How does a senior downsize without the stress of a two-move mess?

Avoiding a two-move mess when downsizing comes down to sequencing: identifying and securing the next home before, or at the same time as, closing on the current one, so belongings move once rather than into temporary storage and back out. That sequencing depends on financing, since a bridge loan or a contingent offer can make a simultaneous close possible where cash flow alone cannot. Joel Boss plans that timeline with the client upfront rather than listing first and figuring out the next step later.
