If you think it is hard to sell a house in this economy, you are in for a surprise. Moving Home has succeeded in making sure that houses sell faster, and seeing that all the details of moving are handled, stress-free. Moving Home is a free program developed about a year ago to help people move to Fox Run.
Here are three questions people frequently ask about the program.
Q. How long will it take to sell my house?
A: In today’s market, it usually takes 5-6 months to sell a house. When Moving Home has been involved, houses have sold on average in about half that time. Of course, how fast your house sells will be determined by where it is located, its condition, and several other factors. But Moving Home has an enviable track record in seeing that the houses of people moving to Fox Run sell quickly.
Q. I have no idea how much my house is worth. Can Moving Home help me?
A:
We certainly can help. Moving Home has worked with many local real estate companies that are especially good at determining the value of your house. We will recommend one based on your particular circumstances, and will oversee everything until your house is sold, and at a fair price.
Q. Can Moving Home recommend someone to help me move after my house sells?
A:
We will do much more than that.
First, we will help you decide what to take with you from your house. Using a floor plan of your new home, together we develop a layout with your furniture and other possessions in place. If you choose not to take some items with you, we help you distribute them to relatives, sell them, or simply give them away.
Second, when you are ready to move, we recommend a dependable packing company to carefully handle your things. That company also unpacks your possessions in your new home, and puts them in their correct places.
