Why Far Northwest Austin buyers work with me
I've lived in Northwest Austin since 1976, and much of my recent business has been along the Parmer and 183 corridors as buyers follow the jobs north. When I run both sides of a move, the dates line up because one person is planning them. In Far Northwest Austin, many similar homes can be listed at once, so pricing and presentation decide which one buyers choose.
How I handle it in Far Northwest Austin
- Sell first to free up equity, with a possible short stay after closing negotiated with the buyer.
- Buy first to move once, with a bridge loan or line of credit your lender can price.
- A sale contingency, written well, when the market allows it.
- One plan for both homes. How I sell and how I help you buy.
