Closing Day IS Moving Day...

These days it is difficult to plan moving day. I had a closing a few months ago where the buyers already had the movers in their house packing fr the move as closing was to be held the following day. At the last minute the lender requested more information and cloisn was delayed by a week. They had to send the movers and reschedle.

I know it's colder here than I like it and I know some people like the cold but if I moved to Wisconsin I would hibernate during the winter months. 

Good morning Sally and David,

Moving Day does not always mean it will happen on closing Day in Austin. I'm actually advising many of my sellers to lease back with the buyersfo  a few days after closing with the number of delays going on with the lenders. Generally in our area the seller should be out so the buyer can do a walk through right before closing or the evening before. If there are last minute glitches with the buyer's loan this plays serious havoc if a seller has moved out!!

Thank you for your continuous support... I cant say enough... And you're right. Moving can be stressful but agents like the Hansons will make the transition process smoother.

Of all the things in life that I dislike, moving has to rank way up there.  But sometimes it has to be done!  And hopefully for a happy reason!

Logistics when i comes to moving can certainly be a challenge, especially when it involves multiple transactions that all hinge on one another.

As agents we sometimes so forget the stress with moving out of one house and moving into another...the Hansons are the Realtors to have for great guidance in and around Brookfield, WI!

I household move can be a very stressful challenge.  Advance planning will remove some of the difficulties.  Getting rid of the unneeded stuff is difficult for many families.

So true. So have you bought a moving van that a seller or buyer that picks you can use? (Smile) See some markets they do that and wonder if the good will, the big advertising placard on the side of the cube is worth the ROI?

This can be a problem especially if one deal must close before the other.  I try my best to get people out the day before but doesn't always work.  There are also insurance problems if anyone stays after funding.  Another point is that people do not realize how difficult it is to clean an empty home.

Another great piece of advice from well seasoned and experienced realtors!  Have a great week!

Hi Sally & David,

I think we'd all live with less stress and clutter if we learned to throw out, declutter, remove or give something away every day. Unfortunately, many don't take this advice seriously enough until they are ready to move and then they struggle because it's so overwhelming.

Your advice is priceless!

Sally/David, Yes here too on Long Island closing day usually is moving day also. Any buyer or seller looking for a less stressful transaction in Southeastern WI should hire the Hansons!

Settlement day is the day when the seller gets the money and buyer gets the keys. But sometimes we have to  get creative when the actual move takes place.

Tough when movers are there and oops...a delay in settlement. STRESS is high!

Hi Sally & David.  Those sellers who wait to the last minute to  move are in trouble.
