4 Ways to Emotionally Detach from Your Pleasanton Luxury Home

 

Selling your home can be a challenging process especially if you have lived there for quite some time. Your home holds special memories and is an important part of your identity. However, when the time comes to sell your home, having a “love affair” with it can work against you and make your Pleasanton luxury home for sale stay on the market longer.  Here are some tips for emotionally detaching from your home so that it is easier to sell:

Selling your Pleasanton luxury homes for sale is not easy if you already have a distinct emotional attachment to it.

1. Think of your home as a product to be marketed

If you are still emotionally attached to your high end real estate for sale in Pleasanton, it will be more difficult to see it as a product to be marketed. If you are not emotionally prepared to sell, you might make the mistake of listing your home at price that’s higher than the market will bear. An emotionally attached seller usually sabotages the home selling process subconsciously.

2. Concentrate on the future

Instead of wallowing in sadness, cherish all the wonderful memories you have had in your home. Accept that moving on does not mean that you are going to totally forget about the past. To be able to detach from your home, imagine what you will have and what you will do in your new property. Focus on the benefits and advantages that the big change can bring to you and your family.

These tips will help selling your Pleasanton luxury homes for sale easier and less emotionally draining.

3. Stop calling your house your home

To create a psychological distance between you and your house, you should stop calling it your home. Doing so will give you time to create the emotional distance you need. You need to see and start referring to your home as a property. When moving day comes, it will be less emotionally exhausting for both you and your family, especially if it’s the only place you have ever called home.
