If you Sell first - what if you don't find a home you like in time?
If you Buy first - what happens if the market changes and your home does not sell?
You don't want to be stuck carrying two homes. Two mortages. Two sets of bills! Or even worse, end up getting sued by one of the other parties because now they cannot move either!

BUT - planning and making this decision is a VERY important one to ensure it goes smoothly. This will depend on a few factors...
1. Your finances
2. The market conditions
3. Your family situation
4. Your moving timeline

We are here to help you through these decisions and plan a successful and stress-free move.
