3 tips for move-up buyers
1) Find out how much equity you have in your current home, which you'll use as a down payment for your next home. We can help you determine your current home's value (and equity), and recommend simple solutions for increasing your home's value further.
2) Meet with a trusted, local lender. We recommend working with a local mortgage expert who will help you tap into your home's equity, while identifying solutions that will allow you to write a competitive and clean offer. Contact us for a personalized referral to a trusted local lender.
3) Be proactive about preparing your home for sale. You'll want to be ready to sell your current home when your new dream home hits the market. With our hands-on approach, we'll help you move quickly through your home repairs, cosmetic touch-ups, decluttering, and staging.
You're likely to have questions, so reach out whenever you're ready for a helpful planning session. Together, we'll create a timeline and a clear set of next steps. Our planning sessions are always free of charge and come with no obligation.
