Buying a house or residence is something that requires a lot of attention and careful consideration because a house is not just a place to live and do daily activities, but it is also a safe place that can support the lifestyle of the home buyer. This includes buying a house, which is a long-term obligation that needs to be taken care of. Therefore, before paying for a new home, you must be sure that the house you choose to buy will be able to be lived in without worry.
In general, those looking for a new home often have concerns. This is the case of Mr. Palm, a father of two children who is very active and wants to buy a new house so that his children can have a good childhood experience and so that his wife can travel to work more conveniently.
But one of the most challenging tasks for Palm was to sell the old house first and find a new house in an area close to her child’s school within 3 months. This was a very challenging task, and Palm started with the easiest method: posting a notice for sale on her own.
Posting a home for sale is easy, but harder than you might think.
One of the easiest ways for you Palm during the time of announcing the house for sale is to post the house for sale notice on the front door of the house and on the trees in the neighborhood. This makes life quite chaotic and causes many problems, both calling to negotiate a lower price than it should be, harassing calls, or requesting to make an appointment to see the house suddenly, which often happens.
It also made the neighbors feel that he had done something to make Palm uncomfortable because Palm had not told the neighbors that he was selling the house, which made Palm feel worried as well.
The most worrying thing while you Palm announced the sale of the old house, is finding a new house that meets the requirements. Therefore, having to sell the old house and buy a new house at the same time, many other problems come up at the same time. These problems should be problems for many people who are looking for a new house as well.
Don’t know whether to buy a new house or a second-hand house.
This problem often arises in our minds from the very beginning when we enter a website announcing the sale of a house. We will see houses for sale and new projects with advertisements showing up on the homepage of the website, which often makes us hesitate easily. Palm herself hesitated at first as well, but when we looked at the location we wanted and the budget that we set, new project houses were eliminated for this new home purchase.
Set the wrong price or budget for the purchase
For Palm at that time, the only option was a single-family home. Palm herself tried to estimate the budget from selling the old house and applying for a loan with her wife, but still could not conclude how much the bank would approve. Because at that time, she still could not find a new house, so she did not know how much money she had to prepare.
Concerns about the atmosphere, environment, and neighbors
This is another big problem for you Palm, and it should be a problem for many other people who are looking for a house as well. Buyers are often very concerned because, in addition to wanting to buy a new house in the right location, the surrounding environment is also an indicator of the quality of life in the new house as well. If the atmosphere is not as expected or some neighbors are not nice or friendly, it will make living in the new house difficult for a long time.
Want this house, but I can’t find it anywhere.
The main requirement for Palm’s search for a new home was to be close to her children’s school so that they could walk to school by themselves. This was in the area of her old home, not far from the old alley. So what Palm did when she thought of finding a new home was that she and her family would ride bicycles in the evening to look for houses for sale in the various alleys every day, just in case there were any houses for sale. But there weren’t any for sale. At that time, she started to give up on that area.
Friend’s advice for a better way
Previously, Palm had searched for houses for sale on various websites but had not found the right one. A friend at work suggested that she try using a real estate agent to help her sell her old house and find a new one. So, Palm went to Google again, and at that time, there were many agent websites. So, Palm started using agents to help her sell her house and find a new one.
The difficult task is the job of professional agents.
After Palm had several agents contact her to announce to sell the house and find a new house, almost all agents only accepted the task of helping to sell the house. However, no agent promised to find a new house in the area that Palm wanted. However, there was only one person, Khun Oi, a real estate agent that Palm had the opportunity to talk to from the DDproperty website, who confidently promised that she would find a new house for Palm within the specified time.
And so it was. After about 3 weeks, Ms. Oil was able to sell Mr. Palm’s old house and find a new house in the area that Mr. Palm wanted. The surprising thing was that it was the house that Mr. Palm and her family rode their bicycles past every day while they were house hunting. But Mr. Palm had no idea that the owner wanted to sell the house.
