All seller situations

Job relocation

A move for work comes with a start date. The house, meanwhile, has no idea. Trying to keep it ready for visitors while you pack and meet a new employer's deadline is a lot to ask of anyone.

  • Takes about 2 minutes
  • No obligation to sell

What this situation usually means

Selling the usual way means timing a listing around a move you cannot easily move. If the house sits, you may carry two housing payments.

If you cut the price to hurry, you lose equity you counted on. A direct sale lets you plan backwards from your start date.

You get an estimated offer, sign if it works, and choose a closing date. Because the sale is done remotely if needed, you do not have to be in town for it.

How Covent helps

  • We close in 14 to 60 days from a signed contract, so you can match the move.

  • We buy as-is, so no repairs or touch-ups eat into packing time.

  • You can sign from your new city, because the paperwork can be done remotely.

  • If you need to stay a little past closing, tell us. We can talk through it.

What we need to look at

  • The address, and the date you need to be gone by.
  • The condition, and what you still owe on the house.
  • Whether anyone is renting or living there now.
