Navigating a hot real estate market can be challenging for some. It is a fast-paced environment with many working parts. And if you want to participate whether you are a buyer or a seller, acting fast is the name of the game.

Many experts agree there are several details you need to have in place if you are going to participate in a hot real estate market. And if you are reading this in the year 2021, and you are thinking of selling your home, you have probably seen how much activity there is in this current real estate environment.

You should have a good real estate agent by your side, have your financing buttoned up ahead of time and be prepared to negotiate items such as home inspections, contingencies and other things that generally go with a real estate transaction.

Make sure you call a moving company first

You need to put the job of contacting a moving company at the top of your list if you are going to be selling your home in an active real estate market.

If you delay the task of calling your local moving company, you could end up in a situation where you have nowhere to live for a period between homes. You’ll make a place all your items and storage and find temporary housing.

It is not uncommon in these active real estate markets to have to be out of your home within 30 days. The competition for buying homes can be fierce and you can see dozens of people lined up at open houses. On the spot offers are very common and bidding wars are commonplace.

Because of this, you may have to move very quickly, shortly after signing and agreeing to a purchase and sale agreement.
