At the beginning of the summer we decided to sell our house. We spent the next few weeks getting it ready and packing up 85% of our things. No easy task for Harper, that girl has so many squishmallows 🤪

Next we had to decide how to sell. A few homes in our neighborhood had recently sold, but they were never on the MLS. Turns out they were Ibuyers, the one most used was Offer pad but there are other companies too like Express offer, and Redfin. Offerpad was definitely appealing you can choose your move out date at your convenience, never have a showing, and not have to do any repairs or cleaning! The part I liked most was if you couldn’t find a home you could rent your home back for a small fee until you found something.

So why didn’t we go with the Offerpad offer? Well it was below what we could get if we used a traditional realtor, so much below that I could buy a brand new car with the difference.

In the end it all worked out, we really didn’t need to make any repairs since our house was newer, and we only had to do 2 showings. Buying and selling a home these days sure is different than the past, but nothing to be intimidated about! Now the real fun can begin, shopping for a new home 🏠
