Arlington Real Estate Agent gives advice for those wanting to sell their home in today’s market.  Homeowners need to know options for moving from their homes.  Traditionally listing your home with a Realtor, listing your home on the multiple listing serivce, and putting out a sign could get your home sold.  The rules have changed in today’s market.  

Before any Realtor can be of service to you, it is essential that you have a goal in mind for your move, ie., time frame, where are you moving, what is your break even price, what if your home sells very quickly, and what is “plan b” if your home does not sell.  Many clients today are choosing to lease their home because after trying to sell, they realize they cannot get the money necessary to pay off the mortgage, they will not have enough to move, their investment is not paying at the rate they expected.  With the drop in home prices today, you should consider leasing your home through a professional property management company.  Please see our article on “Questions for your Property Management Company”.  Leasing your home may be the answer to saving your equity, covering your increasing payment, or moving for that new job.  Where leasing can be a bit daunting for the individual or investor, a professional company can provide background checks, criminal history, employment verification, and renters history helping place a qualified renter in your home while you move on with your life.  Management services can include securing your payment each month and providing tax documents at the end of the year.  Repairs, calls on weekends, and requests for service will be handled without interupting your family life or work.  Finding the right person to live in your home can be a great solution in today’s real estate market.  And, down the road, you may sell making the return on your investment you need.
