Sell
Your House "As Is" For A Fair Price
Home buyers are getting
choosier about the homes they'll buy. Since many areas
are flooding the market with newly built homes buyers
get accustomed to fancy showrooms and financing deals.
This means tough competition to find a buyer that sees
the potential in a home that needs a little work, without
substantially lowering your asking price.
WHY CAN'T I GET A FAIR PRICE?
In many cases buyers EXPECT your home
to be in 'move-in' condition before parting with their
money. They see new carpets and freshly painted walls
in showrooms and are judging your home with the same
measuring stick. What does that do?
It changes what people are willing to
pay. You receive offers subject to negotiations - meaning
YOU have more work to do before the sale takes place.
Others may simply try to give you a ridiculously low
offer if they buy 'as-is'.
If you have pressing circumstances that
mean you can't do the work or can't afford the time
it would take to have the work done you may take one
of these offers, losing thousands of dollars of value
just because it was the best offer on the table.
That's how the real estate market works,
unless you look for another option.
REAL ESTATE INVESTORS CAN TAKE OVER
YOUR BURDEN
Real estate investors know the market
you are selling in. They are not put off by stains on
the carpets, fading paint or any of the other typical
wear and tear that comes with lived-in homes.
You can find real estate investors who
will take on all of the hassle of cleaning and prepping
your home for new buyers - all the while taking over
your payments so YOU don't have to wait for the closing
before moving on.
You save yourself the hassle of finding
a buyer that's willing to give you a fair price for
your home while also being relieved of the work involved
to make it look what its worth. This can be very important
when a move needs to be made right away but you simply
don't have the time or ability to fix things up.
SHOULDN'T I USE A REALTOR?
Try to find a realtor that can sell
your home ON THE DATE YOU CHOOSE, giving you a FAIR
PRICE and doing the FIXING UP for you! All they can
do is list your home to the market - the market will
decide what they'll pay, not the realtor. Instead you
may be talked into doing the work yourself or lowering
your price - not always an option.
Remember that an investor is a BUYER
- you will not be paying them to list your property,
they will be purchasing it from you or taking over the
payments until a buyer is ready to purchase. You will
not pay commission fees and other usual closing costs
- you just sell your home. Have your home evaluated
and find out the process involved - its easier than
you think!
