I love today's question! "When I'm selling my home and buying a new one, how do I line up the dates and make sure that everything goes smoothly so I dont end up having to move my stuff twice?"
I know it sounds like a lot to think about, let me break it down so that it doesn't seem as daunting. There are 2 main dates to think about for each transaction: the notary date and the occupancy date. A minimum of 48 hours between the sale of your current home and the purchase of your new home is required for the funds to go through. I suggest leaving anywhere between 3-5 days between each transaction.
Another way to help facilitate this process is to use the same notary as the person purchasing your property.
Don't wait until it's too late and you end up having to move into your in-laws' home for a short period of time.
