Sell Smart, Buy Confidently: The Central Ohio Move-Up Buyer’s Playbook

October 03, 20251 min read

Navigating a simultaneous sale and purchase can feel like trying to land two planes at once—but it doesn’t have to be a stressful experience.

As a seasoned Central Ohio realtor, I’ve developed a detailed Move-Up Playbook that helps homeowners in neighborhoods like New Albany Country Club, Granville’s Bryn Du Woods, and Westerville’s Medallion Estates sell their home for top dollar and secure their next dream space—without chaos.

Here’s how we do it: 

Step 1: Pricing Strategy Based on Hyper-Local Data

I use real-time data from the Columbus MLS to price your home competitively, not just based on square footage, but on buyer demand and market movement in your specific neighborhood.

Step 2: Get Buyer-Ready in 10 Days or Less

With my local vendor team—cleaners, stagers, photographers—we can prep your home for market quickly and beautifully. Whether you’re in a golf course community or a country lane in Alexandria, we’ll highlight what makes your home unique.

Step 3: Structure Your Timeline Strategically

We can list after we secure your next home, or negotiate terms that give you breathing room to move (like post-close occupancy). Clients are sometimes shocked to learn how flexible today’s contracts can be with the right agent negotiating on their behalf.

Step 4: Use Your Equity Wisely

Whether you’re buying in The Farms at Jefferson or the new Epcon community in Westerville, your equity can be used to lower your payment, upgrade finishes, or reduce contingencies in your offer.

Let Me Help You Make Your Move Up With Confidence

You don’t need to juggle this transition alone. With my full-service guidance and local expertise, we’ll make sure your move-up journey is efficient, profitable, and actually enjoyable.
