Most homeowners are handed a number and left to figure out the rest. We build the whole plan first, and the number is only one line of it.
See how it worksBefore you tour a single house, two things decide everything: what you can comfortably afford, and how the timing of both transactions works together. Two minutes on how that actually goes.
What your home would sell for today, from the sales an appraiser will actually use.
What is left after the payoff and the costs, on closing day and after.
What the next place costs once the financing is in it, not before.
Whether your equity still covers a rental property on top.
Sometimes the plan says go. Sometimes it says stay.
Either way you will see every number, and I will tell you which one I would do.
I build it by hand for your address, so it takes a day or two, not thirty seconds. I will call once to confirm I have the house right. That is the only call you get unless you ask for more.
