Upsizing in Lodi: from your starter home to room to grow
Room to grow, with one plan. We plan the sale of your starter home and the purchase of your next one together.
Upsizing in Lodi, what you get
A kitchen where everyone fits. A backyard that's more than a patch of grass. Maybe a garage that holds more than boxes. Upsizing in Lodi means trading your starter home for the room you've been wishing for.
What you get with me is one plan for both moves. We sell the home you have and buy the one you want, with the order and the timing decided by your real numbers, not by guesswork.
Why Lodi upsizers work with me
I'm Audrey Schmierer, a REALTOR® with Keller Williams Central Valley and a lifelong Lodi local. Two moves at once is a lot to juggle, so I keep both on one calendar and send you daily updates on each.
On the selling side, your starter home gets a real launch: three pricing options, staging help, professional photos and video, its own page on my website, and paid Facebook ads. On the buying side, you get tours of any home you want and a strong, well-timed offer. More on how I help people upsize.
How upsizing in Lodi works
1. Your numbers. We look at your equity and your lender's numbers together. The equity in your starter home is often what makes the next one possible.
2. Buy first or sell first. Selling first gives you a firm budget. Buying first means one move. We pick what fits.
3. Launch your starter home. We price it, stage it and market it. See how I set your price.
4. Find the next one. We tour, and I send new matches daily.
5. Line up both escrows. Each typically runs 30 to 45 days, and we time them so the handoff is smooth.
Where Lodi upsizers look
Sunwest has larger custom homes on large lots and quiet streets. Rose Gate is new construction around Rose Gate Park. Rivergate has very large homes, many with river access and private docks.
Your starter home might be in Parkwest or Downtown Lodi, which are often the first front door for someone else. That's good news when you sell. See selling your home in Lodi.
