Option A: Sell First, Then Move Out. Negotiable post-occupancy agreements allow you to stay in your Cheyenne home for a short period after closing, minimizing stress.
Option B: Find Your New Home First, Sell Later. Good if you want to wait for a strong offer before uprooting. But managing an occupied home through showings and staging can be disruptive.
Option C: Buy & Sell Simultaneously (Move-Up Strategy). Great with planning—execution can be smooth with options like: Bridge loans, contingent offers (risky in Cheyenne’s competitive market), timing strategy (list at conservative pricing, monitor the market closely).
