In a perfect world, buying and selling simultaneously would go just according to schedule.

The reality is it doesn't always pan out as nice and timely as you would like.

Thankfully, there are a few tricks and strategies you can utilize to smooth out any wrinkles in the plan.👇

1) Leasebacks - Leasebacks allow you to sell your home and then rent it back temporarily from the new owner. It buys you time to find and close on your dream home without rushing or having to move twice.

2) Bridge loans - This type of loan acts as a temporary financing solution, bridging the financial gap between selling your current home and purchasing a new one. They often involve two phases.

Phase 1 - You may not have to make monthly payments on your new home, but interest accrues.

Phase 2 - Once your current home sells, you use the proceeds to pay off the bridge loan, including accrued interest.

Keep in mind a bridge loan can free you from the contingency of selling your current home before buying a new one. Translation? You get a competitive edge in a hot real estate market where homes are snatched up quickly.🏘️

If you’re planning to buy and sell at the same time, here are a few more dos and don'ts:

• Sync your closing dates as best as you can.
• Have a backup plan for where you’ll go if the timing doesn't perfectly align. Investigate the strategies mentioned above.
• Communicate often with your real estate team. No question or concern is off-limits.
• Try not to let all the details get the best of you. Remember, this is temporary, and oh-so-soon, you’ll be settled into your new home.

4 Tips To Prep for Your Home Sale This Fall 🍁🍁🍁🍁🍁🍁🍁🍁🍁🍁🍁🍁🍁🍁🍁🍁

Even in a hot sellers’ market like today’s in which homes are selling so quickly, it’s still important to make a good first impression on potential buyers. Taking the time upfront to prep your house appropriately can bring in the greatest return on your investment.

Here are four simple tips to make sure you maximize the sale of your house this fall.

1. Price It Right
One of the first things buyers will notice is the price of your house. That’s why it’s important to price it right. Your goal in pricing your house is to draw attention from competing buyers and let bidding wars push the final sales price up. Pricing your house too high to begin with could put you at a disadvantage by discouraging buyers from making an offer.

Your trusted real estate advisor can help you find the price for your home that reflects the current market value. Lean on your agent to help you with this crucial first step.

2. Keep It Clean
It may sound simple, but keeping your house clean is key to making sure it gets the attention it deserves. As realtor.com says in the Home Selling Checklist:

“When selling your home, it’s important to keep everything tidy for buyers. . . . Remember to take special care with the bathroom, making sure the tile, counters, shower, and floors shine.”

Before each buyer visits, assess your space and determine what needs your attention. Wash the dishes, make the beds, and put away any toys. Doing these simple things can reduce any potential distractions for buyers.

3. Make It Easy To Visit
Giving buyers the opportunity to see your house on their schedule can be a true game-changer. Buyers are less likely to make an offer if it’s difficult to plan a tour or they can’t easily fit it into their schedule. Making your house available as often as possible helps create opportunities for more buyers to fall in love with your house.

Rest assured your trusted real estate advisor will keep your health and safety top of mind when buyers tour your home. Agents use the latest guidance to stay up to date on any protocols and sanitization recommendations.

4. Help Buyers Feel at Home
Finally, it’s important for buyers to see all the possible ways they can make your house their next home. As the realtor.com article puts it:

“The goal is to create a blank canvas on which buyers can project their own visions of living there, and loving it.”

An easy first step to create this blank canvas is removing personal items – pictures, awards, and sentimental belongings – from your space. If you’re unsure what should be packed away and what can stay, consult your trusted real estate advisor. Spending the time on this step can pay off in the long run, as the 2021 Profile of Home Staging from the National Association of Realtors notes:

“Eighteen percent of sellers’ agents said home staging increased the dollar value of a residence between 6% and 10%.”

Bottom Line
To make the most of today’s sellers’ market, avoid the temptation to skip over the essential preparation steps. Let’s connect today to discuss all the ways you can maximize your home sale.
