Psychologists say that moving ranks high on the list of stress-provoking events - up there with a death in the family, divorce and job loss. Moving involves changes, and change creates stress.
You can ease the stress-load by going about your move in an orderly fashion. The first step is to find the best professionals you can to assist you.
A good listing agent (Robert Pitts) will tell you what you need to do to get your home ready for sale. He can arrange the marketing efforts to minimize the inconvenience to you and keep you continually well-informed. Understanding the process helps to reduce anxiety.
Dissatisifed home buyers and sellers often complain that their agents didn't communicate enough during the sale process. Check Robert's references to find out that he will be sensitive to your needs and will give you top-quality service.
There are a lot of little details to keep track of when you buy and sell homes. A really good agent is super organized. Robert will make sure that everything gets done on time.
The other professionals involved in the real estate transaction can also make a big difference. A good mortgage broker or loan agent will arrange your financing with a minimum of hassle. A disorganized or inexperienced mortgage originator can create a nightmare experience. Use a pro who comes highly recommended.
Be completely candid about your finances with your mortgage originator - including, and especially, any credit glitches that could stand in the way of approval. A good loan originator can often package a problem loan so that credit defects, or marginal income qualifying ratios don't become road blocks.
Make sure that your entire team of real estate professionals is top-notch, including inspectors, your escrow officer or closer and your attorney (if one is involved). Inexperience in any of these vital areas can lead to headaches.
FIRST TIME TIP: Buying and selling homes takes time. Most people underestimate how much time it takes. Also, keep in mind, most home buyers are busy, usually working to pay for the new home.
If you're buying or selling with a partner, divide the tasks between you so you're not duplicating efforts. Both of you don't need to see every home on the market that might work for you.
Initially, you should both tour four or five homes with Robert. This will give Robert the information he needs to screen the inventory for you. After the initial tour, one of you can preview future listings until you find something you think your partner should see.
Likewise, with lining up financing; one of you can serve as the main contact with your loan originator. Also, buyers should attend the home inspection, but both buyers don't need to be present at every inspection.
Use fax, voice mail and e-mail as much as possible. Make sure the professionals you work with can accommodate you on this.
Make sure your purchase contract provides for the use of facsimile signatures on contract-related documents. This way critical documents can be signed and faxed, eliminating the need to drive long distances at inconvenient times. Originals can be mailed later for signatures.
Reduce other stress factors in your life as much as possible during this transaction. For example, don't volunteeer your home for dinner parties while you're on the market and plan to have day care conducted elsewhere.
THE CLOSING: Keep in mind when you're feeling stressed out by the moving experience that these feelings are normal; they will pass.
I will certanly do everthing I can to take on most of the stress and keep you very confident that your transaction proccess will go as planned.
