Sell a Home, Not a House
Its funny to think about preparing your house for the market. You have to paint, declutter, replace and fix things. It ends up in such great condition that you ask yourself why you would even want to move out now? But there was a reason you wanted to move in the first place. You may want to focus right now on buying your new dream home, but your first step is to sell the one you own now. How can you do that quickly? Consider your current house as someone else’s dream home, and start preparing it for them. Putting a little work into it now makes the entire process of selling your house much more profitable for you in the long run. You can do it!Who Else Do You Need On Your Team?
While a great real estate agent is key to selling your home, you might need other specialists to help you through the process. We can recommend people who will handle the services that go with fixing-up and selling your home, including: lenders, pest control specialists, home warranty companies, inspection companies, contractors, and plumbers.Timing It Right
When you are selling your home and buying a new one at the same time, the ability to juggle the responsibilities of both can protect you from headaches. Avoid having to handle two giant chores at once by starting early. Make a list of whom you need to notify about your change of address, including utility companies and credit card companies. Start packing the knick-knacks and off-season items you won’t be needing before the move. If you can start doing repairs around the home as early as possible -- even a full year prior to the sale of your home -- you will be able to avoid a huge bill right before the sale.Lighten The Load
As you begin packing to move to your new home, the realization will probably hit you like a ton of bricks: You have a ton of stuff. Rather than packing it all and lugging it to your new house just to stuff it into the garage and closets, lighten your load and make your move easier. A garage sale is a great way to unload lots of your little-used items and make a little extra cash to spend on decorating your new home. You can also sell some of your rarer possessions on auction sites such as Ebay. You may get a pretty penny for old toys and books which might have sold for a lesser price at your garage sale. Also consider donating furniture and clothing to charity. You’ll be doing something good for yourself and for others.Sellers, Inquire Here
