Selling a home while living in another state might sound overwhelming—especially when you’re juggling jobs, kids and daily life from hundreds of miles away. But with the right plan and the right team, it doesn’t have to be stressful.
Recently, we helped a family sell their home in Delaware while they lived over 650 miles away. They never had to hop on a plane, miss work or second-guess what was happening. Here’s how we handled it all—and how we can do the same for you.
We Took Care of the Fix-Ups and Repairs
When the family reached out, the home needed a few updates before it could shine on the market. But they weren’t local. Flying back and forth to deal with their property wasn’t a convenient or realistic option.
This is why we took care of everything for them. Here are some of the key steps we completed on their behalf:
- Walked through the home on video to review needed repairs
- Coordinated local contractors and service providers
- Oversaw the work and confirmed it was done right
- Helped them make smart, cost-effective decisions regarding repairs and upgrades
From painting and cleaning to staging, we managed the entire process—right down to making sure the lights were on and the lawn was trimmed for photos.
Constant Communication—No Surprises
One of the biggest fears when you’re selling from out of state is feeling “out of the loop.” That’s why we made communication a priority.
- We sent weekly updates (sometimes daily, during key moments)
- Shared videos and photos of every milestone
- Made sure they understood what was happening and what was coming next
- Handled all the paperwork digitally
“They made us feel like we were right there—even though we were in another time zone,” the seller said.
We know how important it is to trust the people on the ground, and we don’t take that lightly.
Local Knowledge + Smart Strategy = Fast Sale
With the home ready and looking great, we helped the sellers price it right based on nearby sales and buyer demand. Our marketing team built out:
- A professional photo and video package
- Listing exposure across all major sites
- Social media posts and email blasts to reach the right buyers
Because of the preparation and strategy, the home sold quickly and above asking price. This was all done without the sellers ever needing to return in person.
