BUY + SELL
Your next home starts with a plan for this one.
If your move depends on selling your current home, the first step is not putting up a sign or starting a home search. It is understanding your equity, buying power, timing and backup options.
You don't need to decide what comes first before we talk.
THE FIRST DECISION
Do we buy first or sell first?
There is no universal answer. These are the three most common ways to structure the move.
SELL FIRST
More certainty before you buy.
You know what your home sold for and what you have available for the next purchase.
We also need a plan for where you will live if the right home is not ready yet.
BUY FIRST
More control over where you land.
You can wait for the right home instead of buying under pressure because your current home has already sold.
We need to know whether carrying both homes temporarily is realistic.
COORDINATE BOTH
Keep the two moves closer together
With enough preparation and the right contract terms, the sale and purchase may be able to overlap.
This path has more moving parts, so the backup plan matters.
You don't need to choose the path today. We choose it after we understand the numbers and the market.
ONE MOVE. TWO TRANSACTIONS.
The numbers and the timing have to work together.
Selling and buying are not really separate decisions when one depends on the other.
A choice on one side can change what is possible on the other.

Let's figure out what a realistic move could look like.
Tell me where you are now, where you want to go and what makes the move feel complicated. We'll map the options before you make a commitment on either side.
