The traditional method of selling a home before buying has worked for decades, and has allowed millions of people to move forward with their plans and their lives.

But it's not without a certain amount of stress and compromise.

In spite of the fact that it has been functional for so many years, there are some issues with the process. I'll explain here by giving some actual situations that I have encountered while representing clients as a "traditional agent".

Which of these most closely resembles your situation?  "I want to move to a different home, but...

• I’m afraid that if I put my home up for sale and it gets sold, I won’t find another home in time and I might have to rent for a while.

• I can’t buy a different house until my current home closes escrow.

• I have an elderly parent (or someone with a disability) living with me, or kids and/or pets, and we can’t readily clean up and leave for every showing.

• Each house that I want to buy gets sold before I can get my current home sold.

• I can’t see how I can keep my current home clean and “showing-ready” while it’s for sale.  I need to live my life.

• I work from home and can’t stop working to accommodate showings. My dining room table is my office. I would need to put all my papers and files away somewhere and leave the house while some potential buyer is looking through all my stuff and probably won’t buy anyway because the house is a mess.

• My home needs some fixing-up before I can put it on the market, and I just don’t have the time or energy to do it.

• I’ve tried selling it before, but the seller of the house that I want will not accept an offer that is contingent on the sale of this home, so I just gave up and stopped trying."

I have good news for anyone who wants to sell their home and buy another, but doesn’t want to put up with showings, contingencies, constantly keeping the house clean, temporary living arrangements, storage unit fees, and the uncertainty of not knowing if their next home will be available when they are ready.

Like my old boss used to say, “don’t bring me problems, bring me solutions”.

 Buy Before You Sell is the solution.

Our Buy Before You Sell system is a relatively new concept that solves most of those issues.  It allows you to find, buy, and move into your ideal next home before even listing your current home for sale.

Think about how much pressure and stress is eliminated by doing so.

Think about the convenience of not having to put up with showings, keeping the house clean and presentable all the time.

Think about not needing to rent a storage unit for all your extra furniture.

Think about not needing to find temporary living arrangements because the closing date on your current home does not match with the closing date on your next home.

And think about not needing to make those minor but necessary repairs while accommodating showings.
