Relocating? Sell Your House Before You Go
Congratulations on the new job opportunity! Whether you're moving across the country or just a few states away, it's an exciting new chapter.
But there's one major complication: your house.
You need to be in your new city soon - maybe in just a few weeks. You don't have time to make repairs, stage the house, wait for showings, and hope the right buyer comes along. And once you've moved, managing contractors, coordinating with agents, and handling a home sale from hundreds of miles away sounds like a nightmare.
You need your house sold quickly so you can focus on your new job and starting your new life - not flying back and forth dealing with property issues.
There's a better way to handle this.
Why Relocating Homeowners Choose Oak Tree Home Buyers
We specialize in helping people who need to sell quickly before relocating. Here's how we make it easy:
Close Fast - Before You Move: We can close in as little as 7-14 days. That means you can have cash in hand before you leave town, without needing to come back for closing or manage the sale remotely.
1
​No Repairs or Updates Needed
You don't have time to hire contractors and oversee renovations. We buy houses as-is, so you can skip all that and focus on packing and preparing for your move.
2
No Showings or Staging
You won't need to keep your house pristine while you're trying to pack and prepare for a cross-country move. No strangers walking through while you're in chaos mode.
3
Certainty and Speed
Traditional sales can fall through when financing doesn't come through or inspections reveal issues. Cash sales with us are certain - no financing contingencies, no surprises.
4
No Long-Distance Management
Once you accept our offer, we handle everything. You don't need to manage the process from your new city or fly back for multiple appointments.
The Problem With Traditional Sales When You're Relocating
Listing your house the traditional way creates real problems when you're on a tight timeline:
Time You Don't Have: The average home takes 60-90 days to sell. By then, you'll already be in your new city, juggling a new job while trying to manage a home sale from a distance.
​​
Showings Are a Hassle: Your house needs to be show-ready at all times. When you're packing boxes and preparing to move, that's nearly impossible. And once you've moved? You'll need to arrange for a lockbox and trust strangers to walk through unsupervised.
Managing From Afar: After you've relocated, every decision requires long-distance coordination. Agent check-ins, inspection negotiations, repair requests - all happening while you're trying to settle into a new job and new city.
​​​
Holding Costs Add Up: Every month your house sits empty in Georgia, you're paying the mortgage, insurance, utilities, and taxes. At $2,000+/month, those costs eat into any "extra money" you might make from a traditional sale.
Deals Fall Through: Buyer financing doesn't come through. Inspections reveal issues that scare buyers away. You drop the price and start over - from across the country.
Won't I Get More Money Listing It?
Possibly - but let's look at the real numbers:
Say you list at $250,000 and sell for that price after 75 days on the market. Here's what comes out:
-
Agent commission (6%): -$15,000
-
Repairs and updates to get market-ready: -$8,000
-
Three months of holding costs (mortgage, insurance, utilities, taxes): -$6,000
-
Closing costs: -$2,500
​
Total deductions: $31,500
Your net: $218,500
Now compare that to our cash offer of $215,000:
-
No commissions: $0
-
No repairs: $0
-
Close in 2 weeks, so minimal holding costs: -$1,000
-
We cover closing costs: $0
​
Your net: $214,000
The difference is only $4,500 - and you save 2+ months of stress and long-distance management.
For most relocating homeowners, the speed and certainty is worth far more than that small difference.
Our Process for Relocating Sellers
Step 1: Quick Assessment: Call us or fill out the form. Tell us about your house and your relocation timeline.
Step 2: Property Visit: We'll come see the house - usually within 24-48 hours. This takes about 15-20 minutes.
Step 3: Cash Offer: Within 24-48 hours, you'll have a straightforward cash offer in hand.
Step 4: Choose Your Closing Date: Moving in two weeks? We'll close before you leave. Need a month? That works too. You control the timeline.
​
Step 5: Simple Closing: We handle all the paperwork and coordinate with the title company. You sign and get your check. Done.
Even After You've Moved
Already relocated and left your house behind? We can still help. We'll handle the property visit ourselves (you can provide photos or arrange for us to get access), and you can sign closing documents remotely or with a local notary. You don't need to come back.
