We just relocated to NC! We put our house on the market at the end of July and right away got a ton of showings. At that point I knew it was going to sell fast. We went into contract in the middle of august so at that point we knew we wanted our on or about close date to be October first. I then started to apply for jobs (and rentals!)and in my interview I told them I planned to be there oct 1st as long as everything with the sale of my house went well and they were ok to wait for me if they had to and I was offered the job! So once our buyers had their loan commitment and after speaking with our lawyer we decided to move before we closed and gave the lawyer power of attorney. This way we didn't have to stress about me pushing off my start date at my new job. So we moved out of our house September 30th, spent the weekend in DC to break up out Drive and the moving truck arrived at out new place on Monday oct 3rd. and thankfully everything went smoothe with finding the rental and I started my new job October 10th. We actually didn't close on the house til October 23rd and I was beyond stressed until it actually happened! But after all said and done it went as well as it could! We are so happy we left LI and will be building a home here in the spring!!!!
ETA: DH and I work opposite shifts so we don't need much babysitting for the kids. So he waited til we got down here til he started applying for jobs just so I could get through orientation and on to night shift so we didn't have to stress about babysitting. He looked up job opportunities bbefore we moved and knew he would have no problem finding something and got multiple job offers and started working the beginning of November
Thanks so much for sharing all of this!!! It makes me so feel better about the possibility of selling first. I'm glad everything has worked out for you. How are you liking NC?
We love it here!! Weather is great, people are nice, we live in a great neighborhood with lots of kids and Family activities! We have an awesome community club with a gym, indoor pool, outdoor pool with water slide! The houses are gorgeous! We're renting a brand new town home and will be building a home in this same community!
