Upgrading Sounds Great… But It Feels Complicated

Most families we talk to are excited about the idea of a new home—but nervous about how to actually make it happen. The timing, financing, and uncertainty of buying and selling at the same time can feel overwhelming.

Here’s what we often hear:

“Do we need to sell before we buy?”

You’re not sure if you can get approved for your next home without selling the current one.

“What if we sell and have nowhere to go?”

You're worried about being rushed into buying something you don’t love—or worse, needing temporary housing.

“How do we coordinate it all with work, kids, and life?”

Life is already busy, and you don’t want this move to take over your sanity.

“Can we afford the kind of home we really want?”

You’re trying to figure out how far your equity will take you—and how to make the numbers work.

Andrew helped us to purchase our first home and walked us through every step of it with explanation. Andrew also provided us with videos to help explain the step we were on and what the next step would be to prepare for it . I would definitely recommend to family and friends.

POWER COUPLE! Andrew and Samantha Lake do such a fantastic job for their clients. Buyers are provided valuable information so that they understand today’s buying process just as good as the average Realtor. For Sellers, their Brokerage’s marketing and advertising options bring the most potential buyers through their client’s homes to get the highest possible price in today’s market. Frankly, they are expert negotiators. Over the past 5 years, I have personally referred many families and individuals to them. It’s a pleasure to know them AND to know they are going to take excellent care of all my referrals. In today’s market, you need someone you can trust. I trust The Lake Team.
