We work with families with homes at all price points at Dwell Home Team, from moderately priced homes to more expensive homes and everything in between.
This is one of the most common questions we get. The first step of the home-buying process is to assess your financial readiness. This essentially means checking your credit score, calculating your budget, and saving for a down payment if you haven’t already.
This foundational step will help you prepare for the next crucial step: pre-approval. Organized finances and a pre-approval letter help demonstrate to agents and sellers that you’re a serious buyer.

This is another one of the most common questions we get as real estate agents. The answer is, it depends. Deciding whether you buy or sell your home first should be based on YOUR finances and moving timeline, not another homeowner’s.
You should sell first if… you need to access your current home equity to buy your new home, or you want to avoid a rushed sale. Selling first allows you to wait until you’ve received an offer you’re satisfied with.
You should buy first if… you want to secure the home you love or control your moving timeline. Buying first avoids the stress of trying to align a purchase and sale perfectly.
