MoveNow: Pilgrim Mortgage's Exclusive Buy-Before-You-Sell Program

This is one of the most common situations homeowners face in today’s market. 

You’re casually browsing homes online... maybe just looking... maybe dreaming a little. Then suddenly, there it is: the house that checks every box. 

You’re flipping through the photos and the location is right. The layout is perfect. The kitchen is everything you’ve been waiting for. And before you know it, you can already picture your family there. 

There’s just one problem: your current home hasn’t sold yet. 

For many buyers, this is where excitement begins to sour into frustration as you ask yourself: 

  • Do I risk losing the new home while waiting to sell? 

  • Do I rush my current home onto the market? 

  • Do you move twice: first into a rental, and then into the dream home? 

Thankfully, we are able to offer another option: the MoveNow Program, exclusively offered by Pilgrim Mortgage.  

A Smarter Way to Move

The MoveNow program was designed for homeowners in transition; people who are ready for their next chapter but need flexibility getting there. 

Instead of requiring you to sell your current home first, MoveNow allows eligible borrowers to: 

  1. Purchase their new home now using a short-term financing solution. 

  1. Then, once their old home sells, the short-term loan is refinanced into their permanent, long-term mortgage. 

In real life, that can mean less scrambling, less pressure, and more control. 


Picture This

Imagine being able to: 

  • Buy the home you love before someone else does.

  • Move on your timeline instead of the market’s timeline. 

  • Get settled before listing your current house.

  • Avoid packing, moving, and unpacking twice.

  • Prepare your current home for sale while already living elsewhere.

That’s the kind of breathing room many homeowners never realize is possible. 


Why Timing Matters So Much

Buying and selling at the same time can feel like trying to solve a puzzle where all the pieces are constantly moving: closings get delayed, buyers change plans, inspection issues come up, appraisals take longer than expected. 

When your next move depends entirely on your current home selling at the perfect moment, stress can build quickly. 

The MoveNow program helps reduce that pressure by creating a bridge between where you are now and where you want to go next. 


Who This Can Help 

This program may be especially valuable for: 

  • Families needing more room before a new school year  

  • Homeowners relocating for a job opportunity  

  • Empty nesters ready to simplify life  

  • Buyers who found the right house unexpectedly  

  • Anyone who doesn’t want to feel trapped by timing  

 

If you’ve ever thought, “We’d move… if only we could sell first,” it may be worth learning whether MoveNow could open up more opportunities for you. 

Because sometimes the next chapter is ready before the current one is finished.
