Ready for more space? Let's time it right.
Selling one home and buying the next is a juggling act. I help you understand your equity, your options, and a timeline that keeps you from getting stuck in between.
Three ways to make the move
The right one depends on your equity, your market, and how much flexibility you have.
Sell first
You know exactly what you have to spend and you are not carrying two homes. The tradeoff is a possible short-term move or rent-back.
Buy first
One move and no rush. This usually depends on qualifying with both homes or having a plan to access your equity.
Line them up
Coordinate both closings close together, sometimes with a contingent offer. It takes planning, which is where I come in.
See the selling side and the buying side together.
Because I am licensed in real estate and mortgage lending, I can help you estimate what your current home may net, what that means for your next purchase, and which financing options are worth comparing.
Estimates are not guarantees. Final numbers depend on your sale price, costs, and full loan approval.

Move-up questions
How do I find out how much equity I have?
We compare recent nearby sales with what you owe, then estimate selling costs. It gives you a realistic range to plan your next purchase around.
Can I make an offer that depends on selling my home?
Yes, a contingent offer is an option. How sellers respond depends on the market and the home, so we talk through how to make your offer as strong as possible.
What if my home sells before I find the next one?
There are ways to buy time, like negotiating a later closing or a short rent-back with the buyer. We plan for this before you list.
