Relocating

Relocating and need to sell?

A new job, family commitment or unexpected move can make preparing and listing a property difficult, especially when time is limited.

MaliHaus can review the property and the owner's moving schedule to determine whether a direct sale may provide a more manageable path forward.

Two properties, one household

A relocation usually comes with a date that is not negotiable. Around that date sits packing, a new home to arrange, possibly a new school, and a job that is already demanding attention.

The problem is the overlap. If the move happens before the sale completes, the household is carrying two sets of costs, and the property being sold is now empty and several hundred miles away from the person responsible for it.

What tends to complicate it.

Not everything below will apply to you. Most owners in this situation recognise at least one of them.

The dates rarely line upThe new place is needed before the old one has sold, and the gap has to be funded.
Preparing a property while moving out of itRepairs, cleaning and photographs all have to happen in the same weeks as the packing.
Managing a sale from a distanceOnce you have gone, every showing, question and repair needs somebody local.
Employer timelines do not waitA start date is generally fixed regardless of what the property market is doing.

How MaliHaus may be able to help

Tell us the date you have to be gone and we will work to it rather than around it. Where we buy directly there is no lender on our side, so the timing has fewer moving parts than a financed sale.

If you need to close before you move, or to stay in the property for a period after closing, say so at the start. It is a normal request and it is easier to build in from the beginning than to negotiate later.

3 Ways to Sell

Every property is assessed against all three before anyone quotes a number. Which one applies depends on the property, its condition and the scope of the work.

01

We inspect it, then buy it ourselves

We complete a full property inspection to evaluate its condition, repair requirements and overall project scope. If the property meets our purchasing criteria, we move forward using our own cash with no lender financing to fall through.

Best when the property fits our direct-purchase criteria and you want a straightforward cash sale.
02

We improve it, then bring in an investor partner

If the project carries more risk than we want to take on alone, we may, with your written approval, complete select repairs while the property is under contract. By investing our own money first, we make the home more attractive to our investor partners and demonstrate that we have real skin in the game. That commitment gives our partners greater confidence to join the purchase and complete the project with us.

Best when some upfront improvements can create a stronger and more dependable path to closing.
03

Our national investor network competes for it

Through our partnership with a national real estate syndicate, we can present your property to investors across the country. Qualified buyers can review the opportunity and compete to purchase it, creating exposure beyond the local market.

Best when broader exposure and competitive investor demand could produce a stronger result.

How it works, in three steps.

Step 1

Tell us about the property

Share the address, condition of the property and the situation you are facing.

Step 2

Let us evaluate the opportunity

The MaliHaus team reviews the property, the repair requirements, the local market and the available purchase route.

Step 3

Review your options

MaliHaus explains which of the three selling approaches may fit the property. The owner decides whether the proposed solution works for them.

Questions people in this situation ask.

Can I close before I actually move out?

Tell us what you need. Staying on for a short period after closing can often be arranged, and it is much simpler to agree upfront.

I have already moved. Can this be done remotely?

Yes. We work with owners who are no longer in the state, and documents are handled electronically where the title company allows it.

Do I need to clear the house first?

No. Anything you do not want to move can be left.

My employer is covering relocation costs. Does that change anything?

It may affect what makes sense for you financially, so it is worth telling us. Some relocation packages include assistance with the property, which is worth checking before you decide anything.

Discuss Your Move

Start with the situation you are in, not a form. It takes about two minutes, you tap rather than type, and nothing here commits you to selling.
