Summary: You have 3 options

1. Find and buy a home first then sell

This is the least utilized option because many people are unable to qualify and buy a home before selling their house. However, if you can, this is the best option. This is because you have a better chance of winning the home you want.

2. Put your house on the market, close, then become the tenant

Preparing your home, pricing the home, and positioning your home will bring in the most possible buyers which gives you the chance to work with a buyer who can lease the property back to you up to 2 months. This makes you a stronger buyer because your offer will not be contingent upon the sale of your home. 

3. Write a contingent offer upon your house selling

This is the most desired but least successful. This is because when you're competing against buyers and submitting offers on houses with motivated sellers, the sellers will choose another offer. This will make the process very frustrating for you when you keep losing on houses.

Thank you all for your help!

Colleen, Paul and Elena,

Thank you for all of your help in selling my brother’s house at 1008 Becker.  Penny Farrall told me she had located a good realtor for me and she was so on target.

It is hard selling a piece of property that isn’t yours, is filled with stuff and is 2,000 miles away.  You all made it so much easier.

Paul – you were spot on with the sales price and marketing.  There were so many offers to choose from.

Elena – I appreciated all of your communication with me throughout the process as well as checking on the vacant house from time to time.

Colleen – we had the most interaction with each other over the last several months.  I so appreciated your calm, knowledgeable approach as you guided me through the various legs of the journey.

Sincerely,

Beverly Sitton

We listed our home with the Tosello team on a Thursday and we had a signed contract by Saturday evening. Now, by any measure, this was an outstanding achievement. However for us, even more amazing than the speed of the sale, was the the professional and efficient way the Tosello team, all of them, carried out their activities. They said exactly what they will do and they did exactly what they said, all in a very courteous, friendly and laid-back manner. Thank you so much TEAM TOSELLO for making the selling process so pleasant and stress free. The Banats
