Selling and Buying a House at the Same Time

Buying a house while also selling a house is tricky, and it’s a common challenge many family’s face when navigating the real estate market.

Where do you start? Do you sell first, and then buy? What is your budget for your new home? How much will your net proceeds be when you sell your home?

Managing both processes simultaneously involves a balancing act, finances, negotiations, timing, and often, emotional stress. It can be overwhelming to figure out whether to buy first or sell first, how to handle offers on your current home, or how to ensure the closing dates align. With so many moving parts, it’s easy to feel stuck or uncertain.

Over the last decade, I have helped hundreds of people navigate this situation and have seen firsthand how confusing and complex it can be. In this class, I will provide insights based on years of experience, offering you valuable tips and strategies to make the process smoother and less stressful.
