When is your close date on your offer on the property?

Just try to make sure that you get your side of the deal locked in, so that you can close it, and reschedule the sale side of it, to coinside with your purchase.

If they really want the property, they'll be flexible with the closing. Remember you have to have title to the property before the title company or the lawyer can legally tranfer title from you to the new buyer.
