Everyone’s timeline is different. Being "ready" usually means you have a stable financial picture, a sense of the area you want to live in, and you're prepared to make decisions with the right guidance. We’re happy to talk it through with you—no pressure, just honest advice based on your goals.

Absolutely. Coordinating a sale and purchase can feel tricky, but we do it all the time. We'll help you build a plan that keeps things as smooth as possible, balancing timing, offers, and options that protect your interests on both sides.
