Move Up Seller

Traditional House

This might be the first time you have to coordinate a house sale as you contemplate a purchase of a new home. There is more to plan in this scenario, but people do it every day so don’t get overwhelmed with the possibilities. The Compass Group can provide the answers and guide you through the process of selling your current home.

  • If you are buying a new home, have you spoken to a Loan Originator so you understand your financial options? Can you buy without selling first?

  • You need to understand the options you have as a seller when it comes to timing the closings? Ask for a delay for occupancy or the option of renting back from the buyers?

  • Is a house sale contingency ever acceptable as a buyer or seller?

  • Review strategies to encourage a successful, on time closing.

  • Prepare your home so it presents itself in a positive light to current buyers.

  • Worried about how to get started?
