* this can vary based on the average number of days on market in your area
If you are simply selling without a need to buy, we can help you on our Selling page.
And, if you are not selling, just buying, we can do that also. We have the MLS at our fingertips.
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.
So, why change?
The old way is 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 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.
The elapsed time between putting your home up for sale and actually receiving the proceeds so you can buy can sometimes be up to two months. During those 2 months your dream home can very well be sold to someone else.
"Buy Before You Sell" gives you time to find the home on your schedule without the pressure.
- I can’t buy a different house until my current home closes escrow.
"Buy Before You Sell" provides the funds to make a guaranteed non-contingent offer on your next home before you have actually sold your current home.
- 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.
You will not need to put up with any of the "showing inconveniences" with "Buy Before You Sell". You will have already moved out of your old home and into your new home on your timeline. Once you have moved out we will start preparing your old home for sale so that any showings will take place in a clean unoccupied home, and the prospective buyers can better visualize furniture placement in a clean vacant home.
-
Each house that I want to buy gets sold before I can get my current home sold.
See the first example above
- 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, OR..
-
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.
You will not need to put up with any of the "showing inconveniences" with "Buy Before You Sell". You will have already moved out of your old home and into your new home on your timeline. Once you have moved out we will start preparing your old home for sale so that any showings will take place in a clean unoccupied home, and the prospective buyers can better visualize furniture placement in a clean vacant home.
- 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.
"Buy Before You Sell" gives you the opportunity to make any necessary repairs or upgrades AFTER you have moved out of your old home. Additionally, we have partnerships with contractors who can take on the work so that you don't need to do it on your own. Some of the proceeds from the equity advance can be set aside for repairs, upgrades, or other preparations.
- 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."
The "Buy Before You Sell" equity advance is not just a bridge loan to get to your next home. It is just one part of the overall package which also includes a guaranteed buyout of your current home. Both aspects combined allow you to make a non-contingent off for your next home, meaning that the purchase of your next home is not contingent on the sale of your current home. This strengthens the offer in the Seller's eyes because the offer cannot be rescinded if the current home does not sell.
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.

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 such as storage unit, temporary housing, and other extras are eliminated by our system.
The program cost to our partner in the program will be either 2.25% or 2.4% depending on the equity advance partner that is used. There will also be an $1850 one time fee when the 2.25% partner is used.
However, these costs are offset by the real estate commission reductions that I provide when my team is selected to provide this service.
There are other intangibles to consider:
- What is the value to you to be able to move in to your next home 47 days sooner than doing it the old way?
- What is the value to you for using a system that is practically stress-free?
Schedule a no-obligation meeting, either in-person or by phone to discuss how this can help your situation.

We will try our best to respond back to you within 24 hours, but usually much sooner.
