Buying and Selling at the Same Time? You’re Not Alone.
You want to scale up or scale down. Either way, you're not just doing one real estate transaction — you’re doing two.
And that? That’s a juggling act that most people are never properly prepared for.
The Real Problem Isn't What You Think
Most of the people I speak with assume the problem is:
Not enough listings. (Really means nothing has caught your eye)
Prices are too high. (What’s available isn’t worth the asking price to you).
It’s a bad time to move. (There’s a lot going on in your life or what’s available isn’t worth the effort required).
But the real issue? No one showed you how to move smart.
3 Shifts That Make All the Difference
1. Sequence Over Speed 💡
Trying to buy and sell “at the same time” is chaos. You need a sequence: sell with a flexible closing, secure a short-term rental if needed, or leverage your financing to buy first.
2. Financing Isn’t Just Mortgage Rates 💰
Have you reviewed your home equity options? Talked to a broker about bridge loans or HELOCs? A solid financial strategy changes everything. (Side note: at the time of this blog there is still the threat of tariffs and navigating new trade agreements and interprovincial trade barriers).
3. Clarity = Confidence 🧠
If you’re not sure what you want in your next home, how will you know when you find it? My workbook walks you through how to define your “right size.”

If you're thinking of moving, let’s talk strategy before you make a mistake that costs you time, money, or peace of mind.
