Buying and selling at the same time

without being left "homeless"

One of the most common questions I get as an agent is how to buy and sell at the same time. In most cases, those looking to purchase their next house need the proceeds from selling their current home in order to afford a new home. This is very typical as a home is usually your largest investment and the average person can't afford two mortgages.

So, they have worry that they will try to sell their home but won't find anything to buy and be stuck basically homeless! They think the only other option is to buy first but then they worry what if their current home doesn't sell right away and they're left with two mortgage payments. So it must not be possible, right?

Well, I promise you it is! In fact, this is very common and there are multiple tools that can be utilized in this situation. Learn more about this and some of the tools available to you in the video above! #RealValueRealtor
