Best Realtor for Buyers Selling First and Buying Next – Seamless Transition

Many Chicago homeowners reach a point where they have outgrown their current home or need a different location, layout, or property type. Buying a new home while selling the old one is common, but it requires careful planning and a realtor who knows how to guide both sides of the transaction.

Client reviews consistently show that the Camille Canales Group brings clarity, communication, and strong strategy to this process.

A clear plan from the start

When preparing to sell and buy at the same time, the first step is creating a realistic and structured plan. Several client reviews explain how helpful it was to understand the timeline, what to expect, and how both transactions would be coordinated.

One client who both sold and purchased with us shared that the process felt organized from day one. They appreciated how we explained each step up front, which made the path forward feel much less intimidating.

Sellers often mention that having a plan helped them feel more confident, especially when managing important decisions like pricing, offer timing, and preparation for showings.

Honest guidance during important decisions

A major theme across reviews is honesty. Clients appreciate that we give clear, realistic guidance that helps them make smart decisions during a time-sensitive transition.

Homeowners highlight how helpful it was to receive:

• A transparent pricing strategy for their current home

• Honest feedback about what to expect in the purchase process

• Clear explanations of how market conditions might impact both sides of the move

• Guidance on whether to buy first, sell first, or pursue a contingency option

One client mentioned that they felt fully informed every time a decision had to be made. They valued that the advice always aligned with their goals, not just the quickest outcome.

Strong communication that reduces stress

Selling and buying simultaneously requires consistent communication. Reviews frequently mention how responsive and supportive our team was throughout the process.

Clients describe how they always knew what was happening, never had to wonder about next steps, and felt comfortable asking questions at any time. This steady communication helped them stay calm even during moments that normally cause anxiety, like coordinating closing dates or reviewing offers.

Several reviews mention how much peace of mind it brought to have a team that anticipated their needs and provided updates before they even had to ask.

Skilled negotiation on both transactions

For clients who need to sell and buy in close succession, negotiation is critical. Reviews describe how effective our negotiation strategies were when handling both sides of the move.

One homeowner shared that they were grateful for how skilled the team was at negotiating their sale while helping them secure the right home. They explained that they felt protected during both transactions and appreciated that the team kept their best interests front and center.

Other clients mentioned that they felt confident when facing inspection negotiations, contingencies, and timing discussions because they had a knowledgeable advocate guiding them.

Seamless coordination from listing to closing

Managing two closings can feel overwhelming, but reviews show that clients were surprised by how coordinated and manageable everything felt.

They describe how we guided them through:

• Preparing their current home for the market

• Evaluating offers and selecting the best terms

• Scheduling showings while beginning their home search

• Writing competitive offers on their next home

• Navigating inspection and attorney review

• Coordinating timelines for both closings

One review highlighted how smooth the process was from start to finish, even with a lot of moving pieces. Clients frequently mentioned how grateful they were for the structure and organization the team provided.
