Today our topic is how to buy and sell a home at the same time. A lot of homeowners are unsure of whether they should buy first and then sell or sell first and then buy when they need to do both. The best way to handle this situation is by completing both transactions simultaneously, although that can be tricky. If you can financially afford to do so, the least stressful method is to buy your new home first, then sell your current one. If finances are a concern, you may want to list your home first, find a buyer, then focus on your own purchase.

Today's buyers will pay more money and
offer more favorable terms for your home.

Right now, in the summer and early fall markets, you will have a much better chance at getting more flexible terms from a buyer. A lot of buyers looking today don’t need to move into their property right away, so they can either give you a fall closing or an immediate closing with a leaseback option that will put cash in your pocket now.

The key to selling your home quickly is pricing competitively. With my appraisal background, our team is very accurate at doing this. We also make sure that your home is show-ready by utilizing professional stagers, professional photography, and proactive, targeted marketing.
