Selling Your Home and Buying Your Next One
Selling your home and buying your next one? I plan and coordinate both, so the move is as smooth as possible.
Selling your home and buying your next one? Let's make it happen
Exciting changes are ahead! Whether you're looking for more space, downsizing, relocating, or simply ready for something new, selling your current home while purchasing another can feel overwhelming.
But here's the good news: You don't have to navigate two transactions alone!
With the right planning, communication, and guidance, we can make your transition from one home to the next as smooth as possible.
Talk to Jill About Your Move
Here's what makes this process different
- We Start With a Plan. Before putting your home on the market or touring new homes, we'll discuss your goals, timeline, financial situation, and what needs to happen for your next move to be successful.
- Understanding Your Home's Value. Knowing what your current home may sell for is an important first step. I'll prepare a comparative market analysis to help you understand its potential market value and estimated proceeds after selling expenses.
- Determining Your Buying Power. Do you need to sell your current home before purchasing your next one? Can you qualify to carry two mortgages temporarily? We'll work with your lender to explore your options and determine the best approach for your situation.
- Coordinating Two Transactions. This is where experience, organization, and communication really matter! We'll strategically coordinate listing your home, reviewing offers, searching for your next property, inspections, financing, and closing dates.
- Protecting You With the Right Contingencies. Depending on your situation, we may explore options such as a home-sale contingency or negotiating additional time in your current home after closing. Every option has advantages and potential risks, and I'll help you understand them.
- Preparing for the Unexpected. What happens if your home sells before you find another? What if you find your dream home before your current home sells? We'll discuss these possibilities ahead of time and develop backup plans so you're prepared.
- Making Your Move as Seamless as Possible. Our goal is to coordinate both transactions, minimize unnecessary stress, and help you move confidently into your next chapter.
My commitment to you
Selling one home while buying another takes more than putting a sign in the yard and scheduling showings. It takes strategy, attention to detail, strong communication, and someone who understands how both sides of the transaction work together.
My goal is to help you make the right move, at the right time, with confidence.
You can see each step of selling and buying on my process pages.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need to sell my current home before I buy my next one?
It depends on your situation. We will work with your lender to explore your options, such as selling first or carrying two mortgages for a short time, and decide the best approach together.
What if my home sells before I find another?
We discuss that possibility ahead of time and make backup plans, so you are prepared if your home sells before you find your next one.
