Selling Your Home: Why we make sense

Selling your home to JenniferBuysHouses makes sense in this market.  We do what we say we are going to do.  That includes a no repairs, AS-IS, cash offer on your home. There is no getting around it, it is tough to sell a house these days.  When it’s time to sell your home, you should consider us as part of your home selling solution.

Why?

We are the buyers.  We are not real estate agents, nor do we try to sell your house to other investors (typically the case).

We don’t fall out of escrow.

We don’t ask for repairs, credits, termite fumigation or any other costly items.

We use a third party escrow company that is licensed and bonded.  You are assured to get paid.

We take roughly two weeks to close escrow.  It’s all about the paperwork and getting it done quickly, so escrow can move along in a timely manner.

We communicate with you every step of the way.  You need to feel good about the process, so we keep you in the loop during escrow.

It’s not often the case to meet a real estate investor who has your interests at heart.  That is the case with me, always has been, always will be.  We appreciate home owners who have chosen to trust us with buying their home.  We do our best and don’t let them down.  We get the deal done in a timely and efficient manner.

Sometimes, there are glitches along the way having to do with title.  We will work with you, the escrow company and the title company to get it cleared up and get back on track.  I guarantee you that other investors will not do that, they will walk away if things take too long or get complicated.  We have a network of professionals to call upon to get the deal done.  Call me today!

You’ve decided to sell your home.  Your home is your castle.  You probably have some of your best memories while living in your home.  Selling your home is an emotional time.  But don’t be emotional when it comes to these 4 areas.  This is where you can really lose a lot of money and time.

First, price your home to sell.  The number one mistake that home sellers make is pricing it too high, hoping that a buyer will think your home is worth as much as you want it to be.  This doesn’t happen, and it certainly won’t in 2012.  You must price your home from an analytical standpoint.  What are the most recent sales of similar homes (size, beds, baths, upgrades) in your area recently?  Those are “comps”, or comparable sales.

Secondly, your home must be in good condition to be sold at fair market value.  This involves updating the home with modern conveniences like granite countertops, new paint inside and outside, vinyl windows, etc.  I could go on and on, here, but you get the point.  You’ve got to compete with remodeled homes that are selling in your area.  Also, staging it properly is important.  Not only do you need to keep your house in “very clean and tidy” condition, but it should look like a model home (furniture well-positioned and appropriately sized for each room.  No king-size bed in a small room!  (Yes, that means you.)

Thirdly, if you are going to list your home with an agent, then hire the best agent in your area.  If you don’t, you increase your risks of the sale not going through, the home not getting offers and not getting marketed properly (see reason #4).

Lastly, marketing is huge.  I can’t tell you how many times I see MLS listings with a few photos of the home (or only 1!).  People shop online, plain and simple, so take lots of photos (the max is usually 20 photos per listing on local MLS listing services).  Home buyers need to be shown what your home has to offer, so clean your house, stage the furniture properly and get it SOLD.

If you don’t want to worry about any of the above, then fill out my contact form.  I don’t list homes (I’m not an agent).  And instead of waiting 4-6 months to sell, we typically close escrow in 2-3 weeks.  I buy homes as-is; no repairs needed, no upgrades necessary, no waiting, no people walking through your home.
