forward. Whether you need to sell first or buy first, Mitch can explain your options and tailor a strategy to fit your needs.

Quick tip: The market is always changing, but Mitch stays on top of the trends so you can feel confident in every decision.

2. Buying First or Selling First—What Works Best for You?

There’s no one-size-fits-all answer, but Mitch will help you choose the best approach for your situation.

• Selling first gives you a clear idea of your budget for the next home. Mitch can also help you explore short-term options while you shop.
• Buying first means you can move at your own pace and settle into your new space before putting your current home on the market.
• Building first may be an excellent option to consider since we can better control when you should list your current home, to time with when the new home will be available to close, to eliminate the stress associated with selling when you don’t already know where you moving to. This also eliminates having your offer discounted by sellers because it contains a contingency related to the sale of your current home. Builders are much more open to contingencies related to the sale of your current home.

Either way, Mitch will guide you through each step with expert advice and a well-organized plan.

3. Use Contingencies to Your Advantage

In real estate, contingencies are tools that help everything run smoothly. For example, we can include a clause in your offer that allows your purchase to move forward once your current home is under contract. These types of details are part of what Mitch does every day to protect your best interests. Understand that especially in Seller’s markets, such a contingency could eliminate your offer in a multiple offer scenario.

4. Explore Funding Options

Since most buyers need the equity from their current home for the down payment on the next purchase bridge loans, home equity loans and 401K loans might be temporary source of funds that allow you to submit an offer without having to include a contingency related to the sale of you current home which could hurt you in competitive seller’s markets. Mitch can walk you through the pros and cons of each of these options!

5. Line Up the Timing

Coordinating the sale of one home with the purchase of another is something we specialize in. While timelines may vary, Mitch will work closely with all parties involved to help your transactions align as closely as possible. Our goal is to make your move feel simple and seamless.

6. Have a Flexible Game Plan

Sometimes there are small shifts in the process, and that’s okay. Mitch will help you build a flexible plan that includes backup options—just in case you need them. Whether it’s finding temporary housing, working with a trusted lender, or arranging storage, we’ve got you covered.
