The relocation squeeze
Moving for work usually means juggling two homes at once: finding a place in the new city while keeping the old one show-ready, paying two housing costs, and hoping a buyer's financing closes before your start date. If the sale drags on, you're paying a mortgage on a house you no longer live in, and managing it from a distance.
Two ways we take the timing pressure off
Cash offer: closing on your exact date
With a cash offer, there's no lender, appraisal or buyer contingency to slip the schedule. Close in as little as 15 days with clear title, or set the date for the day after the movers leave. Need a little more time after closing? Ask. We can often build it into the deal.
Retail Buyer Program: more money, and we run it while you're gone
If you can allow 30–45 days, the Retail Buyer Program fixes your net in writing and sells to an owner-occupant buyer. It's built for sellers who've already left:
- We handle lockbox access, showings and walkthroughs
- Vacant homes are cleaned before showings and the lawn kept up, at our expense
- Storage help for belongings you aren't taking yet
- Moving help, and a leaseback of up to 30 days if your timing shifts
Selling from out of state
Once you've moved, you shouldn't have to fly back to sell. We can evaluate the home by video, coordinate access with a neighbor or lockbox, and many title companies and attorneys can arrange a mobile notary or remote signing. Your proceeds are wired to you wherever you are.
If your employer offers relocation help
Some relocation packages include home-sale assistance or a buyout program with specific rules. Check your package first, since some require you to use their process. We're happy to give you a number to compare against it.
A simple relocation timeline
- As soon as you know you're moving: send us the address and your target move date.
- Within days: review a written cash offer, plus a fixed-net number if the home fits.
- Sign and set your date: before or after your move, whichever works.
- Move: leave what you don't want; we can help with storage and the move itself.
- Close remotely: sign with a mobile notary and receive your funds by wire.
