Is it possible to trade a home with another seller or builder? Basically looking to see if it would be possible to offer a swap of properties plus additional cash (on my side as I would be looking for a more expensive property. Don't want to go through the option of listing and selling my house, plus not to keen on writing offers conditional on the sale of my home.

Just wondering if it is possible to do this, and what the process would be. I have heard of someone doing this previously but it was for a home on an acreage that was on the market for awhile and the sellers were motivated.

Is this something that some builders would consider? How would the commissions for the MLS agent work?
