How to Juggle Buying & Selling Timelines When Moving in Jonesboro

When should you list your house if you plan on buying another house in the same area? This is a question I've received a lot from people here in the Jonesboro market recently.

I always tell people that we can find you a house 12 hours a day, seven days a week. However, when it comes to marketing and selling your current house, there's really only so much we can do as far as timelines go. Once we get your home listed and exposed to the market in every way, shape, and form, it's up to the buyers.
We can find a home any time, but selling your current home is up to the market.
We're not going to break any buyer's arm to buy your home (which usually wouldn't help anyway) but we'll expose it to as many buyers as possible. It won't necessarily be a waiting game since we'll be constantly marketing the home, but time can be somewhat against us at this stage.

That's why I tell people to get your house on the market as soon as you're ready to do something. Then, we'll scour the market for your next home. Over the last 12 years, we've never left anybody homeless!

This is especially true if you need to sell your current house to be able to buy the next one. If you have any other questions about buying and selling a home at the same time or you're ready to get yours on the market, give me a call soon. I'd love to help you out!
