Are you in the process of trying to sell your current house? Check out this previous video: 5 Home Selling 🏡 Pitfalls You Need to Avoid ua-cam.com/video/mEs1l_Cyp_M/v-deo.html
Why SELL your house?? I took forex trading as my part time job and I invested with the help of mr Carlos and I got $6,500 after a week, I wish I had done this 3 years ago lol. I'm grateful how he boosted my financial status. All thanks to @carlos_1uptrades on Instergram am making a living trading forex reach out to him for help and dont sell that house
We are in this scenario. She's spot on. One "tweak" we're incorporating is a massive decluttering and depersonalization of the house we occupy. Minimal furniture, no pictures, everything that we don't NEED is in a box and stored in closets or garage. We aren't going to be decorating it like a show house. People may say it's empty and clean slate, but it's easier to envision carpet, paint, furniture space, and other modifications for the new buyer. Additionally it exposes repair or upkeep options before showing the house. After your pictures or video, get a POD and plop it in driveway. You can extend pickup dates by 30 days if the offers aren't ideal. As always your mileage may very.
I don't like getting a referral from my old realtor for a new realtor in the new town. The old realtor takes a sizable chunk of the new realtor's commission for that referral. That makes the new realtor that much less interested in you. . Besides that I'm happy to be down here in SWFL. I'll hit my one year mark down here in a little over a month.
I can’t tell you enough how much this video has helped me!! By far the best video on UA-cam that explains this process so clearly! Thank you, thank you, thank you!
Good advice from Melanie here! We just worked with Melanie on a move from California to the Tampa Bay area and she was awesome. Her advice here is right on and will make your move much less stressful.
Funny, we’ve been learning about Tampa from your vids and when I searched “how to move before selling”, this was first to come up. Look forward to speaking with you in about a year about moving to Tampa!
thanks for the tip. It'll be about a year from now before I will enter this stressful period. I am going to sell my home in Portland, OR and hopefully move to Jacksonville or Tampa area by next year (june/july). I know my home will sell it's just that I feel I need to move all of my stuff out into Rat Pack storage so work can be done to make it so much more appealing. My best guess from what I see from other homes being sold in my neighborhood is less than 30 days. So that means I will have the funds to look for another home in FL so I may be homeless at most 60 days! lol. I may end up getting a trailer to pull to florida and stay in it until everything pans out well. Another factor is I must get hired in FL at my current company if there's an opening so I don't want to miss out on that aspect. Looking forward to more of your videos.
@@tmomo7265 hello back. i was there in July and loved it. I got there just before sunset and was surfing by the pier even as it got dark. Was told shark likes to come in at dark. lol. Opsie. Got a great friend show me around St. Augustine where she lives. Then got to see my Aunt who lives in Boyinton area. Ended the trip in Clearwater Beach riding a wave runner before my flight.
I bought beautiful apartment here in Tampa bay, I was sure that I will love Florida. Instead of rent and check If I like to be here I just bought it. I miss New York, this is not the same and I want to be back. I think I’ll sell my condo sale by owner because you’re taking too high %
Hi Melanie. I enjoyed your video which makes it clearer in selling and buying. My question that I'm not clear about is...if I need the cash proceeds from the sale of my current house for the down payment of the new house...at what point do I begin the loan process? Don't I have to show the lender I have the money to put down on the new house? This is where I'm confused. Any clarification/suggestion is greatly appreciated.
Thank you so much for this information. I do have a question. If that escrow period is up to 60 days or longer on the current home, and if I’m using that time to process the loan, how would they give me a new loan for the new house since I have the current home for sale with a contract on it and haven’t went to closing yet? Next question, what do I need to do first to see if I even qualify for a loan? Do I get pre approved first then start to put my home on the market for sale? Or do I get it on the market then get pre approval? I don’t want to start the selling process and then find out I can’t get a loan for whatever reason. I really hope my question makes sense and I appreciate your help!
This is amazing. We are currently selling and buying and have spent so much time looking for the new house and confused about the process. Although we will be staying in the same area, it's good to know how the process works. Do you have any advice about how to manage time if your current home sells and you can't find a new home?
HOW DOES IT WORK WHEN MY REALTOR FOR SELLING MY HOME CONTACTS THE AGENT IM BUYING A HOME FROM WITHOUT CONTACTING ME SHOULD THIS BE SOMETHING CONCERNING
The agent i am suing to buy a house advice me to offer $5,000 over the asking price on the house. saying other sellers have bid on the house. i won the bid but i never got to house loan.and the house still on sale-???
Hi Karen! That’s a great question and depends on a few factors. Because the market has balanced a bit there are less multiple offer situations now. Depending on the strength of your contract on your current home, a seller may accept the home to sell contingency, even before your contingencies have been removed. Depends on the popularity of the area and the home you want to offer on 😊
hi im moving to florida tampa bay/st petersburg area next year for end of highschool years and college is there any things i need to know before moving i have a canadian passport does that change things for me?
Hey, I've been a subscriber for about 6 months now and was wondering if you can help me with areas to research in Tampa.. my budget is 200,000 (give or take) for a home. and chances are I will land a job with my experience in the Clearwater/ st Petersburg area so as long as my drive isn't to long (45min or less preferred) are there any places you would recommend me to research? I like the Riverview area but I'm sure my drive will be well over a hour and other then that I'm having trouble finding homes in decent areas to raise my young family (wife & 2 toddlers) I plan on moving in a year or so! Thanks for the videos I enjoy them 😊

The PODs are where they'll give you time to pack your stuff, and then pick it up and transport it, right? What was the cost?
This video (which aren't many on this topic) is God sent, thank you

Did you sell your home in Portland and move yet? We are also trying to figure out how to sell and moving to Idaho.

What if I do a subject to and let someone take over my mortgage? Can I still get the benefits of buying a new home without all the hassle?

Do I need to wait till all contingencies have been removed from my current home sale, to make offer on homes in new city. I will be a cash buyer.
