Selling one home and buying the next is the hardest timing problem in real estate. Alexander Brandau IV represents both sides of your move so the sale, the purchase and the money between them line up, and you are not left carrying two homes or moving twice.
The order of operations matters more than the price of either house. Alex plans the whole sequence before either home goes under contract.
Alex works with your lender to see what you can buy before your current home sells and what you need from the sale, so every decision after that is grounded in real numbers.
Sell first, buy first, or close both on the same day. Each has trade-offs in risk, cost and convenience, and Alex lays them out for your situation.
That can mean a home-sale contingency on the purchase, a lease-back so you stay in your home after closing, or flexible closing dates on both sides.
Your home is prepared, priced and marketed to sell on the schedule the purchase needs, not just for the highest number on a calendar that does not work.
One agent, one plan, and one set of dates, with Alex and his transaction team coordinating lenders, title companies and movers across both deals.
Selling first gives you certainty about your budget and a stronger offer, but you may need temporary housing. Buying first avoids a double move but can mean carrying two mortgages. The right answer depends on your equity, your lender and how competitive the homes you want are.
It is a clause that lets you cancel a purchase if your current home does not sell by an agreed date. It protects you, but sellers often prefer offers without it, especially in sought-after neighborhoods. Alex will tell you when it is likely to be accepted.
A lease-back lets you sell your home and keep living in it for an agreed period after closing, usually as a short-term rental from the buyer. It is one of the most useful tools for making the two closings line up.
Often, yes, through bridge financing or other lender options. Ask your lender which programs fit, and compare the cost against waiting to sell. Alex can introduce lenders he works with.
