Can You Buy Before You Sell? Contingent Offers, Neighborhood Spotlight, and a Fun Grocery Tip

On this episode of Go Gaddis Real Estate Radio, we’re spotlighting The Preserve in Lawrenceville and diving into the hot topic of contingent offers. If you’ve been wondering whether it’s possible to buy your next home without selling your current one first, this episode is for you. A listener from Norcross asks, “If we make an offer on a house, can we make it contingent on selling our current home first?” We’ll unpack how contingent offers work, when they’re a smart strategy, and how sellers and buyers can navigate the process without putting themselves at too much risk. I’ll explain the key protections that exist in the contingency system and how to maximize your chances of success in today’s market—even with rising prices and interest rates. Then, we’ll have a little fun. You’ve probably heard the song “867-5309/Jenny” more times than you can count. But have you ever tried using that number at the grocery store checkout? We’ll explore a viral trend that’s helping some shoppers score discounts—even without a loyalty card.
