Mitch & Meghan, part of the Scrimgeour Group with eXp Realty, help Victoria families sell one home and buy the next. Mitch Scrimgeour runs the numbers: pricing, marketing, and negotiation. Meghan Radde runs the plan and the timeline so the move holds together. We've closed 22 sales in Victoria, including homes on Heron Lane in Lakebridge.
Selling first, or selling and buying on the same timeline, keeps you from carrying two mortgages. Buying first can work if you qualify for both payments or use a bridge loan. Before you list, we sit down with your lender and lay out both paths with real numbers: what you'd net from your Victoria home and what you can spend next.
You line up the money first, then match the two closing dates. Here's how we usually do it:
Step 1
Get pre-approved for the next home, counting the equity from your current one.
Step 2
Price and prepare your Victoria home, and list it.
Step 3
Negotiate a closing date that works, or a short rent-back so you can stay a few weeks after closing.
Step 4
Shop for your next home with your sale under contract, so your offer is stronger.
Step 5
Close on both, ideally the same week.

Victoria's median sale price was $621,650 in August 2026, down 9.8% from a year earlier, according to Redfin. Your number depends on your neighborhood, size, condition, and updates. Mitch builds a pricing report from recent sales near you in Lakebridge, Watermark, Deer Run, or wherever you live, so you see the numbers before you decide anything. Our Victoria market update has the latest numbers.
Fix what buyers will notice and what an inspector will flag. Skip big remodels. Fresh paint, small repairs, clean carpets, and a clear garage usually matter more than a new kitchen. We walk through your home with you, tell you what's worth doing, and line up the help so it gets done before photos.
It depends on what you need next. Some want one-level living or less yard work, some want to be closer to the Cities in Minnetonka, Chanhassen, Eden Prairie, or Edina, and some are leaving Minnesota. We help you compare real options side by side, so you know what your money buys before you list.
Start early and decide room by room what's moving, what's going to family, and what's being sold or donated. Clear the house before photos if you can; it shows bigger.
