How to make this transaction work.

[Patrick Thomas Dickinson]

Hey everybody 

Heres the scenario.

Just looking for advice not another agent solicitation 

My mom has a house in Pleasanton California worth 1.5 mil and 1.7 and a sizable chunk of equity in this property . She is looking to downsize and pay cash for a home somewhere within the purchase price of 1 million dollars. 

The problem. She’s not willing to sell her house and do rent buy back for a few months and she’s not willing to sell and find a place to live for a few months while she shopping for another house. 

So basically her buying this other downsized house is contingent upon the sale of here current primary residence which I believe makes her offer a lot weaker especially in our hot Bay Area market. 

How would you tackle this problem, what are some options ?
