Default Re: Purchasing Before Selling

As a real estate broker I can tell you that the sorriest people I ever had to deal with were those who bought firm without selling their house. Talk about sleepless nights, bridge loans and second mortgages.

If money is a concern, definitely sell first and then buy. If money is not a concern, this is a great time to purchase in TV. Go for it!

As far as your present property goes, all houses sell if priced property, reflecting current market conditions. A lot of owners are just plain overpriced for the market. If you are willing to accept market value for your home, you will have no problem selling.

Once you sell your home, you will know exactly how much money you have to spend. You can negotiate owners down in TV, buy firm, and get a bargain.

Good luck!
