So you find the right house, the right location, the right everything, to you, and then you need to sell your other house as a contingency to buying the new house? It might make you sad to hear the realtor of your "new home" tell you that they would like to entertain other offers. That hits you like a brick in the stomach.
Contingency Sales are a possibility This article shows some of the possibilities of concluding the transaction between the 2 willing parties. It is a tough morsel to swallow when you find the perfect house, you have waited years during the recession and are ready to go, but you have a concrete block around your leg, your old home.
The best way to sell these days is with a professional, a Realtor. After all, anyone can get access with the MLS, but only a Realtor has the power of networking in offices with hundreds of like minded sales people, knows resources outside in the community and who maintain a buyers list with other agents. I know an agent who was in this situation and had 3 people looking at their house and it was not on the market yet.
Remember, if you think working with a professional is expensive, try an amateur.
