When a sale and a purchase overlap, the hardest part is often the space between them. I help you see the dependencies early so we can talk through the sequence, the support you need, and the fallback before a deadline forces the conversation.
01
Find the dependency first.
Does the next purchase depend on proceeds from your current home? Is there a date you truly cannot move? Those answers shape our first conversation. If financing is involved, bring your lender into the timing discussion early so the available choices are clear.
02
Compare the possible sequences.
Selling first, buying first, and coordinating both closings create different practical questions. We discuss temporary housing, carrying costs, storage, pets, work, and how much uncertainty you can tolerate. I coordinate the real estate plan; your lender and other advisers confirm the financial and legal details that apply to you.
03
Make the handoffs visible.
A useful plan names who is handling each piece and when the next update is needed. That includes the other agent, lender, title or closing professional, inspectors, and movers. I want you to know what we are waiting on and what you need to decide.
04
Give the plan a fallback.
A delay can affect more than the closing date. We talk through where you would stay, how belongings would be handled, and who needs an update if the sequence changes. Any occupancy or timing arrangement needs to be reviewed and documented with the appropriate professionals.
