MOVING is a very stressful experience. Here are the best ways to beat the stress.
Start from where you want to be.
How will things look like you get there? How can you make it better? List all the things need to be done once you are there.
Have some extra money on the side.
Anything can happen between signing the agreement and the closing day. There are so many protections for the buyer these days, that just about anything can be a reason to renegotiate what was already agreed upon. Your agent should work hard to close all the loose ends as quickly as possible.
After inspections, the buyer usually has a list of items to be looked after, don’t take personally. Look at it in a very objective way and have your agent to sort these little problems out.
Let the process work its way.
There are lots of things to do, do not panic. Have some trust in the process and in your agent
The process step by step.
Everyone in this process will look like is taking over your life. You are the seller and you are just to follow directions to get the transaction closed to achieve your goal (selling the house). The buyers, their lender/appraisal, the collection of inspectors (home, termite and septic) and repair people if anything needs to be repaired. Make sure that your professional agent knows what he/she is doing and make sure that all loose ends are tied.
What are your options?
Assuming things don’t go as well as anticipated. Don’t let emotion take over. Discuss with your professional agent all your options before you make a decision.
You Signed, what to do next?
Take your mind off of the sale. Don’t sit and count days and hours. Let the process take care of that. Sports and movies are usually best in these situations.
