Sellers
The classic dilemma is buying your next home before selling your current one. A trade-in structure coordinates the two transactions so you can shop, bid, and move without selling first or carrying two mortgages.
This page explains how the sequence works, what it protects, and the honest conditions for when it is the right tool.
Buy forward, sell in sequence, move once.
In its simplest form, your buyer agreement includes a sale of your current home that nestles into the purchase of your next one: your equity releases at the right moment, your financing is structured across the gap, and the two closings are coordinated so you never pay two mortgages at once.
The structure rewards equity and timing: you have sellable equity in the current home, the replacement is within an achievable band, and the calendar can hold both transactions. I map the two sides and the dates before you commit to anything, so the plan comes first and the signatures second.
If your current home will sell fast, the cleanest route can be the traditional one: price it well, accept that the trade-in structure has a cost, and move in sequence. The comparison is exactly what we put on paper: trade-in certainty versus traditional economics, for your specific numbers.
