Buy First. Move Once. Sell After.
Your Next Home Shouldn't Have to Wait for Your Current One to Sell.
Buying your next home while selling your current one doesn't have to mean juggling two complicated transactions on your own. Real Deal Home Offers helps homeowners explore financing solutions, coordinate their next purchase, and manage the sale of their departing property through an established network of participating lenders, investors, and real estate professionals. Our goal is simple: help you move forward with a clear plan, less uncertainty, and more flexibility.
What's Holding Up Your Next Move?
Most homeowners who feel stuck fall into one of these three situations. See which one sounds like yours.
I Can't Qualify With Two Mortgage Payments
You may have the income to afford your next home but struggle to qualify because your existing mortgage payment is included in your debt-to-income calculation.
Certain lender programs may allow qualifying homeowners to exclude their departing residence's housing payment from the new mortgage qualification calculation. This depends on underwriting and the applicable program requirements.
My Equity Is Tied Up in My Current Home
You may have substantial equity but need some of that equity to fund the down payment or closing costs on your next home.
Participating lenders may offer bridge financing, HELOCs, or other equity-access solutions that help eligible homeowners access funds before their existing property sells. These are separate financing products with their own costs and repayment obligations.
I Need Both Financing Help and a Plan to Sell
Some homeowners need assistance with mortgage qualification, equity access, moving logistics, and the sale of their current property — all at once.
Real Deal helps coordinate a comprehensive strategy involving participating lenders, approved contractual arrangements, and a planned disposition of the departing property.
One Coordinated Plan. From Your Current Home to Your Next One.
Real Deal uses established agreements already approved by participating lenders and investors for its Move First workflow.
Step 1 — Tell Us About Your Goals
We learn about your current property, estimated equity, existing mortgage, preferred moving timeline, and next-home goals. We identify the challenges preventing you from moving forward.
Step 2 — Explore Your Financing Options
Real Deal coordinates introductions to participating lending partners who evaluate applicable mortgage qualification and equity-access programs. Possible solutions include purchase-backstop programs, bridge loans, HELOCs, and other available financing options. Lending decisions remain with the lender.
Step 3 — Develop Your Move First Strategy
Once the available financing and transaction options are understood, Real Deal helps coordinate a plan covering the purchase of your next home, your moving timeline, the existing property's selling strategy, estimated sale proceeds and transaction costs, and responsibilities and contractual arrangements. Real Deal uses established agreements already approved by participating lenders and investors for its applicable Move First workflow.
Step 4 — Buy Your Next Home and Move
Qualifying homeowners may be able to purchase their replacement property before selling their existing home. This can provide greater flexibility when coordinating moving dates and preparing the departing property for sale.
Step 5 — Sell Your Departing Property
Real Deal coordinates and executes the agreed selling strategy for the departing property through its approved transaction arrangements. Depending on the property and agreement, this may involve a coordinated resale strategy, qualified investor and buyer networks, licensed local real estate professionals, MLS exposure where appropriate, property preparation and marketing, and contract coordination and closing.
More Ways to Buy Before You Sell.
Real Deal coordinates the real estate strategy while participating lending partners handle financing qualification and loan origination.
Mortgage Qualification Support
Some homeowners are unable to qualify for their next mortgage because their existing housing payment remains part of their debt-to-income calculation. Certain lender programs use a qualifying investor-backed purchase agreement for the departing property that may allow the existing housing payment to be excluded from the new mortgage qualification calculation.
- A potential selling window of up to 180 days
- Minimum equity requirements
- Applicable down-payment and underwriting requirements
- Compatibility with certain conventional, jumbo, and VA financing options
- Program fees determined by the lender's current terms
This program does not provide a cash advance against home equity. Specific eligibility requirements, fees, and program details are determined by the lender.
Equity Access
Some homeowners need funds from their existing property before they can purchase their next home. Participating lending partners may evaluate bridge financing, home equity lines of credit, home equity loans, and other qualifying equity-access solutions.
- Bridge financing
- Home equity lines of credit (HELOCs)
- Home equity loans
- Other qualifying equity-access solutions
These programs are separate from the qualification program above and may have different eligibility requirements, costs, repayment schedules, and risks.
Combined Financing and Selling Strategy
For homeowners who need both qualification assistance and a coordinated property sale, Real Deal can help develop a Move First plan using its existing lender- and investor-approved transaction arrangements. Real Deal coordinates the real estate strategy while lending partners handle financing qualification and loan origination.
- Coordinated qualification and sale timeline
- Established lender- and investor-approved arrangements
- One team managing the transition
- A clear plan from purchase through disposition
Real Deal coordinates the real estate strategy; lending partners handle financing qualification and loan origination.
Real Deal Home Offers is a real estate solutions company, not the originating mortgage lender. Loan products, underwriting, fees, and availability are determined by the participating lender.
Real Situations. Coordinated Solutions.
These illustrative examples show how the Move First strategy can address different homeowner needs. They are hypothetical examples, not completed transactions.
Ready to Buy, But the Current Mortgage Is Holding Things Up
A family has found its next home but cannot qualify comfortably while the mortgage payment on its existing property is included in underwriting.
A participating lender evaluates a qualifying purchase-backstop arrangement that may help the homeowner qualify for the new mortgage. Real Deal coordinates the departing property's sale strategy under the applicable approved agreements.
The family may be able to purchase and move before completing the sale of its existing home.
Plenty of Equity, Not Enough Available Cash
A homeowner has significant equity in the current property but needs funds for the down payment on the replacement home.
A lending partner evaluates available equity-access financing. Real Deal coordinates the planned sale of the departing property and the transaction timeline.
The homeowner may be able to access qualifying financing and move before the original property sells.
A Complete Move First Strategy
A homeowner wants to purchase a new property, move without rushing, and avoid managing the entire selling process alone.
Real Deal helps coordinate financing options, the replacement-home timeline, and the disposition of the departing property through established contractual arrangements.
A coordinated process with one real estate solutions team helping manage the transition.
These scenarios are illustrative examples to show how different situations may be addressed. They are not completed case studies, and no figures are guaranteed. Actual outcomes depend on your qualifications, financing, and the signed agreement for your transaction.
