Real Estate - Jerry Downer - Stone Estate Group

Let's look at each of these in a little more detail.

These are not to be construed as "one size fits all". Your individual circumstances should always be weighed against the pros and cons of each program. As professional real estate consultants we are always willing to discuss the qualities of each as they pertain to your needs so that you can make the most informed decision.

Traditional Sell Before You Buy (13 major steps)

Rent a storage unit for excess furniture and other "clutter" items
Work with your Realtor to prepare current home for sale possibly including cleaning, repairs, paint, flooring
List your home for sale with your Realtor keeping it clean and "showing ready" at all times
Leave the home for every showing
Receive and evaluate offers for current home
Accept offer and change status to "Offer Pending"
During this Pending time, your Realtor will be working on negotiations regarding inspections, title issues, HOA issues, and required disclosures
Start looking for your next home with your Realtor
Find a possible next home and make a contingent offer for it
*** note that sellers do not like contingent offers and will probably demand that either a) the contingency be removed, or b) a backup offer from some other buyer could be moved into primary position ***
**** also note that sellers will have the advantage in any negotiation if offer has contingent sale clause. This would include Inspection Objection, Title Objection, and contract dates ****
Assuming that your offer is accepted for next home, work through Inspections and contract dates.
Close escrow on current home
Move out of your current home. You might need to arrange for storage until next home closes escrow. You might be homeless for a while if Closing dates do not align, so be sure to have temporary housing arrangements in place.
Close escrow on next home and move in.

Option #2 - Cash+

Receive an instant, full market-value cash offer on your home. Ensure you get the upside of the market with 2 payouts!

Skip the Listing and Sell with Certainty and Convenience

Here's how it works:

1. A full home inspection is completed.

2. You pick your close date. Close as fast as 21 days or up to 120.

3. The Buyer holds on average 18% of your equity as a "temporary reserve".

4. Move out and get your first cash payout.

5. Home is resold on the market.

6a. Get your 2nd payout Scenario 1: When the home is resold, if it sells for more than the original offer amount, the reserve balance is returned, along with any upside of the open market.

6b. Get your 2nd payout Scenario 2: When the home is resold, if it sells for less than the original offer amount, the difference is backed out of the reserve, and the remaining portion of the reserve is returned.

Buy Before You Sell, or BBYS, is the preferred system for people who are wary of the uncertainty that comes with the Traditional method.

The uncertainty occurs at multiple stages of the selling process (which can take as long as 3 months or longer in some cases):
- If I have a home purchase in mind, will it be available when my home finally sells?
- In this buyer's market, will I get enough from the sale of my current home to buy my next home?
- If my current home needs some cleanup or fixup, have I done enough to attract buyers?
- A buyer made an offer. Will they actually Close? Will they ask for too many Inspection Objection repairs? What if I don't agree to fix them all...will they cancel?
- I want to make an offer to buy my next home, but it is contingent on the sale of my current home. Will the seller accept an offer from someone else, someone who is non-contingent?
- How will I keep my home clean and presentable for showings that can occur any time, any day?
- Do I really want to wait 3, 4, 5, or even 6 months before I can move into my next home?
- Am I really able to make mortgage payments on 2 homes while I'm waiting for my home to sell?
- I might need to find temporary living arrangements if Closing Dates don't align perfectly, rent a storage unit for a while, and move twice.
  
  Am I, or is my family comfortable with that?
