I live in Michigan and own a home. I may move down to Florida for a job if I am offered it, but I am not sure how to make that possible. I have a wife and 1 year old son, and we would be able to stay with family in Florida for about 6 months,until I get my home in MI sold, so I can purchase one in florida. The problem is that the housing market is really bad in my area and I am not sue if I will be able to sell it when I'm in Florida. Any ideas? How do people do it? What if nobody will give me a good offer and I'm stuck with a job in FL and own a home in MI? I'm sure a realty company would do it, but I dont want to pay them too much of a percentage to sell it (I have only lived there for a year, and would lose alot of $ if I had to pay 6% to them).

It is going to be very hard to show it if you aren't even close to your home and do you want people coming and going without supervision. I would highly recommend a real estate company and negotiate any commission, it shouldn't be a set in stone number. Then there are bridge loans that may be available which helps you get from one home to another..I would ask a trusted lender in your area. And then the company you are going to work for: do they offer relocation? or do they have a business relationship with one that you may speak with. Or there is the rental option until you build a little more equity.
Good Luck!

In Texas it is only 3%. There are a few real estate companies that will buy the home from you and then sell it at a markup. Try calling around to see if you have any in your area who do that. No matter what you do, either way you go, it's going to cost. Your question to yourself should be "are you willing and able to see to the sale yourself?" I wish you luck, on the selling of the house and your new job. God be with you.

The first thing you must do is make sure you will like Florida. I had two people in my family that moved to Florida, the hated it and budged out in 6 months. They went to Atlanta GA. You should rent out your house see if you like Florida first. A real estate can help you with this.

I relocated one time for work. It was a very short notice relocation. We rented our house out and moved. Over a 12 month period, we did put our former house (the one we rented) on the market and sold it. If you think you can hang on that.... hope for a mature, stable couple to rent your house.
