Buy Before You Sell: Bridge Loans

Have you ever found your dream home, but felt stuck because your current house hasn’t sold yet? You’re not alone—this is one of the most common challenges homebuyers face. That’s where our new bridge loan “Buy Before You Sell” comes in. Designed to give you financial breathing room, it allows you to buy first, sell later, and move on your own terms. Let’s go through what a bridge loan is, who it helps, and why this new program could be the solution you’ve been waiting for. 

What Is a Bridge Loan?

A bridge loan is a short-term financing option that helps homeowners “bridge the gap” between buying a new property and selling their current one. Think of it as a temporary solution that gives you access to the equity in your existing home so you can make a down payment on your next one—without having to wait for your old home to sell.

These loans are especially helpful where making an offer without a home-sale contingency can give you a much stronger chance of securing the home you want. Instead of juggling two mortgages or missing out on opportunities, a bridge loan allows for a smoother transition and more flexibility during one of life’s biggest financial moves.

The Problem Homebuyers Face

One of the biggest challenges in real estate comes down to timing. Imagine finding the perfect new home, but your current home hasn’t sold yet. Do you risk losing your dream property while you wait, or do you take on the stress of carrying two mortgages at once?

For many buyers, the only option has been to submit an offer that’s “contingent” on selling their existing home first. Unfortunately, in today’s market, contingent offers are often overlooked in favor of buyers who are ready to close right away. That leaves many homeowners feeling stuck—caught between the fear of missing out on their next home and the financial strain of moving too quickly.

This is exactly the problem our new “Buy Before You Sell” product is designed to solve.

Buy Before You Sell- Bridge Loan

We’re excited to introduce a bridge loan solution unlike anything else on the market—designed to take the stress and uncertainty out of buying and selling at the same time. Here’s how it works:

0 Payments. 0% Interest. There’s no monthly payment required and no interest charged while you transition to your new home.

Fast Approvals. Buyers can be approved for this product in as little as 24 hours.

Built-In Safety Net. If your current home hasn’t sold after 120 days, we will purchase it from you—so you’re never left carrying two properties.

Unlock Your Equity. Access up to 70% of your home’s equity to put toward your dream home purchase 

Buy First, Sell Later. Move into your new home with confidence, knowing you’ll have the time and flexibility to maximize the sale of your old one.

 

With this program, you don’t have to choose between rushing your sale or missing out on your next home—you get the freedom to move on your terms.

How the Process Works

The first step is simple: get approved—often within 24 hours—and unlock up to 70% of your home’s equity. This gives you the ability to purchase and move into your new home right away, without waiting on the sale of your current one. Once you’re settled, the focus shifts to selling your old home. We will have time to handle any needed repairs or maintenance, take some great pictures so your property shines on the market. (an empty home tends to sell quicker than one while you’re still living in the space) With up to 120 days to complete the sale, you won’t feel pressured to rush the process or accept a lower offer. And as an added safety net, if your home hasn’t sold within that timeframe, we will buy it from you—so you can move forward with peace of mind.

Why Choose a Bridge Loan & Who It Helps

A bridge loan isn’t just another financing option—it’s a powerful tool that gives homeowners the flexibility and peace of mind they need during a major move. This program is designed for primary residences and works seamlessly alongside conventional loan products, making it accessible for many buyers.

It’s especially valuable for move-up buyers who want to secure their next home before their current one sells, downsizers who prefer a smoother transition, or anyone buying in a market where contingent offers are less likely to be accepted. By unlocking up to 70% of your home’s equity, you’ll have funds available not only for a down payment on your next property, but also for moving expenses, closing costs, or even repairs and improvements to help your current home sell for top dollar.

Whether you’re upgrading, downsizing, or simply wanting the freedom to move without pressure, a bridge loan can help you move forward with confidence while maximizing the value of your sale.
