Need to Sell & Buy?

When waiting for the "perfect home," timing is everything. If that ideal listing hits the market next weekend, how we handle your current home will determine our success.

Below are the four paths we can take, depending on your financial flexibility and comfort with risk:

Path 1: The Express Path (Maximum Buying Power)

• The Strategy: Get pre-approved. Write a non-contingent offer using available cash. Close in 30–45 days, move into your new home, then stage and sell your current home.

  • Zero risk of losing the new home. No living through showings or rushing prep work.

  • Requires pre-aligned liquid assets or financing bridges, plus potential overlap in carrying two properties.

Path 2: The Concurrent Closing Path (Calculated Risk)

• The Strategy: Write a non-contingent offer, but list your current home within 3 days to secure a buyer who can align closing dates for a seamless same-day transition.

  • Minimizes holding overlapping expenses while keeping your offer attractive to the seller.

  • Strict timeline pressure. Requires precise coordination and market confidence to get your home under contract quickly. If your current home doesnt close, you buy the next home using available cash.

Path 3: The Contingent Path (High Speed & Prep)

• The Strategy: Write an offer contingent on selling your current home—with a commitment to go live on the market within 3 days of an accepted offer.

  • Protects your finances while allowing you to write an offer on the dream home immediately.

  • Your current home must be 100% show-ready and photo-ready today. Sellers will view contingent offers as riskier in high-competition situations and you will have a harder time getting your offer accepted.

Path 4: The Sell-First Path

• The Strategy: Secure a firm buyer for your current home first, then start house hunting for the new one.

  • Complete financial certainty—you know your exact net proceeds before making an offer.

  • High pressure to find a new home quickly before your buyer gets impatient, or the need to secure temporary housing between moves.
