THE MOVE

Two states.
One thoughtful plan.

Selling in California and buying in Idaho brings a lot of moving pieces. Connecting them early makes the next decision clearer.

Start with the whole picture

Planning can begin well before you are ready to list. Tell Debbi where you live, when you would like to move and what you are hoping to find in Idaho. Together, identify the decisions that shape the rest of the plan.

Your timing and priorities
What you need from the California sale
When to bring in the Idaho team

Understand your Orange County sale

Debbi helps you consider home preparation, positioning and a likely sale range. Estimated net proceeds give the next conversation a more useful starting point than the sale price alone.

Connect the Idaho purchase early

As your goals take shape, Debbi introduces the Idaho team. They help you explore communities and current home options while you discuss financing with your lender.

Choose a sequence that fits

Sell first or buy first is a question to work through, not a rule to apply to everyone. Your proceeds, financing, flexibility and the terms available in each transaction help shape the sequence.

Review contingencies and contract dates with your agents
Understand when funds need to be available
Consider the practical effects of each option

Coordinate the transition

The two teams stay in communication as your sale and purchase move forward. Closing dates, possession, moving arrangements and any changes to the plan need to be considered together.

Keep both timelines current
Plan for the gap if closings do not align
Confirm arrangements before committing to moving dates

And if the dates
don’t line up?

We plan for that, too. Temporary housing, storage and a second move may still be necessary. No one can guarantee that both closings will align perfectly.

The goal is to understand the options early, discuss the tradeoffs and keep a practical backup plan ready.
