If you’re hesitating on selling your home because you think you can’t find a new one, here’re several great solutions says LCT Team – Parks’ Realtor Margaret Orton.
Good Realtor Network Helps On Selling Your Home – Staying Local
A reputable, well-connected real estate agent can help you sell your home and stay in the area you desire, explains Margaret.
“A Realtor who has a good team and network can help you find your next home in a neighborhood or area you love. These agents are often able to find homes before they go on the market, helping their buyers get ahead of the competition,” Margaret said. “At Parks Realty, we have a network of 800+ agents, as well as our own talented, dynamic team, LCT Team – Parks. This helps our clients get ahead in the process and find a new home they will love.”
Consider New Construction
One of the ways the LCT Team – Parks has helped clients have more time for the home selling and moving process is new construction!
“We work with so many accomplished builders and have introduced our clients to some fabulous new construction lately. Building allows people more control over timing their move and eliminates the question – where will I go if I sell. There are lots of fantastic new neighborhoods our buyer clients have loved, so it is definitely an option worth exploring.”
Buy A Fixer Upper
Thinking outside the box can help you find your next great home adventure! We do have a tight home market, but one way to broaden your options is to consider a home with great bones in a good location which can meet your needs explains Margaret.
“Some buyers will pass on a property if it isn’t perfect, but they might be missing the opportunity to own something that could be a showplace. When we are able to help clients find that special property, we then connect them with our impressive resource list of home renovators, plumbers, painters, and other professionals we know can get the job done,” Margaret said. “Finding a home which needs updating but is in a great neighborhood can be a smart option and allows buyers to customize to their own taste and needs.”
Many buyers are willing to lease the home back to the sellers after the purchase. This helps both the buyer and seller because the buyer has secured a home and the seller has time to renovate their new home without having to first move into it. Win/Win!
Finding a home in a great location, well-maintained, where you only need to customize paint colors is always a great option like Margaret’s recent Forrest Crossing listing.
Move Further Out
If you love where you live but are having trouble finding the perfect replacement property, it may be time to look beyond the familiar.
“We have gotten very spoiled here in Middle Tennessee, with every convenience now right around the corner. But it hasn’t always been that way, and people forget that. Moving five or ten minutes farther away from the grocery store or your gym might FEEL for a moment like you are moving to the end of the world, but chances are you will be getting newer construction, more peace and quiet, maybe more space, and quite possibly a smaller house payment.”
There are loads of new developments in once-rural communities throughout the area. One of them could be just right for you!
Rent Or Take Your Home On The Road!
If 2020 has taught us anything, it is that we can be more flexible with where we work and live. Recreational Vehicles are not only on the rise, but there are wait lists for many popular models. Why not sell your home, rent a cool little place, and then buy an RV for mobile live/work adventures, suggests Margaret.
“Look at your friends on Instagram who’ve sold their homes and have now hit the beautiful roads of the U.S.A. It is such a fun alternative! Or, you might consider selling your larger property and buying a tiny home to use as your home base,” Margaret said. “Tiny home communities are popping up all over the Middle Tennessee area.”
