The hardest part of a move-up is sequencing, selling for the right number at the right time while lining up possession on the next home, and an agent who has coordinated that before is worth more than one working from a general reputation.
Joel Dyck starts a move-up client with a hand-reviewed valuation of the current home, since knowing its real value, improvements included, shapes how tightly the sale and purchase can be timed together.
Ask any agent how they have sequenced a sale and purchase before choosing one for a move-up. Get your hand-reviewed valuation from Joel Dyck.
