A treasure chest of memories, both happy and bittersweet.
That’s what a home is to many who decide to sell, whether it be a voluntary liquidation or one forced by necessity.
“It’s easy for people to get bogged down in their attachment to a home, especially if they’ve lived there for years,” says Syble Ferguson, an associate broker for the RE/MAX realty chain.
One key to a good transaction is to accept the emotions that accompany a sale, yet not let them jeopardize your chances for the best possible outcome, Ferguson says.
When does the sense of loss hit most home sellers?
Remarkably, the full emotional impact often follows the decision to sell by several weeks and is felt strongly only after a written offer is handed to the owners, says Phyllis Zander, the managing broker of a Coldwell Banker realty office.
“If you’ve really loved the house, that’s when the back stiffens a little bit at the realization that someone else is going to move in,” she says.
Few are spared the trauma of letting go of a longtime dwelling. Generally it’s only those who are accustomed to making frequent corporate transfers or military moves who can walk away without some personal reaction to the selling process.
“Home selling is emotional for just about everybody,” says Mike Drew, the sales manager of a Century 21 office.
Selling is especially traumatic for those letting go of a home held by members of an extended family for more than one generation; those who are forced to sell due to ill-health or a death in the family; or those who have fallen upon hard economic circumstances.
