WILL SAYS
Start with your plan, not the house. Where you are going and when shapes every other choice.
What happens and why
Are you buying another home here, moving away, or downsizing? Your timing and where you are headed shape the whole plan.
Do this now
- ☐ Pick your ideal move-out date.
- ☐ If you are buying again, talk to a lender now.
- ☐ Ask your agent what you might net at today’s prices.
Will’s tip
If you are buying too, decide early whether you will sell first or buy first. Every other choice follows from that.
Smart questions to ask
- When do I need to be out?
- Can I rent back for a short time after closing?
- What would I net at today’s prices?
