What To Do If You've Found Your Dream Home But Haven't Sold Yours
You’ve decided you may want a new home. You’re excited, but not invested yet. You just want to browse…. for fun. You search online and identify a few houses you'd like to see. You casually visit some open houses.
And then it happens. You find the house. It’s exactly what you’re looking for and has every item on your checklist. You must have it. You have to make an offer. Today. Right now.
And then you remember. You haven't SOLD YOUR HOUSE YET.
Wait... Hold the line. You need to sell? ⠀
You start backing up the train, hoping to quickly figure something out. Can you hire an agent this minute to get your home sold and make an offer? Well... yes and no. But, mostly no.⠀⠀
⠀⠀
Okay. Stay calm. This is where I come flying in from the future to save you. It's going to be okay. This is just a story, a warning. Let’s start over and go back in time.
Here we go... ⠀
⠀
You’ve decided you may want a new home. You call your real estate agent and make an appointment. You know it's smart to enlist the help of an agent right away.
Your agent will review a plan with you. We have proven systems and plans that will work for you when selling while buying concurrently. We do this every day and have always made the dates work when buying and selling at the same time.
⠀
You feel confident with your course of action. You’re listing your home before you find your dream house in order to stay ahead of competing offers, contingencies, etc.
You did it.
You enlisted the help of a professional real estate agent prior to seeing homes.
You came in hot with an offer that the seller can't refuse - who wouldn't want to work with you?!
You didn't get disappointed because you didn't lose a home you set your heart on before you were ready. ⠀⠀
Phew! Thank goodness for time travel! You almost lost the home of your dreams!
