Selling a home while buying another can feel like a lot to manage at once. For Devin and Michelle, the goal was to coordinate both transactions successfully while making smart financial decisions on each side of the move.

With Mackenzie Siek of Stone Realty Group guiding the process, they were able to do exactly that.

Their Kannapolis home went under contract in less than a week and sold above list price. At the same time, Mackenzie secured their next home across the state line for $19,000 below the asking price, along with an additional $15,000 in seller concessions.

Managing a Home Sale and Purchase at the Same Time

Buying and selling simultaneously requires careful timing, communication, and negotiation. Financing deadlines, inspections, appraisals, moving plans, and two separate closing schedules must remain coordinated throughout the process.

Mackenzie guided Devin and Michelle through each stage, from positioning their Kannapolis home for a strong market launch to negotiating favorable terms on their next purchase.

Their existing home attracted a buyer quickly, going under contract in less than one week and ultimately selling above its list price. That early momentum helped keep the next phase of their move on track.

Strong Negotiation on Their New Home

While their Kannapolis home moved toward closing, Mackenzie negotiated the purchase of Devin and Michelle’s next property.

She secured the home for $19,000 below its asking price while also negotiating $15,000 in seller concessions. Those terms gave the buyers additional financial flexibility as they transitioned between properties.

Seller concessions may be applied toward eligible closing costs, prepaid expenses, or other approved expenses, depending on the contract and loan program. Concession limits and permitted uses should always be confirmed with the buyer’s lender.

What Devin and Michelle Had to Say

"We had a great experience working with Mackenzie. Selling a home and buying a new one at the same time was stressful, but she made the entire process feel smooth and manageable. She helped us get our home under contract in less than a week, and on our new purchase, she was able to negotiate a price below listing and secure seller concessions.

We are very grateful for her help and couldn't be happier with how everything turned out. We would, and will, recommend her to anyone looking for a seamless, stress-free process."

Devin and Michelle

Their experience demonstrates the value of having one real estate professional coordinate both sides of a move, maintain clear communication, and help identify potential timing issues before they become larger problems.

Strategic Results on Both Sides of the Move

Selling above list price in less than a week while purchasing another home below asking represents a strong result on both sides of the transaction.

For Devin and Michelle, Mackenzie’s strategy and negotiation helped turn a complex transition into a successful next chapter. The process required more than simply matching two closing dates. It involved preparing the existing home, evaluating offers, negotiating the purchase, and keeping financing and contract deadlines aligned.
