WORK WITH ME
If you’re planning to sell your current home and buy your next one, you already know, it can be a bit like juggling while riding a bike. Timing, financing, and logistics all have to line up just right. The good news? You’ve got options, and I’m here to help you understand which one fits your situation best.
HOW IT WORKS
Option 1: Buy Before You Sell
Sometimes your move doesn’t fit into a neat box, and that’s okay. There are other tools we can use like; lease-to-own arrangements (great for unique properties), equity sharing or family-assisted purchases, or off-market opportunities where timing is more flexible.
Option 2: Sell Before You Buy
This is the traditional route: list your home, close the sale, then shop with cash in hand. It often makes financial sense, but it can mean a bit more planning. It can also mean that you lose out on homes you would have preferred or that you need to arrange for temporary housing and possibly having to move twice. But it is possible to negotiate a “rent-back” agreement with your buyer so you can stay in your home for a short period after closing.
This works best if you’re not in a rush and want the financial clarity of knowing exactly what you’ll have available for your next home.
Option 3: Sell & Buy at the Same Time
Yes, it’s possible to coordinate both transactions so they close on the same day. I’ve helped many families in the greater Athens area do just that. It requires careful timing and a strong plan, but with the right team, it can feel seamless.
Here’s how this can look. You list your home while we actively search for your next one. Then we structure contingencies so your purchase depends on your sale (and vice versa). We make sure to use trusted local lenders and closing attorneys who know how to make the timelines work.
This is a good fit if you want to move
Option 4: Creative Solutions
Sometimes your move doesn’t fit into a neat box, and that’s okay. There are other tools we can use like; lease-to-own arrangements (great for unique properties), equity sharing or family-assisted purchases, or off-market opportunities where timing is more flexible.
The Bottom Line
Every move has its own story. Maybe you’re downsizing, relocating, or simply ready for a change. Whatever your “why,” my job is to help you navigate this season with clarity and peace of mind.
Next Steps
When you’re ready, we can sit down and map out a strategy that makes the process smooth, simple, and stress-free.
Because moving isn’t just about changing houses it’s about stepping into the next season of your life with peace.
