A new job or a transfer to another city is a huge deal! Congratulations! But then it hits you: you have to sell your house. And not just sell it, but sell it fast while you’re also trying to start a new life somewhere else.

Suddenly, you’re juggling a new role, a new city, maybe even temporary housing, all while dealing with the stress of selling your home from a distance. If you’re moving out of New Jersey, the last thing you want is a long, drawn-out sale with endless showings, picky buyers, and the constant worry of a deal falling through. Holly Nance Group are experts at dealing with these issues – contact us today.

The Sneaky Costs of a Slow Sale When You’re Relocating

When you’re paying for two places at once, every week your New Jersey home is on the market, it’s costing you. Think about it:

• Your NJ mortgage: That’s still there, probably $2,000 to $3,500 a month.
• Property taxes: Another $750 to $1,200.
• Insurance, utilities, and upkeep: Easily $300 to $500 more.
• Rent in your new city: That could be another $1,500 to $3,000 a month.

That’s a total of $4,500 to $8,200 (or more!) out of your pocket every single month. If your house takes three months to sell the traditional way, you could be out $13,500 to $24,600. And that’s if everything goes perfectly.

Why Selling the Old-Fashioned Way Is a Gamble When You’re Moving

• You’re on a tight schedule. The average home in NJ takes 45 to 75 days to sell, plus another 30 to 45 days to close. That’s three to four months of paying for two homes, and that’s the best-case scenario.
• You’re trying to manage everything from far away. Coordinating showings, inspections, and repairs from another state is a logistical nightmare. Even with a great agent, the big decisions are still on you.
• Buyers can be demanding. After a home inspection, buyers almost always ask for repairs or credits. Trying to hire and manage contractors from a distance is a whole other level of stress.
• Deals fall through. About 1 in 5 real estate deals fall through before closing, usually because of financing issues. If that happens, you’re back to square one, with months more of carrying costs.

We help people who are downsizing and relocating make smart, fast decisions about selling their homes.

Cash Sale vs. Traditional Listing: Let’s Look at the Real Numbers

A lot of people think that a traditional sale will automatically mean more money in their pocket. But when you add up all the costs, the difference is often a lot smaller than you’d think.

With a traditional sale, you’re looking at:

• Agent commissions: 5-6% of the sale price.
• Closing costs: 2-3%.
• Repair credits: Buyers almost always ask for these.
• Carrying costs: 3-4 months of paying for two homes.
• The risk of the deal falling through: This can cost you even more time and money.

With a cash sale to Holly Nance Group, you have:

• Zero commissions.
• Zero fees.
• We pay the closing costs.
• No repair expenses.
• Closing in as little as one week.

When you do the math and see what you’ll actually walk away with, you might be surprised to find that our cash offer is just as good, if not better, than what you’d get from a traditional sale.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I sell my house if I’ve already moved?

Absolutely. We can handle the entire process remotely, including the property evaluation, offer, and closing. We can even send a mobile notary to you. A lot of our sellers have already relocated by the time we close.

What if my job is offering relocation assistance?

If your employer has a relocation package, take a close look at the details. Some programs will guarantee a purchase price, while others just reimburse you for selling costs. A cash sale might be a better option, or it could work well with your employer’s program.

How fast can you really close?

We can close in as little as seven days if everything is straightforward. For most people who are relocating, two to three weeks is the perfect amount of time. It’s fast enough to save you from paying for two homes for months, but it still gives you time to get everything organized.
