I recently got a call from a lady looking for an apartment rental. She needed to find something but was not in a hurry. She said her home was selling in a month.
I explained how we hardly have any rentals in our town, she would have better luck in the nearby cities. I then said surely your Realtor told you of the severe shortage of rentals.
She said No, I sold the property on my own and I do not want to live in the city.
Me: Oh then I hope in your Purchase agreement it says you have to find suitable housing, a place to live.
No, I didn't know.
I felt so bad for her. She was concerned she was going to be homeless. I was not able to find a rental for her and I'm not sure what happened.
I understand some folks feel they can sell on their own and they have that option. Yet there are things a professional Realtor Does and Knows from their experience and training that can protect you and one of your biggest assets.
