In this episode we dive into one of the biggest hurdles homeowners face when moving up or downsizing: buying your next place while still needing to sell your current one. That’s where a home-sale contingency comes in. It’s a clause that says, “I’ll buy your home—if mine sells first.”
We’ll break down when this strategy makes sense, how the process works, and what you can do to make your contingent offer stand out—even against non-contingent buyers. From prepping your current home to aligning closings or using a rent-back, we’ll cover the timing playbook, the do’s and don’ts, and the pitfalls to avoid.
By the end of this episode, you’ll know exactly how to approach a contingent purchase with confidence and why the right agent can make all the difference.
