How To Avoid The Hidden Costs Of Moving When Selling Your Home Quickly
You’ve got your home in Nanaimo on the market and have done everything that your realtor told you to do to sell your home quickly.
Maybe you’ve livened up the landscaping, put on a fresh coat of paint, and did a bit of de-cluttering. You’ve done your homework, so you know that your home for sale is priced right to sell and your real estate agent is bringing in qualified buyers that have your home at the top of their to-buy list.
After only a few days on the market your phone rings. It’s your realtor, telling you that she has an offer to buy your home that she thinks you’ll be very pleased with, and could she drop by in an hour to discuss it with you?
You knew your realtor was good, and you were pretty sure your home would sell fast.
But not this fast!
By planning ahead you can avoid some of the hidden costs of moving that can turn a fast sale into a not-so-happy experience.
Some of the hidden costs of moving include:
Finding a new place to live – If your home sells fast you may not have time to find a replacement to purchase and will need to consider a short-term rental instead.
Utility deposits – If the utility or cable company can ask for a deposit, they will. Budgeting for this expense can help avoid any surprises, even when your credit is top notch.
Eating out – If you’re working during the day and trying to pack everything up when you’re home in the evening, chances are the last thing on your mind will be cooking. Take out meals can add up, but when you’re packing under a deadline you may not have a choice but to order out.
Moving companies – Enlisting a professional mover can be expensive, and prices may vary quite a bit. Instead of waiting until your home has sold, it’s a good idea to interview moving companies in advance so that you’ll have time to consider the different options available.
