Carly & Kyle
“When we got the call from Sophia that we got the house I almost spilled wine all over his mom’s white couch. We were so excited and relieved and probably a little nervous that we just bought a house but we thought the view was going to be worth it.”
— Carly Kiser
Meet
Carly grew up in Seattle, Washington. Kyle is originally from North Carolina but moved to Edmonds chasing a girl. They both agreed that being closer to family mattered—and finding a neighborhood school with a tight-knit community was a key decision for their growing family.
They owned a home in Seattle with a large portion of equity locked in. They wanted to make the move to Edmonds, but they didn’t want to live in a rental, move twice, or sell their Seattle home at a less-than-ideal price just to secure their next home.
PRODUCT OVERVIEW
By tapping into their existing home’s equity, they were able to act quickly on a home closer to family. They moved in first, then took the time to list and sell the Seattle home under favorable conditions—no rushed move-out, no temporary housing.
TheÂ
Today, their family has settled into a rhythm they love. They ride bikes through their new neighborhood, spend relaxed time in their backyard, and have the peace of mind that they found the right home at the right time for their family. Carly says:

Reimagining Real Estate
Blending high-tech with high-touch, Reali is creating a fundamental shift in real estate to deliver innovative, seamless solutions that make the homeownership journey simple, affordable, and stress-free every step of the way.
PRODUCT OVERVIEW
With the Buy Before You Sell program, you don’t have to rush a sale or settle for less just to purchase your ideal home. We enable you to lock in your next home—and take your time selling the current one.
The Advantage
three-step
We evaluate your current home’s equity, partner you with our preferred lender/bridge program, and determine how much you can spend on your next home.
You find your next home. Using the bridge-equity option we secure it quickly. You close the purchase and move in—no provisional temporary housing.
We list and market your existing home through Reali. You sell on your timeline with the aim of maximizing sale proceeds. Once it sticks, you refinance out of the bridge-loan into your long-term mortgage.
What we get asked the most
Contact your loan officer for a detailed cost breakdown.
In the unlikely event that it doesn’t sell within 180 days of closing on your new home, our mortgage partners will step in and purchase it at a pre-agreed price. They will get this home sold at market value, and you will keep any extra proceeds, minus standard transaction costs.
