F.U.Q: New Baby On the Way, Do We Have Time?
DWELL DENVER F.U.Q. (Frequently UNASKED Questions)
Today’s Dwell Denver Difference F.U.Q.: New baby on the way, how do we get this house sold and into a new one in time?
“My wife and I are pregnant with baby number 2 and we’re busting at the seams. How can we possibly get our house sold and into a new house before the baby comes?”
Like this:
We run a simultaneous track…shopping for a new home AND getting your house ready for the market. When we’re done looking for homes on Saturday, you’ll go home and finish that de-cluttering, pre-packing so we can get into your current home with our stager, photographer, cleaner, etc. We want to have your house ready to put on the market as soon as you find your replacement home.
What, the seller won’t take a contingent offer in this market (meaning, a seller won’t say yes to your offer as long as the contract states you HAVE to see your home before you buy theirs)? Well, because sellers are typically in the driver’s seat in this market, when we find a buyer for your current home, we negotiate a “rent back” situation, meaning you close on your home and rent your home back from the buyers for up to 60 days, while you find a new home, have the ability to write a non-contingent offer and close before the rent back period is over.
We give this process a long runway. Get us involved as quickly as possible so that we can get going on the marketing services for your current home and get out there to preview for your new home. There’s nothing worse than getting into the third trimester and have the prospect of packing, moving, unpacking and setting up a new home right before or after the baby comes. If you let us know as soon as you think you want to do this, we can help you time it right!
Bottom line is we are more than ready to help you create a strategy to get your current home sold and get into a bigger house before the baby comes. Trust us, we do this ALL the time!
At Dwell Denver, we make real estate really simple so you'll feel confident and in control every step of the way.
