As described yesterday, sometimes you might have to think about whether you are willing to move twice.
If you'd really rather not move twice -- but you need to sell in order to buy -- and it will be harder to find something to buy than it will be to sell -- so you don't want to list your current home for sale until your future home appears...
Then maybe, just maybe, we need to think about timing and sequencing a bit differently.
Instead of this...
- Look for your next house.
- Find your next house.
- Meet at your current house to talk about pricing and preparations.
- Make final preparations to your house.
- Photograph your house.
- List your house for sale.
Maybe it needs to be this...
- Meet at your current house to talk about pricing and preparations.
- Make final preparations to your house.
- Photograph your house.
- Look for your next house.
- Find your next house.
- List your house for sale.
By changing around the sequence (preparing and photographing your current home ahead of time) we will be ready to list your home almost *instantly* when a home comes on the market that you are excited to pursue.
So -- give it some thought -- would re-ordering the steps as described above make sense for your situation? Would it allow you to more quickly move towards a successful transition from one house to the next?
