Sell first or buy first? Get the sequence mapped.
Moving up is mostly a sequencing problem: what to sell, when to buy, and how not to carry two homes. Send me three numbers and I map it in writing.
Where most people are stuck.
You can't buy until you sell, and can't sell until you have somewhere to go
There are more than two ways to sequence this. The playbook walks each one with the trade-offs.
You locked a low rate and don't want to lose it
Options exist that leave your current loan alone while you make the move. I'll tell you which ones fit your numbers.
Nobody has shown you the carry math
How long you could carry both homes, what it costs, and the point where it stops making sense. In writing, before you list.
Answers in writing. No pressure.
Your move, mapped
Send three numbers and I reply with the sequence I'd run, the carry math, and your financing options. No pressure, no phone tag.

No call unless you ask for one. If now isn't the time, the read tells you what to work on — free either way.
Straight answers.
Can I use my current home's equity for the next down payment?
Often, yes. A HELOC or a bridge option can unlock it before you sell. Which one fits depends on your numbers and timing, which is what the mapping is for.
Can I make an offer that depends on selling my home?
Sometimes. It depends on the market and the seller. The playbook covers how contingent offers work and when a different sequence wins.
Will you tell me if waiting is the smarter move?
Yes. If the carry math doesn't work or the timing is wrong, I'll say so and tell you what would change it.
Want your real numbers?
No credit pull to start. Tell me what you're trying to do and I'll show you the payment, the cash to close and your best two or three options.
