How to Make the Safe Move

When the prospect of selling your home arises, it's normal to experience a mix of emotions. Excitement, happiness, and a sense of achievement are all common—but so is fear.

One of the biggest concerns home sellers face is the fear of not having somewhere to move to after their property sells. It’s a valid concern, and for many, it can even delay the decision to sell in the first place.

At Peter Lees Real Estate, we understand this fear. That’s why we created a simple, four-step strategy called The Safe Move—designed to give you the confidence to sell, without the risk of ending up without a home.

Step 1: Find a Buyer for Your Current Home

Most people think the first step should be finding the new home. But in reality, knowing how much your current property will sell for—and when—is crucial before you start making offers on a new place.
Here’s the key: finding a buyer doesn’t mean rushing to sign a contract. Many buyers are happy to wait while you secure your next home. We can even include special clauses in your contract that make the sale conditional upon you purchasing a new property—so you're fully protected.

Step 2: Find Your New Home

Now that your budget and timeline are clear, you can confidently start the search for your next home. With fewer unknowns, this step becomes far more enjoyable.

Step 3: Match Your Finances

At this stage, Peter Lees Real Estate will assist you in negotiating the terms and price of your new home. We ensure the purchase aligns with your sale timeline and financial comfort, creating a smooth transition.

Step 4: Finalise Both Sales

Now it’s time to sign contracts and complete the legal transactions. With both deals coordinated and secure, you can move forward without fear or stress.

The Safe Move is a proven strategy that brings clarity and peace of mind to your selling journey. If you're feeling anxious about the idea of selling before you've secured your next home, the team at Peter Lees Real Estate is here with a solution that works.
