SHOULD I BUY A HOME OR SELL MY HOME FIRST?
Should I Buy or Sell My Home First?
This is the age old question and the single most asked question among downsizing, upsizing or relocating home owners.  The answer is mostly sell first but it really depends on your financial position and whether you can qualify for a mortgage without selling your home or whether you have enough money in the bank to pay for your new home without selling your current one first.  I very rarely meet homeowners who are in either situation, then the answer is list your home for sale with an attractive price, then start looking for a new home.  You can always make your contract contingent on selling your home first, and you can always make the contract you receive on your home contingent upon finding a home of choice.  The best advice, however, is hire an experienced agent (like myself) that has experience in these situations to guide you through the process.
