Possession of a Property. So when do I have to move out? I get this question more often than you might think.
I get this question more often than you might think. Possession of a Property is typically transferred at closing. If you are moving into another house and you have to be out of the house you live in, you have to have a plan.
How and when are you going to get from your current house to your next house? Most of the time when you close the sale, the buyer gets the keys right at the closing table. So unless some creative planning was negotiated upfront, you have to be out of your home at closing. If you haven’t arranged early occupancy on the next house, or arranged to stay at your house a couple of days longer, which can be difficult to arrange, and the seller of the house you’re buying doesn’t want the liability of you living in the house before closing, you are going to need a plan.
We typically suggest placing household goods into what is known as a pod or C-can. A C-can may also be known as a storage container, or even simply a shipping container. It’s a little more expensive than renting a storage unit, but it’s the simplest way to move because you just move everything into the pod, then the pod company comes and moves everything to the next house. Everything’s stored in one place, and you can move in one day, rather than having to load a moving truck, rent a storage unit for a few days, then take everything off the moving truck, then load up and move it again.
It’s important for you to have a plan of what you’re going to do, before you’re house goes under contract. And in our fast-paced market, this becomes even more important. We’ve got ideas to share with you, and as always, we want to set you up for selling success.
