What time do I have to be out of the house?

This is one of the most common questions I get asked. The answer: it depends. As soon as the deal is closed, technically, you don’t own the house any more, and the new owner can make you leave. Practically, I advise my buyer clients to be patient and let the move finish. If you are selling, you should be prepared to move as early as 10am – if the sale closes later, just consider it extra found time.
