Selling and Buying Your Next Home in Pickerington, Ohio
Selling your home and buying your next one? I plan and coordinate both, so the move is as smooth as possible.
Moving up in Pickerington
If you own in Pickerington and want your next home to have more space or a different setting, you are making two moves at once. I start with a plan: your goals, your timeline and your finances.
I then prepare a comparative market analysis of your home, so you see its potential market value and your estimated proceeds after selling expenses.
Talk to Jill About Your Move
Making two moves fit together
Can you carry two mortgages for a while, or do you need to sell first? We explore that with your lender. I coordinate the listing, the offers, your search, inspections, financing and closing dates, and we discuss options such as a home-sale contingency or extra time in your current home after closing, with their advantages and risks. Read more on my move-up page.
Your next home in or near Pickerington
If you stay in Pickerington, expect many newer homes in lots of subdivisions, and plenty of new construction. If you want a different pace, Lancaster offers more acreage nearby and homes that are generally more affordable. Either way, we plan for the unexpected, such as your home selling before you find another.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I sell my Pickerington home and buy in Lancaster?
Yes. Lancaster homes are generally more affordable and there is more acreage nearby, and I work in both towns, so we plan the two moves together.
What happens if my home sells before I find another?
We talk about it ahead of time and make backup plans, so you are prepared either way.
