How this works when you’re selling first.
Royal Home Team and Heritage work the timing together: when does the current home go on market, when does it close, where do you live in between, when does the new build need to be ready.
The first conversation maps both ends: what your current home is worth, when it should list, what the build timeline looks like, and how the two intersect. Royal handles the sale; Heritage handles the build; both sides coordinate so the family doesn’t end up bridge-financing for longer than needed or living in temporary housing for longer than expected.
How the timing usually works.
Heritage and Royal handle the whole process from one team, which means selling your current home, designing and building the next, and coordinating the timing between them. One contact, one timeline, one team accountable from listing to handoff.
Most families building custom take twelve to fourteen months from first conversation to move-in. Royal has a strong track record selling homes in the East Metro quickly, which saves you stress, time, and money during the build coordination.
What sellers usually ask.
Can we sell before we start the build?
Yes, but most families don’t. Selling first means living somewhere temporary for the build duration. Most clients prefer to time the sale closer to construction completion.
Can we use equity from the sale to fund the build?
Common arrangement. Construction financing usually bridges from build start to sale close, then the sale equity pays down the construction loan and the permanent mortgage covers the rest.
What if our current home doesn’t sell on schedule?
Royal prices for time-to-sell, not just top-dollar. The listing strategy is built around the build’s move-in date. If the market shifts mid-process, both sides adjust.
