You pick the closing date
Can you buy my house in Philadelphia quickly if I am relocating?
Yes, and a date you have to meet is one of the clearest reasons to sell this way. You pick the closing date. In many cases we can close in as little as 14 days once title is clear, or later if you need to line it up with a move.
What if I need to move before the house sells?
That is fine and it is common. You do not need to be here for closing, and you do not need to leave the house empty or clean. Leave what you do not want, go when you need to go, and we handle the rest.
Who looks after the house between my move and closing?
Nobody needs to, beyond keeping the insurance in force. It does not have to be heated, checked weekly or kept presentable for viewings, because there are no viewings. That is usually the difference people notice most between this and leaving a house sitting on the open market.
Can I do all of this from another state?
Yes. Everything including signing can be handled remotely, and a good share of the properties we buy belong to people who have already left. You will not be asked to fly back for a walkthrough or to sit at a closing table.
My job start date is fixed. Can you work to it?
Usually, and it is the first thing to tell us rather than the last. A fixed date is easier to work with than a vague one because everything can be planned backwards from it. Where the date is very tight we will say so honestly rather than promising it and missing.
What if I need to close later rather than sooner?
That is equally fine and people forget it is an option. If you need three months because of schools, a notice period or somewhere to move into, say so. The date is something we agree, not something imposed on you.
Should I rent it out instead of selling?
It depends whether you want to be a landlord in a city you no longer live in. Some people manage it well. Others find that repairs, tenants and agents follow them across the country. It is a real choice and we are not the right people to make it for you.
Do I need to keep the utilities on after I go?
Keep the water and electric on until closing if you can. It costs little and it means the house can be looked at properly, and in winter it stops pipes freezing in an empty property. Everything else can go off whenever suits you. Tell us if anything is already disconnected.
What do I do about the keys if I am already gone?
Post them, leave them with a neighbour, or leave them with the title company, whichever is easiest from where you are. It gets arranged between us nearer the date. Nobody expects you to fly back to hand over a set of keys, and it has never held up a closing.
What if the relocation falls through after I have agreed to sell?
Tell us straight away and we will talk about it properly rather than pointing at paperwork. Relocations fall through and people's circumstances change, sometimes at very short notice. We would far rather have that conversation with you than hold somebody to a closing date that no longer makes any sense for them.
