Relocating

Relocating? Sell Your House Before You Move

A move comes with a date. A house sale usually does not. Here is how to line them up.

Timing the Sale With the Move

The usual squeeze goes like this: the new job starts on a fixed date, but a listed house sells whenever a buyer shows up and their loan clears. If it hasn’t sold by moving day, you’re paying a mortgage on an empty house in one state and rent or a new mortgage in another.

With a direct sale, you pick the closing date. Close before you leave, or set it a few weeks out so you can live in the house until the movers come. We can close in as little as 7 days when the title is clear.

Some employers offer relocation help, from cash allowances to programs where a relocation company buys the house or covers selling costs. If you have that benefit, read the details and compare it with a direct offer. Programs vary a lot, and some come with conditions or deadlines of their own.

If your employer doesn’t cover the sale, or the program’s timeline doesn’t fit, a cash offer gives you a firm number and date. We pay the closing costs and there’s no commission.

Selling From Out of State

Already moved? You don’t need to come back to sell.

  • We can see the house with a neighbor, a family member or a lockbox
  • You don’t need to clean or empty it. Leave what you don’t want
  • Ask the title company early about how signing will work for you remotely
  • Money from the sale is sent to you after closing
