Their Situation

Jerry and Barb were ready to upgrade from their townhome to a single-family home. They loved the character of this large Golden townhome and its location on the north side of Green Mountain, but they weren't going to settle for just anything on the buy side. They needed to find the right home first — without the pressure of their current home already being on the market.

What Made This Complex

The timing problem is one of the most stressful parts of a move-up sale. Sell first, and you risk being homeless or settling for a home you don't love. Buy first, and you're carrying two mortgages. Jerry and Barb needed a way to search for their dream home on their own timeline, move at their own pace, and still get top dollar when it came time to list the townhome.

What We Did

The key to this sale was removing the time pressure entirely. By using the Buy Before You Sell program, Jerry and Barb found and secured their dream home in Bear Creek first. They began moving before the townhome even hit the market — which gave us the opportunity to stage it properly and showcase all 3,966 square feet of character. From there, we executed a weekend launch strategy designed to drive competitive energy. It worked.
