Build the timeline from your report date
List pack-out, final inspection, travel, temporary lodging, and report dates. Decide whether you want to close before leaving Columbus or use a remote closing after the move.
Price the cost of waiting
A longer market sale may produce a higher price, but it can add mortgage, utilities, lawn care, insurance, travel, and repair coordination. Include those costs when you compare net proceeds.
Keep the house sale separate from the move
A direct buyer can purchase the property as-is and coordinate one walkthrough. That option helps when you cannot supervise repairs or return for repeated showings after leaving the Fort Moore area.
