Trading Up
Moving up means selling and buying at the same time, so I plan both together and work out which comes first before you commit.
What Trading Up Means in Manteca
Trading up means selling the home you have and buying a bigger one, usually at the same time. That makes two transactions with one deadline, and the hard question is which comes first: selling or buying.
How Carolyn Cardoza Helps Move-Up Buyers
I'm Carolyn Cardoza, Broker Associate and REALTOR® with Realty 1 Team, and I've helped buyers and sellers across the Central Valley since 2007. I carry a 5.0 rating across my reviews, and my license is CA DRE #00708846.
Because I handle both the sale and the purchase, you have one person planning the whole move. I'm not a slick salesperson, and if you want to sleep on the order of things, take the time.
Our Process: What You Get
- Your numbers first. I price your current home from recent sales, and your lender goes over what you're approved for next.
- One plan. Together we decide whether to sell first or buy first, using your numbers.
- The sale. Your home gets the full plan I describe on my selling process page.
- The purchase. I check comparable sales, work with your lender, and handle inspections, signing, and keys.
Frequently Asked Questions
Should I sell first or buy first?
It depends on your numbers and your timeline. We decide together, with your lender and your home's value in front of us.
Can you handle both the sale and the purchase?
Yes. I handle both, so you have one person and one plan.
How do I find out what my current home is worth?
Ask for a <a href="/sellers/home-valuation">free home value</a>. I walk your home and price it from recent sales.
