🔄 How to Buy and Sell at the Same Time Without Losing Your Mind

You’re ready to upgrade your home. Or downsize. Or move closer to work, family, or warm weather.

But there’s just one problem…
You need to sell your current home and buy a new one—at the same time.

If the thought of juggling both has you overwhelmed… take a deep breath.
I do this every month with homeowners in Strongsville, Brecksville, Parma, and all over Northeast Ohio—and there’s a clear path.

🔁 Option 1: Buy First, Then Sell

This is ideal if you:

• Have enough equity or savings for a down payment

• Don’t want to deal with temporary housing

• Found the perfect home and don’t want to lose it

Pros: Seamless move, no pressure to sell fast
Cons: You carry two mortgages temporarily (unless we time it right)

💡 Pro tip: We can often list your current home the moment you go under contract on the new one and close them back-to-back.

🔁 Option 2: Sell First, Then Buy

Best for homeowners who:

• Need to unlock equity for their next home

• Want to avoid double mortgage stress

• Prefer to know exactly what they’re working with

Pros: No financial overlap
Cons: You might need temp housing (unless we negotiate a rent-back)

💡 Pro tip: I’ve helped clients secure post-sale occupancy so they don’t have to move twice.

🧠 What’s the Best Move for You?

It depends on your timeline, financials, and how competitive the market is. That’s why I build a custom move plan for every client.

We’ll walk through:

• Timeline planning

• Contingencies that actually work

• Financing strategies to keep things smooth

• Whether to list first or wait for the right buy
