WHO WE WORK WITH — MOVE-UPS

    Trade up
    without the tightrope.

    The move-up is the hardest transaction in real estate: two deals, two sets of dates, and your equity in transit between them. Spencer Rivers coordinates the sell-and-buy sequence — pricing, conditions, bridge financing, possession dates — so you land in the forever home without ever carrying two mortgages you didn't plan for.

    HOW SPENCER HELPS

    What working together looks like.

    Sequencing is the strategy

    Sell-then-buy or buy-then-sell is a math problem — your equity position, the pace of your target market, and your risk tolerance. Spencer runs the numbers both ways and builds the timeline around the answer.

    Two negotiations, one plan

    Maximizing the sale and winning the purchase are negotiated together: possession dates, conditions, and deposits structured so each deal protects the other.

    Bridges and back-up plans

    Bridge financing, condition timing, and contingency plans are arranged before they're needed — so a delayed closing is an inconvenience, not a crisis.

    THE PROCESS

    Three steps, no guesswork.

    1

    Know both numbers

    A data-driven evaluation of your current home and a realistic budget for the next one — including the equity, penalties, and carrying costs in between.

    2

    Launch in the right order

    Your sale and search run on a coordinated timeline, with conditions and possession dates negotiated to close the gap between the two deals.

    3

    One moving day

    Both transactions close on a schedule you chose, your equity moves directly into the new home, and you move once.

    Frequently asked questions

    For most move-up buyers, yes — a firm sale defines your budget and makes your purchase offer stronger. But in a fast market for your target home, the order can flip. Spencer runs your equity math and the pace of both submarkets before recommending a sequence.
