What Sandy and Kicker mentioned re: storage is also what I've done (when I sold my condo).
Before listing is when I opted for storage.
When I thought I may have to relocate (past couple of years), I worked with an agent who also "networked" with agents in other areas - to assist with making the transition flow easier.
Good luck to you, and the best, in whatever you decide.
