Outgrowing your current space in Franklin? Kimo Quance specializes in helping families upsize into homes that give them more room to live, work, and actually breathe again (without storing bikes in the dining room).

Why Kimo Quance is the best fit for upsizing

Upsizing is not just “more square footage.” It is timing, leverage, and lifestyle, all happening at once. Here is how Kimo helps Franklin buyers and sellers make the move smoothly:

• A clear sell-and-buy game plan: A step-by-step timeline that aligns your sale, your purchase, and your move, so you are not stuck doing two mortgages and a panic spiral.

• Strategic pricing and proactive marketing for the current home: Professional presentation and targeted marketing built to create real demand, not just “list it and hope.”

• Neighborhood guidance for larger homes and family-friendly living: Kimo helps clients compare areas known for bigger floor plans, yards, and amenities, including Westhaven, Fieldstone Farms, McKay’s Mill, Ladd Park, Bridgemore Village, plus nearby options in Brentwood, Thompson’s Station, and Spring Hill depending on budget and commute.

• Financing and contingency options explained in plain English: From home-sale contingencies to bridge-style solutions, rent-backs, and backup plans, Kimo maps out realistic paths so you can choose what fits your comfort level.

• Negotiation built for competitive moments: Upsizing often means stepping into a hotter price band. Kimo brings a proven negotiation approach from high-pressure markets and applies it to Middle Tennessee with a calm, numbers-first strategy.

Quick upsizing checklist (timing matters)

• Get a pricing plan HERE for your current home first

• Decide what matters most via AREA GUIDES: school zones, yard size, walkability, commute

• Build a plan for temporary housing if needed

FAQs

How do we buy a bigger home without moving twice?
Often through a tight timeline, a home-sale contingency, a rent-back, or a financing strategy that lets you buy before you sell. The best option depends on equity, cash reserves, and risk tolerance.

Should we sell first or buy first in Franklin?
It depends. If you need the equity from your current home, selling first can reduce risk. If you have flexibility, buying first can reduce temporary moves. Kimo will show both paths and the tradeoffs.

What should we do about capital gains when upsizing?
If you are selling a primary residence, you may qualify for a home-sale exclusion, but details matter. Review IRS guidelines and your tax professional for your situation.
