ever go to {verb} means "are ever about to take the first step to begin {verbing}", as distinct from merely contemplating {verbing} and distinct from actually being in the act of {verbing}.
If you ever go to sell your house...
If you ever go to buy a boat...
The locution is usually accompanied by something the speaker would like you to do, or would recommend that you do, before you actually take that first step.
That's when "you" are involved: If you ever go to {verb}.
But "go to {verb}" expresses the idea of taking the step one takes when one is about to do the action of {verb} while not yet in the act of {verbing}
