Buy Before You Sell

Thinking about buying your next home before selling your current one? With shifting market dynamics, this question is popping up more than ever. As days on market increase and pricing becomes more realistic, many homeowners are wondering if it’s smarter (or even possible) to buy first and sell later.

In this episode, we break down the real pros, cons, and creative financing solutions behind “buy before you sell.” From bridge loans to rental income programs, we unpack what’s available, what’s risky, and what might just make your next move way less stressful. You’ll learn why timing, preparation, and the right broker make all the difference—and how this strategy can help you sell for more, buy with confidence, and keep your sanity in the process.

We cover:

 • What’s changed in the market and why contingent offers are harder to get accepted right now

 • The truth about bridge loans—and how not all lenders offer the same options

 • How to access your home’s equity for a down payment before selling

 • Why some buyers use rental income to qualify for their next home (and the risks if done wrong)

 • The hidden upsides of buying first: stronger offers, smoother logistics, and less stress on moving day

 • How working with a mortgage broker opens up more flexible and transparent financing solutions
