What to Do If You Need to Sell Before You Buy

Many Omaha homeowners are ready to move—but need to sell their current home first. Here’s how to manage both sides of the transaction smoothly.

Your Options

• Sell First, Then Buy: Safer financially, but requires short-term housing or a flexible closing.

• Buy First, Then Sell: Possible with enough equity or a bridge loan, but adds risk.

• Contingent Offers: Include a clause saying your purchase depends on selling your home (less competitive in hot markets).

Our Advice

• Get your home market-ready ASAP

• Understand your equity and loan options

• Work with an agent who knows how to time both deals together

Conclusion

With the right planning, you don’t have to feel stuck.

Let’s talk strategy and make your move as smooth as possible—on both ends.
