“Before preparing your home for sale, I get my clients preapproved through our trusted mortgage lender. This way, they will know exactly what they can afford on their next home as well as finding out if they can buy first or if they need to sell first. Once this process is complete, we then prepare their home for sale.”
Dealing with an agent that has the connections to simplify the buying and selling process like this can take a lot of the stress out of moving. The window of time in which a seller may have to carry two mortgages is significantly reduced and so is the financial strain.
In the book, the simple answer given to the question of whether or not you should use the same agent for selling and buying is “Yes”. Whenever possible, it’s better to use the same agent for both deals. If someone is selling a home and moving to the other side of the country this may not be possible, but if they’re staying in the same area it’s the best idea.
Using one broker simplifies the process as the seller of your home already understands your situation and can help you buy a home that’s right for you. They know your financial situation and you don’t have to start all over again building a relationship with a new agent.
