Homeowner guide
Sell and move as one connected plan.
The decision is not simply whether to sell first or buy first. It is understanding what depends on money, what depends on dates and which backup you need if a closing shifts.
Sell + Move Plan
Three possible routes. One calendar that needs to work as a whole.
Choose the sentence closest to your situation to organize a first conversation. You do not need to share an address, price or personal details.
Choose a starting point.
Your route will appear here. There is no universal right order—the useful starting point is the constraint that matters most to your move.
The process
A checklist that protects the strategy.
- 01
Clarify timing and the next move
Sale, possession and your next purchase need to work as one plan. Ask your lender about mortgage payout or penalties, porting and bridge financing when relevant.
- 02
Gather the property story
Organize improvements, warranties, permits, the Real Property Report and condominium documents you have. Ask your real estate professional and lawyer what applies to your situation.
- 03
Review condition honestly
Separate visible maintenance from matters that need contractors, inspection or legal advice. Do not hide or diagnose significant issues yourself; document and ask.
- 04
Prioritize instead of renovating by reflex
Compare cost, time and likely impact before taking action. Some basics improve the experience; a major renovation does not guarantee its cost will be recovered.
- 05
Prepare presentation and access
Organize, clean, reduce distractions and plan how the home will look and flow. Align photography, showings and family constraints before launch.
- 06
Align price, launch and negotiation
Pricing needs market evidence and context—not an automatic number. Review strategy, terms, conditions, possession and closing as parts of one decision.
