Get pre-approval before you list your home – requalify your mortgage.

Other considerations are:

  • Job changes
  • Credit history changes
  • Calculate the equity you’ll have
  • Budget to help you keep on track

Ramifications Of Bridge Financing

What to do when closing dates don’t match? It’s normally straight forward if you have a firm purchase AND sale agreement.

Downsizing

Ensure you reduce your household content before you sell. Not only do you need to declutter your home, you also need to prepare the financing even before you list your home. This is a critical step even if you don’t expect to end-up with a mortgage in your new smaller home or condo.
