I have moved before, but not by myself (and 2 dogs) across multiple states. I own a house and want to sell my house to then rent in a new state (to make sure I like the new city before I buy). I don’t have any rental history though because I’ve always owned. I am a nurse so luckily finding a new job should be fairly easy.
I am thinking that it might be best to get a real estate agent in the area I’m moving to for help finding a rental. Since the housing market isn’t great right now, should I work on selling my house first and then look for a job and a rental when my house is under contract? Thank you for your input!

Yeah I’d definitely sell first or at least get it under contract before making the move – having that cash in hand makes you way more attractive as a renter even without rental history. Plus you don’t want to be stuck paying two mortgages/rent if the sale drags on longer than expected
