Children and Moves
by Carol J. Van Wagner

Things will go a lot easier if your children support your efforts to get your current home sold. It is important to encourage the children to participate in selling the house by keeping their toys and clothes picked up. Teenagers may be especially touchy about strangers invading their space, and may resist keeping their room in “showing” condition. It is also important when showing your home to give buyers the free space to look around without the family being there.

How can you get the whole family involved in the sale? Include everyone in the discussions about the move and invite the children to participate in house hunting trips. Work with a Realtor who is comfortable with children and can remain sensitive to your children’s needs and concerns.
