TIPS FOR BUYING AND SELLING A HOME AT THE SAME TIME

STEP 1: Talk to your lender. As you

look for a new home, you need to stay in contact with your lender and get prequalified or pre-approved for a new loan and have a clear understanding of your budget. You don't want to waste time looking at homes out of your price range.

You can attempt to qualify for a new loan while carrying your original loan (if you have enough cash) or qualify based on a "pending sale" status. Your current mortgage would not be included; only the new one would be used to determine how much you can borrow. (This is a contingency based on the pending sale of your current home).

STEP 2: Find and work with and experienced Realtor®!

When dealing with 2 properties, it is crucial that everyone stays on top of deadlines and requirements. "MY JOB" would be to ensure that this happens.
