Start with your calendar
Maybe you have found the next place. Maybe you know you want a change, but you are wondering where you would go after selling. Either way, we can start with your situation and build a plan for both sides of the move.
- When would you like to move, and which dates are flexible?
- Do you need the proceeds from this sale for your next purchase?
- Would you consider a temporary place to stay if the two moves do not line up?
Put the money and timing on the same page
Bring your lender into the conversation early. Ask what purchase budget fits, what money you would need upfront and when it needs to be available. A Loan Estimate helps you discuss the proposed loan, monthly payment and closing costs with the lender.
Michelle and I can help coordinate the property search and sale plan. Your lender can work through financing, and your attorney can review the terms connecting the two transactions.
Talk through the options before an offer
Selling first, buying first or making a purchase dependent on a sale each creates a different set of timing questions. A home-sale contingency is one possible contract topic to discuss with your agent and attorney. The right conversation starts with your priorities and the specific homes involved.
We can also map out packing, access, moving arrangements and a backup place to stay if dates change. Putting those pieces on paper gives you a clearer picture of the next step.
