TIMELINE TO MARKET
Suggested Timeline (which feels most realistic):
-
Today until the day we go to market: Market the property as Private Exclusive to check out our pricing.
-
This week: Confirm the work Jose is to do and schedule date for him to start
-
This week: Get a bid on full staging (interested? as it would definitely show better... but it is not cheap)
-
Thursday, 8/28: Meeting Todd at 24k
-
Thursday, 8/28: Meeting Corey (handyman) for bid on the list of items on your voice text
-
Thursday 9/4 to Tuesday 9/9: 24k Auction and Remove all belongings in the house.
-
