We will Buy Any House
This sounds almost to good to be true but the offset is the amount of the cash offer. It should come as no surprise that houses in disrepair will appropriately command lower offers. We are one of many websites that include this statement.
There are alot of promises in the real estate investing world including 3 day closings, 100+% of market value, etc. These types of statements should be looked at critically and care should be exercised to assure that you understand what is being offered and all the details of the proposed transaction. The counsel of an attorney you trust is critical. You should never let someone making a cash offer for your house provide an attorney for you, or pressure you in any way.
What we are going to tell you is the truth: How you can actually sell any house quickly yourself with or without our help.
Using us to buy your house
We are interested in buying properties just like all of our competitors. We strive to make sure that from inception to completion everyone we work with understands what the process is, what expectation they should have and to complete every transaction as we have proposed. This commitement becomes clear in the details of every aspect of the process. As an example, even if you don't know an attoney, if you find and hire one, you can be confident that he will look at for your interests. This is why we require this and never will recomend or provide an attorney to a home seller.
How can I sell my house?
What are the different ways you can sell your house.
Real Estate agents
For many people selling houses in desirable areas, the guidance a real estate agent can provide is worth the commission they charge of around 4.0% of the purchase price. For this commission they will usualy list your property on MLS as well as many of the secondary sites like Zillow, Trulia, etc. They will hold open houses and schedule showing for prospective buyers and usually can offer guidance to the homeowner through the process.
Online real estate websites
There are a number of well established online websites that can be used to list your home. These include www.forsalebyowner.com, zillow.com, trulia.com, etc. These sites allow you to list your house for sale usually for a monthly fee. Many homeowners who are a little more comfortable use these sites as a way to save on the 4% commission charged by real estate agents. Without listing on the multiple listing service, these sites may not provide adequate exposure to the pool of potential buyers so sellers should monitor this carefully.
We buy any house companies
Homeowners who are trying to sell distressed properties or need quick deals generally consider the quick sale process. Borded up houses, houses that require significant renovation or houses with tax or mortgage liens pending can present unique challenges to the seller. Companies that buy any house are generally a great option for owners of these homes.
Unlike using a real estate agent or an online portal, you will not normally pay any commission or fees to sell your house via this option. But all companies want to make money and property buying companies are certainly no exception. Normally they will aim to make their money by adding some value to the property (such as a new kitchen or bathroom) and then re-sell the property back onto the open market. Whilst this is great for sellers who just want to sell their house without doing any refurbishment works, you are leaving money on the table using this option. However, overall we think selling to a ‘we buy any property’ company is a great alternative for houses, which would be difficult to sell using other more conventional methods.
Summary
You have many options when it comes to selling your house. With that said most sellers will end up using a real estate agent to list thier property in the conventional way. Even if that is what you are considering, you should at least review the available alternatives.
