Are you planning to sell your family home and transition to a new home due to family ties?, needing more space?, upgrading your neighborhood?, want a vacation home?, time to downsize?, out of area relocation?, change of work?, change of life? Navigating this transition can be challenging & overwhelming, but with the right guidance, it can also be an opportunity to elevate your lifestyle and achieve your ideal goals. As a seasoned realtor with over two decades of experience, I combine expert knowledge with practical guidance in this video. Whether you’re a professional, executive, mom on the go, empty nester or retiree these tips are crafted for you. We’ll look into crucial aspects like home insurance considerations, tax implications, and home security—key areas that can significantly impact your upscale moving experience.

 

Understanding Homeowners Insurance Nuances

If you move out of your home before it’s sold, thereby leaving it vacant, reaching out to your homeowner’s insurance is a step you can’t afford to miss. It’s important to know the rules of your policy about how long a home can stay vacant. This knowledge is vital to ensuring continuous coverage and peace of mind. You may discover you have to change your coverage after a certain period of vacancy to ensure your home stays insured and protected. 

Navigating Tax Implications in Oregon

For those residing in areas like Oregon, being aware of state tax withholdings required by your escrow company during your property’s sale is crucial. Consulting with a CPA or tax specialist can save you from unexpected financial surprises at closing. I explore how to proactively manage these could-be unexpected surprises, delivering the elevated service you should expect. 

Securing Your Vacant Valuable Asset: Your Home

The security of your vacant property is paramount. I recommend smart home security systems and staging to secure and enhance your property’s appeal. Taking these precautions can both safeguard your investment and possibly raise your home’s market value and minimize days on the market.

Additional Moving Tips for the Affluent Homeowner

The process of selling and relocating from your premium property involves more than basic planning; it calls for a thoughtful approach that addresses the unique challenges and opportunities within this unique market. Every detail, from insurance considerations to tax implications and home security, plays a pivotal role in ensuring a seamless transition. Your move is not just a change in location; it presents an opportunity to enhance your lifestyle toward an elevated living experience while making sure all the moving pieces are covered.
