In today’s competitive market, submitting an offer that’s contingent on the sale of your current home can put you at a major disadvantage—especially when you're up against cash buyers or non-contingent offers.

Many sellers simply don’t want to wait. They want certainty, speed, and clean deals.

So, what can you do if you need to sell your current home in order to buy your next one?

That’s where JH Realty’s Buy First, Sell Later program comes in.

🚫 The Problem With Contingent Offers

When you submit an offer that says, "I’ll buy your house, but only if I can sell mine first", sellers may hesitate—or reject it outright. Why?

  • They don’t want to risk your home sale falling through

  • They may have backup offers that are simpler

  • They want faster timelines and less uncertainty

This means your dream home could slip away before you even get a chance to negotiate.

✅ The Solution: A Non-Contingent Offer with JH Realty’s Help

With JH Realty’s Buy First Sell Later program, you don’t have to wait until your home sells to make a move. We’ll help you submit a non-contingent offer, putting you in a much stronger position.

Here’s how:

Buy a new home before selling your current oneGet an interest-free equity loan for your down paymentAlleviate stress by receiving up to 4 months of current mortgage payments on your old homeReceive a cash offer option if needed to help qualify

You’ll look just like a cash-ready buyer in the eyes of the seller—even if you’re still planning to sell your current home.

📣 Don’t Let Contingencies Hold You Back
