The Sheaborhood · Selling and Buying Your Next Home
Trading Up to a Home in the Sheaborhood
Trading up from your current home, with the sale and the purchase planned to support each other.
Moving up to the Sheaborhood
Move-up buyers often come to the Sheaborhood for what their current home lacks: a bigger lot, mature trees, room for a pool or workshop and a central location. The challenge is timing the sale of your current home with a purchase here.

One plan for two transactions
We start with what your current home is likely to sell for and what you will walk away with, then decide with your lender whether to sell first, buy first or line them up. I am an Associate Broker with Coldwell Banker Realty and handle both sides of the plan. More: trading up.
Evaluating a bigger home
A larger, older home can come with larger maintenance items. We look closely at the systems and any past additions or remodels before you commit, so the move up does not come with surprises.
