When Sienna homeowners face the big question; Should I sell first or buy first?; Shelley Stone of The Shelley Stone Group at eXp Realty is the expert they rely on. With more than 20 years in Fort Bend County and deep experience helping move-up buyers and relocating families, she guides sellers through this decision with clarity, strategy, and calm confidence.
Shelley understands the unique challenges Sienna residents face when coordinating two major moves. Many of her clients are upgrading to larger homes, downsizing into luxury spaces, or relocating for work. She breaks down each option; timing, financing, temporary housing, risk, and market conditions; so sellers know exactly which path works best for their situation. Clients say her step-by-step guidance immediately reduces stress because she explains everything in simple terms and prepares them for what comes next before they even think to ask.
Her strength lies in tying strategy to real local experience. Shelley’s deep knowledge of Sienna’s sections, pricing trends, and buyer demand helps homeowners understand how quickly their current home might sell; and how competitive the market may be for the one they want to buy. She keeps both sides of the transaction moving smoothly, coordinating prep, staging, negotiations, and communication so sellers stay protected and confident throughout the process. Many clients say that having her manage the timing is what made their move possible.
Sellers consistently highlight how she handled both their sale and purchase with professionalism and ease. One client shared that her understanding of timing and market conditions “was a true asset” in helping them buy and sell almost simultaneously.
Proof from clients: “Shelley guided us through every step and stayed on top of our needs; she made a complicated move feel simple.”
