Selling your Sacramento home when your employer is moving you away

The short answer: If your employer is moving you away from the Sacramento area, Maggie or I can list and sell your home, planning the preparation, the price and the timing around your start date. Your employer’s relocation policy decides what help you get, so read it first.

What the sale looks like

A plan built around your start date, so the home is ready and on the market at the right time and not at the last minute.
Honest pricing, shown with the recent sales behind it.
Careful preparation. I look at a home with a designer’s eye and tell you what is worth doing before you list and what is not.
Coordination with your relocation policy and your relocation team, if you have one.

The loan on your next home

Maggie, our broker, can look at how the sale of your Sacramento home and the purchase of your next one fit together before you make an offer.

A note on money and taxes

Relocation benefits and home sales can have tax effects. I cannot give tax or legal advice, so please talk with a tax professional and your relocation team before you decide.

Questions people ask

Can you sell my home if I have already moved?

Yes. We can plan the preparation and the sale from a distance, with video walk-throughs and regular updates, and tell you honestly what the home needs.

Does my employer’s policy change how I sell?

It can. Some policies include home-sale help and some do not. Read yours and ask your relocation team before you list.
