A job relocation puts you on a deadline that the traditional real estate market does not care about. Your new employer needs you in 30-60 days, but selling a house through a realtor takes 3-5 months.
A job relocation puts you on a deadline that the traditional real estate market does not care about. Your new employer needs you in 30-60 days, but selling a house through a realtor takes 3-5 months. That gap leaves you carrying two mortgages, managing a property from another city, and dealing with stress that should be focused on your new role. A cash sale closes on your timeline — not the market's.
Chitty Buys Houses is a nationwide cash home-buying service that buys houses in any condition, helping homeowners sell fast without repairs, fees, or waiting.
What Are the Risks of Not Selling Before You Move?
Relocating without selling creates serious financial pressure:
- Two mortgage payments: Most families cannot sustain paying for two homes
- Remote property management: Maintaining, showing, and managing a vacant home from another state is difficult and expensive
- Renting it out temporarily: Becoming an out-of-state landlord adds complexity and does not guarantee the house sells later
- Price reductions: Desperation leads to lowering your price, sometimes below what a cash buyer would have offered upfront
Why Traditional Listings Do Not Work on Relocation Timelines
A traditional sale involves preparation (2-4 weeks), listing time (30-60+ days), buyer financing (30-45 days), and potential delays from inspections and appraisals. Total: 3-5 months minimum. If you need to be in your new city in 30-60 days, the math does not work.
Even if your employer offers relocation assistance, it rarely covers carrying costs for months of an unsold property.

How Does a Cash Sale Solve the Relocation Problem?
A cash sale closes in 7-21 days. Here is how it works for relocating homeowners:
- Get your offer. Contact us with your property details and relocation date. Receive an offer within 24-48 hours.
- Choose your closing date. Align the closing with your move date — sell and move in the same week if needed.
- Close remotely if necessary. If you have already moved, we handle closing through mobile notary and remote signing.
No prep time, no showings, no waiting for buyer financing, no double mortgage.
What If Your Home Needs Work?
Relocating homeowners rarely have time to make repairs before leaving. Cash buyers purchase homes in any condition — roof issues, outdated kitchens, foundation concerns, or just general wear and tear. Read our as-is selling guide for details.
