RELOCATE
Selling a House Before Relocation
There might be times we may need to transfer to a different location for your job. This is known as a job transfer, but not all transfers are alike. Job transfers are made either personally, logistically, financially, or due to safety. Regardless of the reason, it is important to think about how to sell your house fast. If you own a home, you must start planning how you will get rid of it and we are here to help.
Consideration When Relocating
A homeowner needs to consider how to sell your house fast. Selling a house can take months, at best, and selling fast can mean relocating sooner. It usually takes about 45-60 days for a homebuyer to obtain an approved mortgage loan to finance their home purchase. However, this is not accounting for the steps you need to take before getting an offer and accepting it.
Process of Selling a Home
Let’s take a second to think about the actual timeframe and process of selling a home. Below is an estimate of what an average homeowner must do to sell their house, especially if they relocate to a different job:
​
-
Clean/Repair/Update your house so it can be move-in ready.
-
Find and hire a real estate (sellers) agent.
-
With an agent, agree to a commission’s fee and calculate a home value.
-
Take nice/professional pictures of the house.
-
List your house on the online market.
-
Have your agent schedule an open house.
-
When an offer is made, review with an agent and accept the offer.
-
Have agents attend the home inspection.
-
Confirm, ten days before closing, if the buyer got approved financing.
-
At closing, sign the deed and other transfer documents.
Undetermined Factors
The above list is just an example of everything about the selling and buying of a home going smoothly; however, there are many undetermined factors that could delay the process. These include, but are not limited to:
-
Negotiate – After the buyer completes home inspection, they usually to negotiate the price.
-
Backing out – Home Inspector finds problems with your property and the buyer no longer wants to purchase.
-
Mortgage Approval – Buyer is unable to obtain approved financing
Curb Appeal
You may want to consider fixing up your home. When thinking just about your house physically, an immediate eye-catcher to buyers is the curb appeal. Make sure that the outside of your house looks good. You can contact a landscaper that will help you for $50 or less.
Repairs and Updates
Creating a plan to save some money to put towards renovating your house is a great way to assure you get the highest value when selling your house. Funds would be used to hire contractors to repair and possibly renovate parts of your property, such as your kitchen and bathrooms. This allows more home-buyers to become seriously interested in buying your house.
Location
Something you have no control over that influences whether people want to buy your home is the location. For example, it can take from 22 days up to 238 days for a house to be listed for sale on the market before it is bought.
