Most agents are ever-so-quick to tell buyers you’ve “bought elsewhere” which makes buyers offer far less than they may otherwise have offered.

Here’s what you do. You sell and buy at the same time.

Here’s how a ‘Simultaneous Sell and Buy’ (as we’ll call it) gets done.

As the owner you set the terms and conditions under which you sell.

“We are putting our home for sale under the condition that we will not sign a contract to sell to any buyer until we have found another suitable home for ourselves”.

It’s less stressful and far safer than either selling first or buying first.
