Selling while not present.

Posted byDan NovakPosted inUncategorized

It is surprisingly common for a homeowner to reside in another part of the world and own a home in the Sarasota, Florida area. Many of these owners purchased the home to live here permanently or seasonally. Many baby boomers move here and then leave a home to their children who do not live here. Ultimately, life changes always happen and people decide to sell the home. It can be time consuming, inconvenient and costly to visit Sarasota. You want to be sure the home is properly prepared for the sale, maintained and secure during the showing period and pending sale phases. Humidity levels must be controlled. It is essential to have a nearby professional to monitor the showing process and ensure that the property is safe and secure.

If you are visiting your home in the Sarasota area and are leaving it for an extended period of time, Make sure you have proper humidity control, keeping the house under 50% humidity and below 88 degrees is ideal (this may vary if you have a piano or other sensitive items in your home). This plan requires a few small electronic items and some technical know-how. Please refer to our blog on preparing your home for extended leave.

Personally, in selling hundreds of homes, I have seen some strange situations. There are some people that have been burned so many times that they cant trust anyone. These types try to do everything themselves. They will sleep on an air mattress and try to stay at the house unnecessarily. In some cases the house is vacant. Each morning they wake up, deflate and hide the mattress and try to find a buyer. Usually they get so irritable and tired that they sell for a great loss, negating whatever commissions they were trying to save. .
