Bernard Green | Atlanta REALTOR® — Metro Atlanta Homes for Sale

Q: Can I sell my home while buying a new one at the same time?

Absolutely — this is called a simultaneous closing. It requires careful coordination of timelines and contingencies. I manage both transactions together so you're not left without a home or stuck with two mortgages.

Questions

The first step is getting pre-approved for a mortgage so you know your budget. From there, we'll identify the right neighborhoods in the Atlanta Metro Area that fit your lifestyle and price range, schedule showings, and I'll guide you through every step — from offer to closing.

It depends on the loan type. Conventional loans typically require 5–20% down, while FHA loans can be as low as 3.5%. Georgia also offers down payment assistance programs for first-time buyers. I'll connect you with trusted lenders who can find the best option for your situation.

It depends on your priorities. Buckhead offers luxury living and top-rated schools. Midtown is ideal for walkability and culture. East Atlanta and Kirkwood are great for first-time buyers seeking value. I specialize in the Atlanta Metro Area and will match you with the neighborhood that fits your life.

On average, the process takes 30–60 days from accepted offer to closing, but the search itself varies. In Atlanta's competitive market, being pre-approved and working with an experienced agent gives you a major advantage when the right home hits the market.

Buyer's agent compensation is negotiated as part of your transaction. In many cases, the seller covers this cost, meaning you get full professional representation at little to no direct cost to you. We'll discuss this upfront so there are no surprises.

I perform a Comparative Market Analysis (CMA) using recent sales data from homes similar to yours in your Atlanta neighborhood. I look at size, condition, location, and current market trends to price your home strategically — not too low, not too high.

Well-priced homes in Atlanta's desirable neighborhoods often receive offers within the first 1–2 weeks. The full process from listing to closing typically takes 30–60 days. Pricing, presentation, and marketing all play a critical role — which is exactly where I focus my energy for every client.

First impressions matter. I'll walk through your home and give you a personalized checklist — typically focusing on decluttering, minor repairs, curb appeal, and professional staging if needed. I also coordinate professional photography to make your listing stand out online.

Commission is negotiable and will be discussed during our initial consultation. My focus is on maximizing your net proceeds — the right pricing strategy and marketing approach almost always more than covers the cost of professional representation.

Absolutely — this is called a simultaneous closing and it's more common than you might think. It requires careful coordination of timelines and contingencies. I manage both transactions together so you're not left without a home or stuck with two mortgages.
