When we sold out condo we opened up a new bank account in the new area too. We waited until all the bills went through before closing it out. Just thought I'd throw that out.

Also on show days, we stayed at a hotel so the house stayed clean. And we painted every room white and laid laminate flooring to make it look bigger. It sold on the first day! So keep that in mind too that the more you can do to get it move in ready, the faster it will sell and you'll get the best return. Otherwise, sell it for less with the stipulation that you lowered the price for updating if it needs it.
