Buying a new home while selling your current one is one of the trickiest parts of real estate—especially for families, pets, and anyone who doesn’t want to live in a storage unit for three months.

In this episode of Beyond the Front Porch, Marya Heidel and Laura Mauelshagen from eXp Realty break down every single option so you can choose the one that fits your life, your timing, and your finances.

🌟 We cover:
1️⃣ Traditional Move

Sell the current home → move to an apartment → buy the next home → move again.
The most stressful option: showings, pets, nonstop cleaning, double moves.

2️⃣ Perfectly Timed Move

When everything lines up just right.
Buy first, close on your new home a week before selling the old one.
Includes: leasebacks, buying with contingencies, tight timing.

3️⃣ Bridge Loans

Use equity before you sell.
Pros: flexibility.
Cons: high fees, tight timing, recasting requirements.

4️⃣ Buy Before You Sell (on your own)

Best-case scenario—if you qualify for two mortgages.
Pros: less stress, no showings while you live there.
Cons: higher cost, can’t access equity right away.

5️⃣ Buy Before You Sell Program (Power Buyer Option)

– Access your equity upfront
– No double mortgage
– Guaranteed sale
– If your home sells for more, you keep the difference
– Higher fees, still pay utilities, but MUCH less stress
– No buyer agent needed for the purchase

Whether you’re in Denton, Corinth, Shady Shores, Lake Dallas, or anywhere in the DFW Metroplex, this episode helps you understand your options and avoid the chaos.
