Buying a Minneapolis home? Search all homes for sale
Ours is a more traditional real estate market—we have fewer investment properties, distressed properties, and flip sales. That means we have more homeowners who are buying new homes and selling their current homes outright, whether they’re upsizing or downsizing.
To pull all of these transactions off at the same time does require some strategizing, which can make a lot of people nervous. Today, however, I’ll talk about the trick to making these kinds of transactions go off without a hitch.
The problem with managing two transactions at once is that many people want to buy the new house first when they haven’t sold their current one and they don’t have any money because they need to sell their house.
"We’ve never had one seller who wasn’t able to find a house before their current one sold."
Ideally, you should put your current house on the market and then begin your search for a new home. This scares some people—what if they don’t find the right house? In the 15 years we’ve been doing this, we’ve never had one seller who wasn’t able to find a house before their current one sold.
It sounds like a complex situation, but that’s where the value of hiring a professional real estate agent will really come into play. Reach out to us if you have any questions about buying and selling at the same time. We would love to guide you through our step-by-step process.
