Moving Up
Buying and selling at the same time takes a plan.
You'll have the timing mapped out before anything gets listed.
Moving Up
The moving parts.
Buying and selling together has a lot of moving pieces. Here's what you'll actually be thinking through.
Timing
Which comes first depends on your situation — you'll look at what each option means for you before deciding anything.
Selling your current home
Preparing it well, and understanding how the order of operations affects your leverage along the way.
The next search
What you actually need more of this time — and what you were wrong about last time around.
How the neighborhood changed
The street you bought on years ago isn't the same street. You'll look at it with fresh eyes.
Financing considerations
Lauren isn't a lender and won't advise on loans, but you'll know exactly who to talk through the financing with.
Coordination
Inspections, escrow, movers — you'll know who's keeping track of what, so nothing falls through.
What's Next
What you want more of.
It helps to get specific about the upgrade. Room to host. A real office. A yard. A quieter street. A different school boundary.
What would actually change your day-to-day, versus what just sounds good on paper? You'll figure that out together before you start looking.
