Buying and selling together can be stressful because you are trying to coordinate:

• The timeline for both transactions
• Your available funds (for down payment, closing costs and possible repairs)
• Whether you are willing to move more than once (for example, into temporary housing)
• Whether you are comfortable living in a home while it is for sale
• Whether you are willing to sell your current home before you have secured a new property

How we help

While there is no single solution that removes all complexity, we help you:

• Clarify your goals and constraints
• Map out different scenarios (sell first, buy first, or coordinate closings)
• Understand trade-offs between convenience, cost and risk
• Connect with lending and other professionals as needed

Planning first

We encourage clients to start with a plan built around the end goal. That usually includes:

1. Reviewing your finances and potential lending options with appropriate professionals
2. Discussing how flexible you can be with timing and temporary living arrangements
3. Deciding how important it is to have your next home secured before you list your current home

Resources

• We offer a Buying and Selling at the Same Time Guide that explains these options in more detail.
• You can request this guide directly from us.

For personalized advice on your situation or to request the guide, please contact us using the details in our contact document or through the contact options on our website.

Ask anyway — the agent will say plainly that it is not published rather than guess.
