Congratulations on your opportunity! A job relocation marks an exciting new chapter in your career path. Amidst the excitement, though, one of the most significant obstacles is selling your house for a job relocation. The solution is to sell quickly without studying the local market:
Relocating for a job presents a unique set of challenges that can turn the home sale process into a source of stress:
Traditional real estate transactions might work for leisurely moves. But not for job relocations:
Our service is designed to get rid of the common pitfalls of the home selling process when relocating for a job.

Preparing your house for sale involves extensive efforts to boost curb appeal, get a fair price, and pay for your moving expenses. You also have to stage your home to attract buyers. It also includes a pre-listing inspection to reveal any necessary repair costs. But when you sell your house to a cash buyer, like iBuy Homes, you don’t need time to invest in:
With iBuyHomes, selling a house is dramatically simplified.
You may be able to exclude a significant portion of capital gains from the sale of your primary residence if you meet certain ownership and use tests. Moving for a job can sometimes help meet specific criteria, but it’s best to consult a tax professional for personalized advice on your specific situation and to understand all applicable IRS rules.
Some relocation companies offer a “guaranteed buyout” program as part of a job relocation package. This means they may purchase your house directly if it doesn’t sell on the open market within a specified timeframe. However, these programs often have specific terms, conditions, and sometimes waiting periods.
Often, yes. Many job relocation packages include financial assistance or services to help with the home sale process. It can range from covering some closing costs and realtor fees to providing direct support through a relocation company or a guaranteed buyout option. The extent of coverage varies significantly by employer and the specifics of your package.
A cash offer might be slightly less than a top-of-the-market traditional sale price, considering the overall value. Our offer eliminates realtor commissions, closing costs, repair costs, holding costs, and the stress and time commitment of showings and negotiations. When you factor in these savings and the certainty and speed, a cash offer from iBuyHomes often provides the most favorable financial outcome for individuals on a tight relocation timeline.
Even with a job relocation package, selling your home to iBuyHomes can offer excellent benefits. A package might provide financial support or even a guaranteed buyout, our direct cash offer often provides more flexibility and faster execution. Many relocation packages still involve a traditional listing period or have specific stipulations. Our service bypasses these, giving you absolute control over your timeline and ensuring a fast sale without realtor commissions or ongoing carrying costs.
With iBuyHomes, you can typically sell your house and receive your funds in as little as a few weeks, or even sooner, depending on your needs. Our process is designed for speed, allowing you to close on your terms.
