Today we are going to learn the best way to sell a home before you buy. When you are out looking to buy a new home while also juggling the sale of your current home, it can be difficult. It’s a common topic our clients ask us about, so today we wanted to let you know what our team does to achieve this. Timing is key, that way you don’t have to live anywhere temporarily.
We usually suggest that if you get an offer on your home but have not found one to buy yet, you make the offer contingent on the seller finding their home of choice in 14 days, or whatever you are comfortable with.
This usually works for us and it also gives you the peace of mind to find the home you are looking for without the big rush. If you get a quick offer and don’t have a home yet, make sure you also include a clause that would get you out of it in case you aren’t able to find one. If your buyer is indeed in love with your home, they will be open to extending the closing time too.
If you have any questions for us or would like some more advice if you are in a situation like this, feel free to give us a call or send us an email. We look forward to hearing from you!
