Life comes at you fast. One day you’re planning your commute, the next day your boss is telling you about a relocation package across the country. Suddenly, your house isn’t just your home—it’s an obstacle you need to handle yesterday.

If you’re staring at a moving deadline and a house you need to sell ASAP, don’t panic. Here’s a game plan to get it done.

1. Clean & Fix the Big Stuff First When you’re short on time, prioritize function over flair. Buyers will forgive outdated countertops, but they’ll hesitate if your plumbing is leaking or your HVAC doesn’t work. Focus on:

• Major systems (HVAC, plumbing, electrical)
• Broken windows or doors
• Any obvious safety issues

Once that’s squared away, move on to the cosmetic stuff like paint, flooring, or appliances—if you have the time.

2. Get Started Yesterday The worst thing you can do when you’re relocating is wait. Packing, cleaning, and tackling repairs all at once is overwhelming, so break it down into daily action steps and start now. The earlier you begin, the smoother the transition—and the less frantic you’ll feel when moving day shows up on your doorstep.

3. Sweeten the Deal with Price Buyers are always hunting for a deal. If you need to move your property quickly on the MLS, pricing it competitively is key. The catch? You might have to settle for less than your dream number, and there’s no guarantee it’ll sell before your moving deadline. It’s a gamble—but sometimes, it works.

4. Skip the Stress—Work with a Professional Home Buyer Here’s the truth: not everyone has time to patch, paint, and polish before selling. If you need out fast, there’s another route—sell directly to a professional buyer. Companies like ours buy homes as-is, for cash, and can close in as little as two weeks. No repairs. No cleaning. No waiting on banks.
