Sell Your Property, Get a Free Move: How the Offer Works

What the free move offer is

Allpoints Moving Services partners with Riv Buys Properties, a family-owned cash property buyer. The offer has one moving part: sell your property to Riv Buys Properties, and your move with Allpoints is complimentary, packing aids included.

It exists because selling and moving are two halves of the same job. Most sellers have to line up a buyer, a closing date, and a moving company separately, then hope the dates hold. Here the buyer and the mover already work together, so the sale and the move are planned as one project.

Allpoints has been family-owned and operated since 1999, is licensed and insured, and moves customers nationwide. Riv Buys Properties evaluates properties anywhere in the country.

How to sell your property and get a free move, step by step

1. Tell Riv Buys Properties about the property. Start at rivbuysproperties.com or through the sell and move section of our site
2. Get a written cash offer in 24 hours. The offer comes with no obligation. You can accept it, decline it, or take time to compare it with other options
3. Choose your closing date. Riv Buys Properties can close in as little as 7 days, or on the date you choose. There are no fees, no agent commissions, and no repairs, because they buy as-is
4. Schedule your move with Allpoints. Once the closing date is set, we plan the move around it
5. Close and move. The sale closes, and your move with Allpoints is complimentary, packing aids included

The details of your particular sale and move are worth a conversation, so ask either team to walk you through them before you decide.

What kinds of property Riv Buys Properties buys

The offer is not limited to single-family homes. Riv Buys Properties buys:

• Houses
• Multi-family properties
• Apartment buildings
• Commercial property
• Land

They buy as-is, so a property that needs work, has sat vacant, or still holds years of belongings can still be evaluated. If you are selling a building your business operates from, our commercial moving crews handle offices and other workplaces, commonly on nights and weekends.

The honest trade-off of a cash offer

A free move is a real benefit, but it should not be the only reason you choose how to sell. Look at the whole picture.

A cash offer may come in below a potential retail sale price. Listing a property in good condition on the open market, and waiting for the right buyer, can bring a higher price. What a direct cash sale gives you in return is:

• No repair bill, because the property sells as-is
• No agent commission and no fees
• No financing delay, since the sale does not depend on a buyer's mortgage approval
• A closing date you control
• A complimentary move with Allpoints, packing aids included

For some sellers the higher possible price of a listing is worth the wait and the work. For others, certainty and speed matter more. Because the written offer carries no obligation, you can get the number first and decide with real information. Our guide to timing your closing date and moving date shows why a firm date is worth so much when you are also planning a move.

What to expect from your move with Allpoints

Allpoints is family-owned and operated, has been moving households and businesses since 1999, and is licensed and insured. We work as a contract carrier for one of the biggest van line moving companies in the country, which is what makes moving clients from all over the country possible. Allpoints offers local moving, long-distance moving, packing and unpacking, furniture disassembly and assembly, and loading and unloading.

Under the offer, the move is complimentary and packing aids are included. Every household is different, so tell us early about the size of the home, where you are going, and anything unusual such as a piano, a safe, or a storage unit. Ask either team exactly how the complimentary move with Allpoints applies to your situation, and get the answer before you sign.

How to plan the move around your closing date

A closing date you choose is the biggest practical advantage when you sell a house for cash and move in the same stretch of weeks. Use it well:

• Work backward from your deadline. A job start, a school year, or a lease tells you when you need to be in the new place
• Give the move enough notice. We suggest 1 to 2 weeks of notice for local moves and 3 to 4 weeks for long-distance moves, more in summer and at month-end
• Load before you close. Aim to have the truck loaded a day or two before closing, not the same morning
• Sort while you wait. Selling is the best time to move less. Our moving checklist lays the work out week by week

Questions to ask before you accept

A fair offer holds up to questions. Ask these of any cash home buyer, free moving offer or not:

• Is the offer in writing, and how long is it good for
• Are there any fees, commissions, or costs deducted from the price
• Can I pick the closing date, and can it change if my plans change
• What does the complimentary move cover for a home my size and a move my distance
• Who do I call with questions between acceptance and closing

If you owe money on the property or the sale involves an estate, a divorce, or a tax question, talk to an attorney or a CPA as well. This article is general information, not legal or tax advice.
