How to Buy and Sell at the Same Time

A lot of my clients have been asking me whether they should buy a home first or sell a home first. This is a catch-22 in the real estate business, but we always recommend the same thing to our clients. 

We always recommend to our clients that they put their homes on the market before they start looking to purchase. Once your home is on the market, then you can start your search, because the rubber will already be on the road by that point. 

If you find a home that you like before you find someone to purchase yours, then make sure that you write in contingencies into your offer so that you have a buyer for your home when you go to purchase another. If you have a good real estate agent, they can ensure that you secure terms that are advantageous to you. 

Usually my team and I can get your home sold at the same time that you purchase another one. We've dealt with transactions like this before, and it just takes some planning and organization. If you're in need of a capable agent in Corpus Christi, please don't hesitate to contact me!
