Selling a home can be a challenge for even the most hard-working homeowners. By the time you make it official, you might not have even had time to find a new place yet, much less storage for your belongings.  If you’re stuck in this predicament, use the following list of tips to your advantage.

3 Solutions for Those In-Between Homes

1. Arrange a Rent-Back Agreement With the Buyers

If you know going into the sale that you don’t have a place to move to, talk to the buyers about a rent-back agreement. This gives them legal ownership of the house but would delay their move-in for a month or so until your affairs are settled. Essentially, you would be renting the property from its new guardians.

2. Consider a Short-Term Solution

storageIf the buyers are ready to move in and you still don’t have a new place, seek out temporary living arrangements. If you can’t stay with friends or family members, look for a hotel that offers long-term stays. You might also consider an off-season vacation home that can be rented by the week or an apartment with a month-to-month lease.

3. Rent a Storage Unit

If you are able to stay at a friend’s house or in a hotel, it’s unlikely you’ll be able to fit an entire household of belongings into the space. Instead, rent a storage unit where you can keep non-essential belongings—still neatly packed and labeled so they are ready to move into your next home.
