Glen Allen Buy-Before-Sell: A HELOC Case Study
The Complication
About two weeks before the old home was due to close, a required crawl-space inspection found degraded insulation, no vapor barrier and microbial growth on joists. Two Dog Realty helped identify a practical scope, locate available contractors, and keep all parties informed.
The remediation—including treatment, insulation, a vapor barrier and dehumidifier—was completed in time for closing. The clients moved through both transactions without derailing the plan, and their former home closed at asking price.
The Result
A move-up family wanted more space and a larger yard while staying in the Glen Allen area. A HELOC allowed them to buy their next home before putting their existing home on the market, preserving flexibility around the move.
​The Challenge
In Their Words
“They were responsive, knowledgeable, and helped keep everything moving so that the repairs didn’t derail the sale… We were able to use a HELOC to purchase our new home before our previous home had sold, and Curt and Heather helped us navigate that process with confidence.”
