In our current hot market, many sellers have asked me what they do if their home sells in a matter of days. In these situations, I always remind my clients that, under current market conditions, they have the control!
Since inventory is so low, getting into a great home is tough for buyers. This means sellers have the leverage to control the closing date or negotiate a rent-back agreement. We highly recommend that you don’t wait to list your home until you find a perfect house because sellers will want you to have already done that. In other words, take advantage of your position as a seller first before trying to find your dream home.
Another question we often get from sellers has to do with how soon they have to leave their home once they sell it. The typical contract takes about 35 days. While there are investors out there who will pay cash, which would result in a shorter closing time, this is rare enough that you should just plan on it taking at least 35 days. Of course, you do have post-closing occupancy options we can set up should you need the time.
One thing sellers are often curious about is what they have to do in order to make a sale happen. You’re probably much more critical of your house than I would be, so I can help by identifying the things you need to prioritize in order to get your home on the market. I can also bring in a professional stager to take some of the work off your plate and make your home shine. Additionally, we use a showing service that makes it easy to get people into your home; it’s also flexible enough to allow you to choose how often people come through.
If everything goes well, you will receive multiple offers on your home. This can be stressful and confusing, but it’s a good problem to have. We have a spreadsheet that compares up to ten offers side-by-side to determine what you net from each one. Of course, there are certain intangibles you need to look at too, like buyers who are willing to let you rent back should you need to. We will look closely at all of these things with you and give you the best possible advice so that you make an informed decision that is beneficial for you and your family.
If you have any questions about the selling process, or if you would like our assistance, please don’t hesitate to reach out to us. We would love to hear from you!
