How to sell your house in 10 days

2011-07-01T11:58:20Z

Lots of websites claim that you can sell your house in 10 days.

These “we buy houses” websites claim that you can sell your house in 10 days and be done with the entire transaction.

Imagine that: call, contract, close, cash in hand in less than 10 days.

Can it be possible in this market?

The Secret to the 10 day house sale.

Let me fill you in on the secret to selling your house in 10 days.

Price or terms.

Before I explain how that works, let me share with you two reasons normal real estate transactions take so long

1. Price at market level. If you want top market dollar to sell your house fast, you will not sell your house in 10 days. Those days are over. Bidding wars for houses are rare. Your house is like 200 others on the market that people can look at. It might take 30-120 days for a buyer to even choose your house.

2. Banking delays. If your buyer needs a bank loan, you’ll have to wait 45-60 days in current market conditions for a bank approval. And sometimes, banks will not loan on a house even if the buyer agrees to a price. I’ve got second hand stories of banks killing an agreement because they don’t like the price.

To close your transaction quickly, you’ll need to avoid the banks and have a cash buyer.

How to sell your house in 10 days.

Cash home buyers are professionals who either buy houses to fix and resell them, or buy houses to hold them as rentals.

These cash home buyers are looking for returns on their investment, not a home to live in.

For any of these “we buy houses” people to deploy their cash, it’s got to make a good return.

Thus, you as the seller must price your house according to the formulas they need to make a good return.

If everyone around you is asking for $100,000, and you will sell your house for $60,000, you’ll sell your house in 10 days, depending on the condition of the property. By the time the house is fixed up and resold, the investor may only make 10-15% return after expenses.

If everyone around you asks for $100,000 and you will sell for $90,000, you’ll not sell your house in 10 days to anyone in this industry for cash.

Terms

If you will be flexible and allow for terms such as taking over payments or holding a note for the equity, you can get a much higher price and close your transaction in 10 days or less.

The seller of one house I dealt with was willing to wait 5 years for her funds – she got an above market price in less than 10 days because she offered terms.

Another house seller let my buyer to take over the mortgage payments and that gave her a closing in less than 14 days.

To Sell Your House in 10 days

If you want to sell your house in 10 days or less, these are some of the criteria you’ll have to consider to help make it work.

Would your ugly house pass FHA Inspection?

2011-06-23T12:09:26Z

We buy houses fast.

In some markets, these will be resold to first time home buyers who often are using FHA or VA loans to secure their house.

One reason people come to us to sell their ugly house fast is that their outdated or ugly house will not pass an FHA or VA inspection, or even inspection for a section 8 rental. While this is not an article focused on such inspections requirements, you have to consider this in your pricing.

How FHA inspections influence your selling price

A seller called me wanting to sell his ugly inherited house fast for a certain price.

A partner went out to look at the house to determine if we could buy this ugly house fast.

The end goal was to buy this house fast, fix it up and resell it to a first time home buyer. In this current market, that often means an FHA insured loan, or a VA loan.

Going through some of the requirements of such inspections, the partner came up with a list of expected repairs to pass that inspection to a future buyer: $30,000.

The seller was not prepared to see that his house needed $30,000 in repairs. But many of those repairs would be needed to meet FHA requirements for first time home buyers.

To make a deal work, this seller would have to come off his asking price by $20,000, because of the additional repairs and ugrades required by the needs of an FHA inspection. He knew this ugly inherited house needed work, but he wasn’t aware of the extent of work needed.

FHA inspection requirements force a price change. The seller could choose to fix up his own house and sell it for full market value – or simply settle for the lower price and walk away from it.

In this market, FHA and VA will impact the price at which you can sell your house to an investor.

If you want to get rid of your house that has too many repairs, call us during normal business hours, eastern time 804-915-9475.

Sell house fast for cash in Richmond

2011-06-15T02:56:35Z

Do you have a house you need to sell fast in Richmond VA?

It could be there, or anywhere in the country.

Perhaps you need to sell your house fast for cash because of

Divorce
Relocation
Inheritance
Foreclosure
Job Loss

These are common problems that can happen to anyone.

What can you do?

Wait for a real estate agent to sell your home? If there isn’t enough equity to pay their commission, they might not even list it. The alternative if you don’t have much equity is for you to come out of pocket with a check for thousands of dollars just to cover the agent’s commission, closing costs and taxes!

Not to mention the additional monthly payments you will have to make while you wait and hope that your agent finds a buyer.

The national average is 6 months to sell a house! For most people that is a less than desirable situation.

That is not how to sell your home fast.

We are professional hombuyers that will help you sell house fast for cash in Richmond Virginia.

How to sell your house fast

2011-05-31T21:46:38Z

You are looking for how to sell your house fast in any market.

You might have a variety of reasons, reasons that have influenced your decision to dump your property at the lowest tolerable price.

That is the key to sell your house fast:

Make it the lowest price that you can tolerate.

There are so many good deals available from banks who are giving their foreclosed houses away at .55 -.60 c on the dollar.

That’s your competition. You’ll have to compete with them if you want to sell your house fast.

If you want to be sure to sell your house fast in two weeks, you have to price it next to the low hanging fruit – the bank foreclosed homes.

In the current market, it’ll take about 4 years to deplete the currently foreclosed homes. So if you want to sell your house fast, you’ll have to take the lowest tolerable price.

Your next steps

If you want to sell your house fast, I can help you. But you’ve got to help me with the price.

My house in Virginia won’t sell

2011-05-28T11:33:41Z

You’ve tried to sell your Virginia house fast via traditional means:

Perhaps with a realtor
Perhaps on your own as a FISBO.
Maybe tried a few “We buy houses people.”

But the house won’t sell for the price you are asking.

I know the frustration that has caused. I’ve bought houses that I couldn’t resell.

Each month making payments on a mortgage on a house I couldn’t sell fast.

Each month worrying about vandals damaging the house while I was waiting for the house to sell fast.

Some of these were ugly houses that I wanted to sell.

Some of these were houses I had fixed up.

I know what an emotional challenge it is to sell a house fast that won’t sell.

Your Solution: Fix the price.

When it comes to houses, that’s the way to get it sold. Change your price.

Make the price attractive to investors who will buy it.

Buy My Vacant House

2011-05-26T03:20:07Z

We Buy Vacant Houses

Do you have a vacant house?

Is Your House Vacant?

There are several different reasons why your house will often sit vacant.

Here are some vacant house reasons I’ve run into

Inherited house after the passing of the family member who lived in it.
Condemned by a government authority
Toxic houses for mold or other environmental issue.
Fire damage
Or maybe you’ve had to move and leave your house vacant.

Problems for Vacant Houses while waiting to Sell.

It may or may not be by choice, but it is almost always a problem for the owner.

One seller had tried conventional means to sell his house. While it sat empty:

A homeless man had moved in.
Theives stole the Air Conditioner Unit motors
Vandals broke windows.

When I first visited the vacant property, I encountered a homeless man sleeping on the sofa left there to stage the vacant house.

You likely know that unoccupied and vacant houses have a tendency to draw unnecessary attention to themselves.

Many times it’s the unwanted attention from neighborhood kids or others who see it as an opportunity to break out windows or vandalize the house.

I had the gutters stolen off one of my vacant houses while I was working on it. Another one — the pipes froze and burst overnight. . . Water ran for up to three days. Damage!
