Most people do not have the luxury of perfect timing between a job offer, the sale of their current home, and possession of a new home.
Markets move differently in each city, corporate start dates are fixed, and family needs (school terms, caregiving, partner’s job) add extra layers.
Many relocation problems begin in a document nobody reads until something goes wrong: the home‑sale policy. When key terms are vague or outdated, every file becomes a negotiation rather than a process. Language that once fit a different interest‑rate environment or a slower market can quietly hard‑code unrealistic assumptions about sale timelines, acceptable variances from list price, or how and when support is triggered.
