The way our market is right now you can not list your house without having bought another one. Our rental market is very tight too to that is not a real option either.

Agent needs to understand the two needs (her excitement for the next step & his protective mode to be sure his family isn't left high, dry & homeless) and educate them on how it all works (i.e. contingent upon finding a home of sellers' choice).   Remember:  Happy Wife, Happy Life!  :)

There are many times there is a difference of opinion on when to list. But taking a listing and note that the sale is contingent upon seller finding a replacement property has worked great in our market. Buyers are willing to be "on hold" waiting for the seller to find their home and we have successfully closed many of these deals.
