are you getting divorced and you need to sell a house do you want to keep this whole thing as low stress as possible
well in this video i’m going to tell you how to create a divorce house sale plan and calendar as well as discussing some
other super important things that you need to know up front because if you’re getting divorced in the san francisco bay
area how you go about selling a house while divorcing is going to be different than what you might be reading online
from other parts of the country our market moves super fast and you need to keep it tight and organized.
Hi, my name is Tanja Odzak-Goppold, and I’m a top producing agent here in oakland in the greater east bay
area and i understand the challenges of selling a house due to divorce. divorce sucks no matter what!
and often the challenges are not with the sale of the home but in the dealings with your soon-to-be ex.
so let’s get you guys ready let’s make a
plan and let’s get it going
for this video i recommend listening all
the way through once and then once more
with the calendar in hand
i’m going to work my way backward from
the date that you want to go on the
market so that way you can start
planning the timing of the sale
so pick the date that you want to go in
the market right now from your go live
day your realtor is going to need a one
to two week prep period to get your
house ready to go on the market this is
going to be
landscaping deep cleaning staging photos
et cetera with some time belts in for
delays some
houses need a little more time some need
a little less but regardless go back
once two weeks from your go on the
market day
the other thing that you need to know is
if somebody is still going to be living
in the house while it’s on the market
it is possible to still live in the
house while it’s on the market but
honestly it’s going to be
easier if the house is vacant chances
are that once your house goes on the
market it’s going to be in escrow within
a couple weeks
and then it’s going to be sold three to
four weeks after that
it is possible to negotiate some extra
time but that’s a topic for another
video which when it is ready it will be
located up there besides your house has
to be cleared out anyway in order to go
on the market or at least
relegated to the garage the issue with
living in the house while it’s on the
market is needing to keep it super clean
and free of smells
and presentable at all times because
people
are going to be coming by to view the
house haphazardly throughout the day
and if you are someone who needs to work
from home due to covet
then this is not going to work for you
at all plus if your house of stages most
bare area homes are when they’re on the
market for sale
do you really want to be living in a
house full of staging and also
household staging means no pets so how
long is it going to take you to move out
of the house go back this amount of time
from the prep period then there’s
repairs and upgrades that may need to be
made for the sale
i usually sit and discuss these with my
clients in advance
because it’s highly variable it’s budget
driven and it’s going to require
planning
generally big projects or remodels are
not
necessary check out my video up here to
learn more about that
but depending on the house there may be
some projects that are worth considering
