Understanding Relocating
A calm walkthrough of the situation.
Relocation timelines rarely match how long a traditional home sale takes. The right path depends on whether you can wait for the market, whether you're able to carry two homes, and how much certainty you want before you move.
Questions to consider
- When do you need to be in your new city?
- Can you afford to carry the home if it takes longer to sell?
- Does timing or certainty matter more to you right now?
- Would you consider selling and renting temporarily on the other side?
Options available
Every situation is different — here are the paths most homeowners consider.
Traditional sale with an agent
When you have time and the market is favorable, a traditional sale often produces the strongest net result. We can point you toward trusted local agents.
Rent it out
Some homeowners hold and rent — either short-term or long-term. We can help you weigh the responsibilities honestly.
Sell directly to IVGI Properties
When certainty and timing matter more than a top-of-market price, a direct sale lets you move on your schedule with a firm closing date.
Mistakes to avoid
- Waiting until the move is imminent to decide what to do with the home
- Underestimating carrying costs across two locations
- Assuming your home will sell on the exact timeline you need
