Before You List Your Home Have a Plan!

Another recent incident that cost The Wells Team a good sale. We had listed one of our client's home. They were starting a new home that would be done next spring. They did not have to sell their home in order to complete the new home. Received a good offer on the home in early September with a closing at the end of October. Everything looked good then........ The sellers did not have a plan. They decided they wanted to rent a home close to the site of their future home. However... They wanted an unfurnished home with a specific floor plan available in one month! They wanted a home in an area that is rural and predominantly seasonal mountain homes. Those homes are empty in the winter but are furnished. Two days later they could not find the home they wanted to rent. Contract gone. Home withdrawn two days later. Before you list your home you need a plan! Where are you moving? Have you started looking in this area? Are you willing to rent if needed? Are you willing to put some items in storage while you are renting? Do you have any idea on the cost to move? to store your furniture? If necessary what is your plan regarding schools? Before you list your home, let your agent know your plan. Without a plan you might have to turn down a sale! If you are in the north metro Atlanta area, Lake Lanier, or North Georgia, give us a call! www.randywellsteam.com
