Sell a home, need a home

This is probably a dumb question. My father wants to sell his home and downsize to a smaller home. He has a nice chunk of $ to put down on next home, but ideally he wants to sell his current home and use the proceeds to purchase his next home without getting a loan. What is the best way for him to list his house and time it so he can pay for the next one and be in the clear? Do we put something in his listing contract that states the sale of his home is contingent on him finding and buying another home? I feel that may sway buyers away from buying his home. I suppose he could just buy a home he likes, financing some of the purchase, and then list his home and when it sells use the $ to pay off his mortgage on the new house? Not sure what the protocol is here. He is 80 so I think he just wants a clean, quick transaction without involving banks.

We have maintained separate residences even after we got married. (That a separate topic!). I am now selling this house. Realtors have told us that my husband has to sign the deed at time of transfer but I am not convinced since the house has not been our marital residence. The realtors like to use the phrase "one to buy; two to sell", which seems like a broad-stroke statement which is not applicable under all circumstances. And of course, the realtors don’t realize the details of my specific circumstances: I purchased and paid for the house in full prior to marriage Only my name is on the deed And most importantly, we have never lived in the house as a marit...
