Transitioning your property status to 'Off-market' is crucial for homeowners who are looking to move within the next 12 months. By making this switch, you open the doors to potential buyers, allowing them to submit requests to view your property. This guide will walk you through the process and help you prepare for this next phase.
Switching to Off-market status:
Off-market status is designed for homeowners actively thinking of moving in the next 12 months. This status change signals to potential buyers that your property is now available for viewings and pre-emptive offers.
Alerting your waitlist:
By switching to 'Off-market', buyers can now submit requests to view your property. When you switch status, we will trigger notifications to everyone on your Waitlist, informing them that your home is open for viewing requests.
Reviewing and responding to offers:
As a homeowner with an 'Off-market' property, it's important to be prepared to receive and review offers. Even if your moving timeline is further away, responding to offers promptly is essential.
Responding to requests to view your home:
If you receive an offer that interests you, before you respond to the buyer, consider factors like the desired timeline to completing your sale, any financial contingencies relating to selling your home and and any specific conditions you may have for the sale.
Timeline Considerations:
If your preferred moving date is many months ahead, clearly communicate this to potential buyers. Managing expectations regarding timelines helps avoid misunderstandings and ensures that serious buyers remain engaged.
