The Local Element
July 22, 2024

If you’ve decided to sell your house for a reason that may not be ideal, we are here to help. Selling while in distress is something we are not strangers to. This may include selling while getting a divorce or selling a house for a loved one that has passed.

Regardless of the reason, you are taking on a large project while going through some major changes in your life. We want to make sure you feel supported and taken care of during the home sale so that you aren’t taking on more than you need to in this difficult time.

Let’s talk real quick about a few things you can do to make this process easier:

As we already mentioned above, we are here to help you! It’s important to get professional help when selling a house (especially in distress) so that you can rely on someone to think completely clearly while you’re mind may be on other things.

We are here to help you each step of the way; from discussing steps towards getting the property ready to listing it online to negotiating. All of these are things you shouldn’t have to worry about while dealing with other life issues.
If you are by chance facing financial distress, we may want to consider other options such as short sales or foreclosure alternatives. These options could help to avoid foreclosure and minimize the impact on your credit.
While selling during difficult times is challenging, you will want to remain flexible (this will obviously depend on the situation). Depending on the market, negotiations may be at the forefront of your sale and we will want to be prepared for that.
It may be difficult in certain circumstances, but we will always advise you to stay positive. It can help to surround yourself with the right people during this time such as family, friends, and industry professionals. The right people will walk alongside you during this difficult time while reminding you to stay positive as you find the right solution for your situation.
Allow us to connect you with the right industry professionals to assist you during the sale of your property. Many people will be joining along this journey with you and we will want to make sure each person is the right fit for the situation you are in. We have a large database of trusted local providers that we can’t wait to introduce you to when the time is right.

This is just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to selling during distress. We would love to guide you through this process and help to make it as easy as possible for you.
