Buy Before You Sell And Move In To Your Next Home Up To 2 or 3 Months Sooner*
* this can vary based on the average number of days on market in your area
The traditional method of selling a home before buying has worked for decades.
So, why change?
There have been studies that show that buying, selling, and moving from one home to another have been major contributors to stress, anxiety, and unwelcome compromise.
Most people who are using the old traditional methods have unwittingly become "Contingent HomeBuyers".
First, let's define what is meant by "Contingent HomeBuyer" by examining this very common scenario:
- Your current home has been on the market for a month or two, and you have diligently kept it clean for showings, and have even looked at some possible homes to buy.
- Finally you receive an offer to purchase, and are now under contract with a specific closing date 35 to 45 days from now.
- However, many of the homes that you looked at are no longer available, having been already sold or currently under contract.
- You now have 35 to 45 days to find another home to buy, get an offer accepted, get your mortgage loan approved, and try to move in before your current home closes escrow.
- If anything is delayed you will need to move your furnishings into storage and find temporary housing so that your current home can close satisfactorily.
- Contractual issues or 3rd party requirements can cause delays during this waiting period. Inspections, inspection resolutions, due diligence items, Title issues, or lender delays can all impact the timeline.
- So, if there is a possibility that you are not able to complete the closing on your next home until you have closed on your current home and can apply the net proceeds from the sale to your next home...
- ...You have become a Contingent HomeBuyer.
- Deals can completely fall apart under these circumstances.
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.
- Find your ideal next home first, on your schedule, without being rushed by an impending closing date on your old home.
- Eliminate time-crunch induced pressure and stress.
- Enjoy the convenience of not having to put up with showings, keeping the house clean and presentable all the time.
- Forget about needing to declutter and rent a storage unit for all your extra furniture.
- Only move once. You will not need to find temporary housing because the closing date on your current home does not match with the closing date on your next home.
- Decisions regarding what to move vs what to discard become easier.
- Take care of the minor but necessary repairs after you have moved out on your schedule.
- Offer your buyer a move-in ready home at a premium price.

How does the Buy Before You Sell solution compare cost-wise?
The cost of our Buy Before You Sell is going to be roughly the same as doing it the traditional way, and could be quite a bit less when you factor out the extra costs that you will not need such as storage unit, temporary housing, and other extras that are eliminated by our system.
And, your current mortgage payment will not be included in the Debt to Income (DTI) calculation for your next home.
There are other intangibles to consider:
- What is the value to you to be able to move in to your next home 3 months sooner than doing it the old way?
- What is the value to you for using a system that is practically stress-free?
