SHOULD YOU BUY FIRST? OR SELL FIRST?
Learn how to buy the home you want when you already own the one you have!
Tim Coen — Broker and Owner of Priority Home Realty Group
You own the house you have, but you want or need to move to somewhere else.
HOW DO YOU GET FROM WHERE YOU ARE TO WHERE YOU WANT OR NEED TO BE?
YOU HAVE SEVERAL OPTIONS TO CHOOSE FROM
There’s no right or wrong order, but each of the options has pros and cons for you to consider.
LET’S CONSIDER THE OPTIONS AND FIND THE STRATEGY THAT FITS YOUR UNIQUE SITUATION AND NEEDS BEST!
YOU COULD BUY THE HOME YOU WANT, AND KEEP YOUR CURRENT HOUSE AS AN INVESTMENT
(if you can qualify to buy without selling)
You could focus on finding the home you love, and move into it when you are ready, then use the current house in the way that benefits you most—as a second home, as a short-term rental, or as a long-term rental.
YOU COULD BUY THE HOME YOU WANT FIRST, THEN SELL YOUR CURRENT HOUSE
(if you can qualify to buy before you've sold)
You could move smoothly to your new house, then clean the old one and sell it without interruptions to your life or the hassles of keeping things clean and ready to show.
But you would own both homes for a little while, which might feel stressful.
YOU COULD SELL YOUR CURRENT HOUSE FIRST, THEN BUY THE HOME YOU WANT
(if you can’t qualify to buy before you sell, or you prefer to be more cautious)
You would know exactly how much money you have available to spend on the new home, and you wouldn’t have to worry about making double payments or about selling delays messing up your purchase.
But you would need to move twice, which would mean finding somewhere to live in between.
YOU COULD SELL YOUR CURRENT HOUSE AND BUY YOUR NEW HOME AT THE SAME TIME
(if you can’t qualify to buy before you sell, and you prefer not to move twice)
We can look at homes while you're getting ready to sell, keep track of your favorites while we're marketing your house, then secure your favorite as soon as we have a contract to sell your house, and we'll synchronize the timing so you can close the same day and can move straight from one to the other.
But you could miss homes you love if someone else buys them before your current house sells, and you'll certainly have a busy month with lots of stress as both transactions are happening all at once, and there's always the risk that something will delay or derail your sale, which could also jeopardize your purchase.
“Tim has capably led our family through selling & buying of three homes. Through it all, he provided consistent communication, informed advice of market conditions & pricing, attention to detail for all stakeholders, and capable bid/offer management & negotiations; all with an optimistic & caring presence which exudes integrity. We have been very pleased with Tim's leadership and friendship in each situation, and look forward to his support in the future.”
YOU’LL HAVE THE BEST-POSSIBLE EXPERIENCE WHEN YOU HAVE MY HELP WITH WHICHEVER STRATEGY FITS YOU BEST

I’ll help you navigate through all the opportunities, challenges, and complexities of both projects so you can be happy with where you live and how you got there!
“Tim has helped us sell and purchase a couple of homes. Compared to other Realtors I've used, Tim is undoubtedly the most thorough, hardest working, knowledgeable and informed professional in the industry. He's been a tremendous resource for walking us through the complex home buying/selling process. He's never flinched at any of the surprises that always seem to pop up and I've always appreciated his ability to help protect my best interests. Tim will make the process as smooth as humanly possible and you'll finish with the confidence that you DID NOT leave ‘money on the table’.”

The first step toward successfully getting from the house you have to the home you want is to EXPLORE MORE ABOUT CHANGING HOMES!
“We loved working with Tim. Not only did he get our sold for a great price and in a timely manner, he helped us buy the perfect home for our growing family. It was amazing how God opened the right house for us at the right time, and it helped to work with Tim who helped us remember to rely on God during the sometimes challenging roller coaster of selling and buying a home at the same time.”
