How To Buy and Sell a Home at the Same Time

Learn how a contingent offer or an exclusive program might help you today.

Buying a new home while selling the current one can be a challenge. No one wants to rush into a purchase or settle for a house that isn’t the right fit. However, waiting too long to list a home could mean missing out on great opportunities. The key here is to have a plan and know the options available. With the right approach, it’s possible to make the process smooth and stress-free. Here are the three options you can consider:

1. Sale contingent on finding a new home. One option is to list the current home for sale while making it subject to finding a new home. This strategy can include negotiating a delayed closing or requesting extra possession days. While this approach provides flexibility, it’s important to consider whether it may limit the pool of potential buyers, as some may be unwilling to wait.

Sell your home on your terms while securing the next one.

2. Contingent offer. Another approach is making a contingent offer, meaning a new home is secured before listing the current one. This option allows time to find the right home without feeling rushed, but not all sellers accept contingent offers. Additionally, negotiation power may be limited in these situations. A skilled real estate agent can help structure the offer to make it more appealing to sellers.

3. One move program. The third option would be our exclusive one move program, designed specifically to address the buy-sell dilemma. This program turns homeowners into cash buyers and eliminates the need to sell before securing a new home. Many homeowners have used this solution to navigate the process with greater ease.

Selling a home while buying another can be a complex process, but the right strategy can make the transition smoother. Understanding these choices and working with a knowledgeable real estate professional can help ensure a successful move. If you have questions or need guidance, I'm here to help you.
