Don’t Be Afraid to Buy and Sell Homes Simultaneously

Here’s how a professional can help make a successful, contingent home sale.

Things can get somewhat tricky when selling a home and buying a new one. It’s a fear that many of our clients communicate with us: They’re afraid that they’ll sell their property and suddenly have nowhere else to go. Others want to buy a new place, but they’re not in a position to quickly sell their current home. 

“Contingency” can be a scary word for some people, but it can be necessary in these situations. Additionally, a seller needs to know their buyer will have a smooth ride to the closing table—this is especially important when you’re selling your home before buying another.

Due to the fact that so many different things are in motion during the buying and selling processes, you want to make sure you’re working with a seasoned real estate professional. We’ve been working together for over a decade, and we always help our clients to be prepared for anything that these processes entail. We set out a game plan and talk about possibilities like bridge loans, equity, gift funds, and other ways to make your transition easier and quicker. It’s a challenging market right now, but there are still a lot of routes we can take together.

If you’re thinking about buying a home but are worried about selling your current one, reach out to us. It’s a task that we’re familiar with, and we’d be happy to set up a consultation and figure out a strategy that works well for your situation. Otherwise, you can always feel free to reach out to us with any questions you may have about real estate. We look forward to hearing from you soon.
