Think You're Ready to Move Up? Watch This First.

You've been sitting on it for a while now. The kids are sharing a room. The home office is the kitchen table. You're circling listings in Johnston and Ankeny on weekends, running mental math in your head, wondering if the timing actually works.

You're not alone — and you're probably closer than you think.

This webinar breaks down everything you need to know before making your move. Not the glossy version, but the real strategic breakdown: what your equity can actually do in today's market, how to sell your current home without leaving money on the table, and how to compete for the right home in Des Moines' northwest suburbs without overpaying or getting stuck holding two mortgages.

Here's a preview of what's covered:

Part 1: Are You Actually Ready?

Most families spend 12–18 months "thinking about it" before taking any real steps — often because they're not sure if the math works. This section cuts through the uncertainty with a clear equity assessment framework and addresses the biggest hesitation in today's market: giving up a low mortgage rate. Spoiler: there are smarter ways to think about this than most people realize.

Part 2: Selling Your Starter Home the Right Way

The Des Moines market has shifted. Fewer bidding wars, more strategic decisions required. This section covers how to price your home to sell fast and at a premium — not one or the other — and what you actually need to do to prepare it for today's buyers without over-investing in the wrong upgrades.

Part 3: Winning Your Next Home in a Competitive Market

Johnston, Ankeny, and Urbandale don't sit on the market long. This section walks through how to structure competitive offers when you're also selling, how contingent offers actually work (and when they win), and what the school district landscape really looks like right now for families making long-term decisions.

Part 4: Coordinating the Whole Thing

The part most agents skip. How do you close on your sale and your purchase without a gap in the middle? What does a realistic 60–90 day timeline actually look like? This section breaks down the coordination process step by step so nothing falls through the cracks.

If you've been in your current home for 7+ years, have kids who are approaching middle school age, and have been quietly watching the market in Johnston or Ankeny — this was made for you.
