Buy first or sell first - San Diego home

Should You Buy First or Sell First?

One of the most common questions San Diego homeowners ask me is:

“Should I buy my next home first… or sell my current one first?”

The Truth: Both Options Have Risks

  • If you buy first – You could end up owning two homes and juggling two mortgages. Not ideal.
  • If you sell first, you risk being homeless, moving twice, or settling for a house you don’t really want to avoid being in limbo.

So what’s the solution?

The Guaranteed Sale Program

That’s precisely why I created my Guaranteed Sale Program.

  • We guarantee that we’ll find you a new home before you sell your current one.
  • We coordinate the timing so you close both escrows seamlessly.
  • In some cases, we’ll even structure a second check on the sale of your home, allowing you to maximize your equity.

This way, you avoid the “Catch-22” of buying and selling in the wrong order. You won’t have to worry about double mortgages, moving twice, or being a contingent buyer that sellers reject.
