Selling a home from another state might sound impossible, but we have seen firsthand how smoothly it can go with the right team in place. A few months ago, we worked with a homeowner, who we’ll call Frank, who had a rental property in the Phinney Ridge neighborhood of Seattle. He had lived in this home for years before moving on to a new place nearby. Eventually, life took Frank to California where he began planning for retirement and found his dream property with the chance to build his ideal home.
Of course, building that dream home required cash. From hundreds of miles away, he reached out to us at Georgia Buys to explore selling his Seattle property. James, our acquisitions manager, jumped in immediately. Frank and James toured the outside of the home together over FaceTime, reviewed photos of the inside, worked through negotiations entirely over phone and email, and within weeks, we had a deal. He received earnest money up front and the rest of the purchase funds at closing, all without ever leaving California.
This story is not unique, but it highlights an important question many Seattle homeowners face: what is the best way to sell when you live out of state (or even on the other side of the mountains)?
Thinking about selling your Seattle property but live out of state? Let us show you how we can make the process as smooth and stress free as possible.
If you choose to list your home on the open market while living in another state, be ready for a challenge—and a significant out-of-pocket investment. Most real estate agents will recommend that you:
Frank told us plainly: “The thought of spending thousands to fix things up and flying back to Seattle more than once just wasn’t worth it.” For many out-of-state owners, the financial burden of preparing, listing, and carrying a property can be just as stressful as the time commitment.
For homeowners like Frank, Georgia Buys offers a different approach. Instead of preparing the home for the market and managing every detail in person, we work directly with you no matter where you live. Here is how we make it easy:
Have questions about selling remotely? Reach out today and we will help you figure out the best path forward for your unique situation.
Instead of pouring money into repairs, staging, and travel, we make you a fair cash offer based on your property’s current condition. That means:
Just like with Frank, we handle everything remotely: virtual tours, electronic signatures, and mobile notaries for closing. He was able to stay in California, focus on building his dream home, and keep thousands of dollars in savings that he would have spent trying to sell on the market.
Selling a Seattle home while living out of state does not have to drain your wallet or your energy. Whether you have relocated for work, retired to sunnier weather, or simply moved on to your next chapter, we can help you unlock the value of your property without ever stepping foot on a plane.
Our team at Georgia Buys is ready to guide you through a remote, hassle-free sale, just like we did for Frank, who never left California while turning his Seattle home into cash for his future.
