selling a home Maggie Hatfield September 16, 2024
For most homeowners, selling a home feels less like a straightforward transaction and more like taking on a second job. A job that doesn’t just demand your money but also your most precious resource: time. In fact, according to recent data, selling a home can consume over a third of your waking hours, turning your life upside down.
So, if you’re wondering how to sell a home without sacrificing your personal time (or sanity), keep reading.
We all know time is valuable. Between work, family, and personal commitments, there just aren't enough hours in the day. Opendoor surveyed 1,000 recent home buyers and sellers to understand the true cost of time—of “Home Move Tax”—lost during the traditional real estate process. Here's what they found:
Selling a home can also take a toll on your well-being, with 85% of sellers reporting they lost sleep worrying about the sale. Here’s what kept them up at night:
Every moment you spend on the home-selling process is a moment you could be spending elsewhere—on your career, with your family, or just taking a breather in a world that already feels too fast-paced. Recognizing the hidden time costs of selling your home allows you to make more informed decisions.
And that’s why working with the right real estate professional is so important. Think of them as your project manager, advocate, and guide rolled into one. They handle the heavy lifting—from setting a competitive price and staging your home to coordinating showings, managing negotiations, and navigating the mountain of paperwork.
At 15 West Homes, we provide data-driven strategies for the local market, concierge-level support, and offer a proven process to sell your home in the shortest amount of timea at the highest price.
But beyond these tangible tasks, real estate professionals offer something even more valuable: peace of mind. By tapping into local market knowledge, extensive networks, and experience, they can streamline the entire process, helping you avoid common pitfalls that consume time and energy. This means fewer sleepless nights worrying about the next step, and more time for what matters.
