Selling Your Home While Living in it with Kids
Selling your house is a big, fat scary undertaking that comes with a fair amount of exhilaration when potential buyers line up to take a gander at your home. Before that happens, though, you have to prep your humble abode for sale—and that means keeping it in tiptop shape for showings. If you have young kids, you’re probably laughing or having an anxiety attack at this notion. After all, how on Earth can you get hundreds of Lego bricks, piles of dirty laundry, and the remains of that morning’s breakfast out of sight before you hustle everyone out of the house every single day? Any parent who has shared living space with a toddler will tell you that’s asking a lot. But don’t stress; we have some tips and tricks from the experts that will help you list and sell your home while working around your littlest residents. Article Courtesy of Realtor.com and Deborah Kearns.
Buyers Coming Over? Field Trip! Selling can be very disruptive to a family’s schedule, but try to make showing times fun so your kids get excited about showings instead of dreading them. Don’t forget to keep a small stockpile of activities, snacks, and drinks ready for those one-off showings where you need to grab and go.
Page 8
Get the Kids to Help Declutter The first task, obviously, is to declutter. Enlist your kids’ help so they feel involved in the process.
Let Them Pack Their Own Items Let your kids label and decorate moving boxes for extra measure. (What kid doesn’t love to go to town on cardboard boxes with a box of crayons or markers?!) Also, buyers understand that your entire life isn’t on hold for showings. Try to put toys away, make the beds, and keep the surfaces neat, but don’t obsess over the details in these rooms.

Applying For a Mortgage: Why SO Much Paperwork? There are two very good reasons that the loan process is much more onerous on today’s buyer than perhaps any time in history. 1. The government has set new guidelines that now demand that the bank prove beyond any doubt that you are indeed capable of affording the mortgage. During the run-up in the housing market, many people ‘qualified’ for mortgages that they could never pay back. This led to millions of families losing their home. The government wants to make sure this can’t happen again. 2. The banks don’t want to be in the real estate business. Over the last seven years, banks were forced to take on the responsibility of liquidating millions of foreclosures and also negotiating another million plus short sales. Just like the government, they don’t want more
However, there is some good news in the situation. The housing crash that mandated that banks be extremely strict on paperwork requirements also allowed you to get a mortgage interest rate probably at or below 4%. So Instead of concentrating on the additional paperwork required, let’s be thankful that we are able to buy a home at historically low rates!
