Do you need to move because of a new job? Or maybe you are being relocated for a promotion? No matter your reason, our tips will make the process less stressful! In our latest post, we will provide information to help you sell your house for a job transfer in Rogers!
Career changes happen. Job transfers happen. Whether you requested it or not, there might very well be a time when you need to move for work. Moving can feel stressful and overwhelming, especially if you have a family coming with you. When it’s time to move, you have some options regarding your home. You can either list it, sell it on your own, or hold on to it.
Listing
The Costs
Listing your Rogers house can be expensive. Before your property is even advertised and shown, you will need to make minor repairs, professionally clean the house and tend to the landscaping. Your listing might also require additional costs depending on the arrangement with your agent and your market conditions. For example, you might need to hire a photographer and professional stager out of your own pocket in order to have a competitive listing. You will also need to factor in the agent’s commission and any other fees or costs you will pay at the time of closing.
The Time
The time between listing and the closing is costing you as well. Ask any real estate flipper, and they will tell you that the longer you own a house, the more it is costing you. While your house sits on the market waiting for a buyer, you will continue to be responsible for the mortgage payment, taxes, insurance, utilities and maintenance costs. If you need to sell within a specific time frame, you might want to steer clear of getting stuck in a binding listing agreement.
The Hassle Factor
You’re going to be packing and getting ready for the move. Let’s face it – it will be difficult to keep your house presentable for potential buyers to see it at its best. Do you really want to deal with a parade of tire kickers coming through your home while you are prepping for the move?
The Overall Value
Listing is a great option for some people, properties, and situations. However, for others, it doesn’t work out as well. After you factor in the costs and the time spent, the amount you receive could actually less than had you sod it directly. Run the numbers for your situation to discover which selling method is right for you!

However, after you calculate what you are saving, the difference is often negligible.
What Happens If You Don’t Sell?
Paying Two Mortgages
If you have a home in Rogers and another somewhere else, paying both mortgages can be painful. It can be difficult to obtain a second mortgage when you already have one on your Rogers house. Coming up with the additional cash while you are waiting for the first home to sell can be very stressful on you and your family.
Becoming a Reluctant Landlord
If the house doesn’t sell, you can always rent it out. Trust us, it is a lot more work in reality than it looks like on paper. Finding the right tenants, dealing with repairs, monthly maintenance and evictions can all be overwhelming, especially if you aren’t local to handle it all.
