Move-up home with modern exterior

Move-Up Buyer Strategy

Sell your current home and buy the next one with a real plan.

Otis helps homeowners turn equity into a transition strategy, not a stressful guessing game.

Equity extraction

Estimate net proceeds, payoff balances, repair costs, credits, closing costs, and how much can safely fund the next purchase.

Bridge loan options

Compare bridge loans, HELOCs, recast options, sale contingencies, and rent-back terms with lender guidance.

Sale and purchase timing

Coordinate prep, photography, launch date, offer review, replacement search, escrow timelines, and possession needs.

Move-up planning checklist

Get a realistic home value range before choosing a replacement-home budget.

Decide which improvements are worth doing before listing.

Confirm whether buying first, selling first, or using a contingency makes sense.

Prepare negotiation terms for rent-back, possession, credits, and closing dates.
