Selling and Buying: How We Help You Navigate it All
1. Personalized Strategy, From Day One
We always start with a deep dive into your goals. Are you upsizing, downsizing, changing school districts, or seeking a new lifestyle? We map your needs, timeframes, and financial priorities so the selling and buying processes are truly aligned—not rushed or random.
2. Accurate Valuation, Strong Positioning
Before listing, Shaina provides a market-driven price analysis, highlighting your home’s prime value. We recommend strategic upgrades, staging, and professional photos, so your property stands out for the best buyers—while maximizing your proceeds for the next purchase.
3. “Buy-Then-Sell” or “Sell-Then-Buy”: Your Options Explained
Buy contingent on your sale: We can negotiate for a “home sale contingency,” meaning you only commit to your new home if your current one closes successfully.
Sell first, then buy: If you need your equity for the next purchase, we manage negotiations to either coordinate closings or provide temporary housing solutions. We can help with post-settlement occupancy (where you stay in your sold home for a few extra days until your new purchase closes), or align both closings for a smooth, no-gap transition.
4. Pre-Approval and Financial Prep
You’ll work with Shaina’s vetted local lenders to get preapproved, ensuring a firm buying budget and extra leverage when negotiating a purchase—even while your home is on the market.
5. Negotiation, Deadlines, and Contingencies—Handled
Our team coordinates both deals, managing every deadline, contingency, and contract to minimize risk and stress. We’re skilled at timing your sale and purchase to minimize double-moves, double-mortgages, and other hassles.
6. Communication and Support—From List to Closing
We keep you informed at every step. You’ll know when offers come in, how buyer activity is trending, and how to move seamlessly between your two homes. Shaina proactively solves challenges, answers every question, and makes sure your transition is as smooth—and enjoyable—as possible.
