Should You Sell Your Home First Before Putting An Offer On Another Home?

Should You Sell Your Home First Before Putting An Offer On Another Home?

This is really a tough subject for most home sellers.

It's exciting to find the perfect house. That part might be easy.

The tough part comes when you have a house to sell first.

I've seen this scenario happen over and over because home buyers jump the gun and put an offer on their dream home without a closing on their present home.

Sure, I'm patient with folks...BUT, I know how hard I have to work to sell a home in the market we are in.

It takes longer than you think.

Deals can even fall through because buyers can't get financing even after they have been "pre-approved".

If I make kind suggestions to get your ducks in a row first...before you look at homes... I'm not doing it to be pushy. I say this because I care.

I am a troubleshooter that has been there in the trenches with buyers and sellers.

I would never push a client to buy something if they weren't prepared for the worst. That's my job to see through the possible minefield and guide my clients where to step so they can safely get to a successful closing.
