Secure Your Dream Home Before It’s Gone

Buy Before You Sell: A Smarter Way to Move in Today’s Market

For many homeowners, the biggest hurdle in buying a new home isn’t finding the right place—it’s figuring out how to buy it before your current home sells. That’s where the Buy Before You Sell program comes in.

Backed by our lending partner George Makoutz, this modern bridge solution helps you unlock the equity in your current home—before it’s sold—so you can make a strong, contingency-free offer on your next home.

Here’s how it works:

 What Is It?

A 0% interest bridge loan (called an Equity Unlock) that allows you to borrow against your current home’s equity for the down payment on your new home—before you sell.

 Key Benefits:

• Make non-contingent offers (more attractive to sellers)

• Access up to 70% CLTV of your current home’s value

• Remove your current mortgage from your debt-to-income ratio

• Sell your old home at full market value after you’ve moved

 Requirements at a Glance:

• Homes must be owner-occupied, residential, and in good condition (no major defects or active renovations)

• No FHA, VA, reverse mortgages, or tenant-occupied properties

• Not eligible for log homes, non-warrantable condos, or age-restricted communities

• Properties must be listed under 150 days, with an expected DOM under 90

 What It Costs:

• A 2.4% transaction fee, paid upon the sale of your current home

• Minimum fees apply if your home is valued under $375K

What You’ll Need:

• Quick loan and agent questionnaires

• Property photos

• 24-hour full approval possible once documents are submitted

If you’re ready to make a move without the stress of selling first, this program could be your perfect solution.
