How to Sell Your Union Home From Out of Town
How to sell a Union home after you have moved or while relocating: preparing the home remotely, showings, signing and closing from a distance.
Key takeaways
- You can sell a home without being in town for any of it.
- Your agent coordinates cleaning, repairs, staging and listing media locally.
- Keep a vacant home insured, heated or cooled, and checked regularly.
- Documents are signed electronically, and the title company can usually arrange a mail-away or remote closing.
- A power of attorney is an option for some situations; ask the title company first.
Preparing the home from a distance
- A video walk-through with your agent to plan repairs and staging.
- Local contractors, cleaners and movers arranged and supervised by your agent.
- Professional photos, video and a 3D tour so buyers can tour without you.
- Utilities kept on through closing so showings and inspections can happen.
A vacant home
- Tell your insurance company the home is vacant; policies often have vacancy terms.
- Keep the heat on in winter and the water heater and systems running.
- Arrange regular checks, lawn care and snow removal.
- Consider light staging so the home photographs and shows well.
Signing and closing remotely
Listing paperwork, offers and contracts are signed electronically. For closing, the title company can usually send documents to sign before a notary where you are, or arrange a remote signing. If you won’t be available, a power of attorney may work, but title companies have specific requirements, so ask them before you rely on one.
Questions sellers ask
Can I sell my house without being there?
Yes. Your agent handles the preparation, showings and inspections locally, documents are signed electronically, and the closing can usually be done by mail or remotely.
Should I leave my house empty while it is for sale?
Many out-of-town sellers do. Keep it insured for vacancy, heated or cooled, regularly checked and lightly staged so it shows well.
