Selling Then Buying: How the Process Can Work in Harmony

Selling your current home while preparing to buy your next one can feel overwhelming. Timing, finances, and the fear of being “stuck between homes” often weigh heavily on buyers and sellers. The good news? With the right strategy—and the right team—selling and buying can work together in perfect harmony.

At The Via Domus Team of William Raveis Real Estate, we help Connecticut homeowners make this transition smooth, seamless, and stress-free. Here’s how we structure the process so both sides of the move align.

1. Start with a Strategic Plan

Every successful move begins with a clear plan. Whether you’re upsizing, downsizing, or relocating, we’ll help you set realistic goals and build a customized timeline that aligns your sale and purchase.

We’ll guide you through:

  • Determining the ideal listing price and timing for your current home.

  • Getting pre-approved for your next mortgage.

  • Identifying your “must-haves” and “non-negotiables” early in the process.

Laying this foundation gives you flexibility and confidence when the right opportunities arise.

2. Coordinated Closings and Flexible Options

One of the biggest concerns is: “What if I sell before I find my next home?” That’s where our expertise comes in. Depending on your situation, we may explore:

  • Extended Closings – Allowing extra time between contracts.

  • Use & Occupancy Agreements – Staying in your home for a short period after closing.

  • Home Sale Contingencies – Making your new purchase contingent on selling your current home.

  • Bridge Loans or Equity Access – Leveraging your current equity to purchase before you sell.

These tools help you transition without unnecessary stress.

3. Focused Home Search

While your current home is being prepped for market, we’re already searching for your next property. We:

  • Monitor new listings daily.

  • Provide early access to homes as soon as they hit the market.

  • Tap into our professional network for off-market opportunities.

This ensures you’re never behind the curve—especially in competitive markets.

4. Communication Is Everything

When you’re both selling and buying, there are many moving parts. We act as the central hub, coordinating communication with attorneys, mortgage lenders, home inspectors, and agents on both sides of the transaction. This proactive approach prevents surprises and ensures no detail gets overlooked.

5. Why It Works with The Via Domus Team

With decades of combined experience and a proven track record of award-winning service, we’ve guided countless clients through this exact process. Our expertise allows us to anticipate challenges, protect your best interests, and align your sale and purchase for maximum peace of mind.

You don’t have to navigate this alone—we make sure selling and buying works for you, not against you.

Final Thought

Buying and selling at the same time doesn’t need to be overwhelming. With the right planning, professional guidance, and creative solutions, you can move seamlessly from one chapter of life to the next.
