Common questions

What buyers like you ask

Should I buy first or sell first?

It depends on your market and financial position. In a competitive market buying first gives you more leverage. I will help you think through the risk on both sides.

Can I use my current home's equity for the down payment?

Yes. There are several ways to access equity including a bridge loan, HELOC, or timing the sale and purchase to align at closing.

What is a bridge loan?

A short-term loan that uses your current home's equity to fund the down payment on your new home before your old home sells.

Can I make an offer contingent on selling my current home?

Yes though contingent offers are less competitive. We will discuss whether the market conditions support this approach.

What if my current home does not sell before I need to close?

We plan for this scenario from the start. Understanding your financial exposure and having backup options in place is part of the strategy.

Should I consider keeping my current home as a rental?

Possibly. If the numbers work it can be a smart long-term move. We will run the analysis together.
