1.   List your current home subject to
finding a new one.
This option is good in a sellers market, but can also to work
just fine in most other markets as well with the right tactics.
When you have accepted an offer on your home the sale will
be subject to your locating and purchasing a new home.
Prospective buyers will know ahead of time that you need to
find a new home before their purchase can close. It will help
motivate the buyer to have located a house already.

2.   Make offers subject to selling your
current home(contingent offers)
When you find a house you want to purchase you can make
an offer subject to your current home selling.  Sellers will
want to make sure your home is listed at a good price with a
high chance of selling.

3. Move into a rental home temporarily.
If you don't want to worry about the complications of two real
estate transactions occurring simultaneously, you may want
to rent a temporary home while you sell your old home and
buy a new one. This gives more breathing room when
looking, and you won't feel as pressured to jump on
something you aren't crazy about.

4. "Rent back" the house you are selling
In many cases, after your current house sells, you will need
some time to move out. A "rent-back" is where you rent your
old house from the new buyer for a few days or weeks while
you move or finish the closing of your new home. It is often
likely the seller of your new home will need to rent back as
well.


These are just some of the ways to make your transition to a
new home easier. If you are serious about making the move,
give me a call and we'll get started.
