A move-up is 2 transactions at once. You're a buyer and a seller, and one slip on either side can cost you the other. Many agents treat the sale and the buy as separate jobs. Our Leverage Advantage seller program pairs a wide buyer network with careful real estate pricing, so your Indio home sells strong while your next offer stays clean.
Who this is for
Moving up works best after you have built equity in your current home.
- Owners with equity in a first or second home
- Buyers chasing 5 upgrades: more room, a better lot, a gated address, a pool, and a view
How we plan your move-up
Once you are ready, three decisions come before you shop.
| Question | Why it matters |
|---|---|
| Buy first or sell first? | Keeps you off 2 mortgages at once |
| Sale contingency or bridge? | Depends on current Indio inventory |
| What are my net proceeds? | A CMA shows your real equity before you look |
A comparative market analysis (CMA) shows your exact equity, so you set your range before you find your next home.
