Yes, you really can sell your house fast without feeling like you are being taken advantage of. Here is the deal, my neighbor Jim just moved into the Atlanta, Duluth area only four months ago on a job transfer. His big challenge was selling his other house on the west coast. He was not able to buy another home until he had that one sold. It took him over 8 months to sell that house and during that time he was renting in a rather run down neighborhood in Atlanta. He did eventually get that old house sold and bought his next home right across the street from me. Jim and his family have been great neighbors now for almost four months, but then his company calls him with another opportunity with a big raise. What a great deal, but it requires Jim to have to plan another move just months after he bought his new 0,000 house in Duluth Georgia.

Can you imagine, relocating twice within four months, but even worse, having to move your family and belongings from two different cities into tow different cities in only four months? Ouch

Well, not really knowing the area, Jim asked me if I knew of a realtor in the area that would be able to sell his house fast without loosing his shirt. Turns out that Jim spoke with several Realtors and it wasn’t pretty at all. Including all the holding expenses, Realtor commissions and closing costs, etc, etc, would cost him thousands of dollars he did not have.

Jim had to make up his mind if he was going to take the job opportunity that had come up, he really wanted to but he wasn’t sure how he was going to sell his house in Dacula. That is when it happened. I did a Google search for “We Buy Houses in Atlanta Georgia” and found what Jim was looking for. A online “we buy houses” company that sounded fair and honest, but you never know, so I completed the online questionnaire on behalf of my new neighbor and used my telephone number. I didn’t know all the numbers on Jim’s Mortgage and such, but I explained to them what the situation was and asked if they knew of a solution for Jim and his new house.

We-Buy-Houses-Atlanta-Georgia.com called me back within 3 hours and did offer a solution. They would buy his house and get it off Jim’s credit so he could move on with his his life. Sound too good to be true? Well, it wasn’t. I called Jim to let him know what I found and he contacted them. They came over, looked at Jim’s house and his situation and guess what. Turns out these guys buy and sell houses all over the country and they had a beautiful house in the city he was moving and he closed on that one in less than a month.

How cool is that, honest, fair and genuinely good people. Don’t be afraid to use We-Buy-Houses-Atlanta-Georgia.com, after what I have seen I will use them myself when I ever decide to move. They really made it simple for Jim and I am glad I was able to help.

You do not need a realtor. You have other faster options.

Most people are unaware that there are more options to selling your Maryland property than you might be aware of.  Most people are only familiar with the option of calling a realtor and listing their house on the open market.  Some brave souls even attempt to sell by owner. Listing with a realtor can be time consuming and expensive.  It may take months to sell your property and the realtor fees can be costly.  Some people may need to simply sell their house fast for various reasons Selling by owner may save money, but can be even more time consuming and not very productive.

 
There is another option.  There are many companies out there that invest in real estate and are actively looking to buy your house.  You may have seen some of those signs that say ” We Buy Houses “.  Well that is exactly what they mean.  These are often groups of investors that are looking to purchase your house quickly.  Even if your property needs repairs, is damaged or if you are simply looking to sell fast for whatever reason.

No need to pay realtor commissions

Realtor fees and commissions can range between 5 to 7 percent of the sales price of your home.  This expense, combined with other closing costs and the expenses of getting your home into the proper condition to sell can quickly eat up any equity that you may have.  Why go through this unnecessary expense when you can go directly to a house buyer and cut out the middle man?  Many house buying companies can even cover closing costs.

You can sell in one week even if you are in danger of losing your house

Some people may be in danger of losing their house to foreclosure.  When this is the case, time is of the essence.  You may not have time to list your property and have it sell prior to the bank taking the property back.  Any equity that you have may be lost.  This is when it is beneficial to call a house buying company, such as Monocacy Home Buyers, LLC in Maryland or some other company in your area to get a no obligation offer on your property.  It is possible to close in as little as 7 days.  This may be necessary if your house is only days away from being auctioned off on the court house steps.  Companies such as Monocacy Home Buyers can also refer you to other services that include mortgage modification if you are not ready to sell your property but need help.

You can sell your house even if you owe more than it is worth

Some people may want to sell their property but are not sure what to do because they owe more on their property than it is worth.  There are still options.  One of those options is the short sale.  Most people may not understand what a short sale is or the process to get one completed.  A short sale is simply the process of asking the bank to forgive a portion of your mortgage to allow you to sell the property.  The process can be long and complicated.  Some home buying companies in combination with realtors who specialize in this process can help take the burden of this process off of the home seller.  In Maryland, the home buying company will agree to purchase your property and the realtor will facilitate the sale and deal with the paperwork and the bank.

Are you thinking of hiring a real estate agent to sell your Duluth home quickly?

Selling a house is usually a expensive and complicated process. That’s why real estate agents make such big commissions (often thousands and sometimes tens of thousands of dollars) on a single home sale. And most successful agents in Duluth, Georgia usually have 5, 20 or 20 houses listed at any given time knowing that these houses will probably sell within the next 3 to 6 months or longer. Since most of the good agents have so many listings, it’s rare that they will spend the time, money and personal attention needed to sell your house quickly. If you don’t have much equity in your home, your home selling options are even more limited. You may have to write a big check at closing in order to sell your Duluth house and cover any negative equity, closing costs, taxes, etc in addition to your agent’s large commission check.

Are you thinking of selling your house in Orlando on your own for sale by owner?

If so, you probably know that trying to sell your Orlando, FL house on your own can be a costly, verifiable nightmare, especially in today’s highly competitive buyer’s market and troubled economy. You probably know what it’s like to have to keep your home cleaned up, month after month, ready to show it at any given time to perfect strangers who probably aren’t qualified to buy your house anyway. In the meantime, you have to continue to make your mortgage payments, pay your taxes, insurance, maintenance, utilities, home owner dues and other costs while you wait and wait and wait to sell your Orlando house. If you do find a buyer who is interested in purchasing your home, don’t forget that it takes another 45 to 60 days on average for them to get financed. And what if their financing falls through? After all, many buyers in Orlando can no longer get financed, especially in today’s tough economic times and troubled mortgage marketplace. If this happens, you’ll have to start the whole process all over again which is not uncommon.

We Buy Houses in Fairfax Virginia

Everyone has heard the news on the current deteriorating state of the economy, the severe credit crisis and the declining housing market. Fox, CNN, MSNBC, other news, outlets and even the President remind us of our pain daily. The peoples fears and perception have not become reality. Home foreclosures are at an all time high even in my neighborhood in Fairfax Virginia with many more foreclosures likely to come. The unemployment rate in Virginia is growing daily and is the highest it has been in many years. Housing resale values are at all time lows with no end in sight. Even the banks are going bankrupt (124 as of November 2009) as are many Americans who no longer qualify for credit.

Because of the recent credit crisis, many people don’t qualify for a new loan to buy a house right now, despite the incredibly low housing prices. Many home sellers can’t sell their unwanted houses because they owe more than their house is worth because of the falling house prices. Many sellers can’t rent their houses out for enough to cover their mortgage payments, taxes and insurance resulting in severe negative cash flow that bleeds then dry month after month. To make matters worse, many tenants end up losing their jobs and some even trashing the house when they move out making it even more difficult and expensive to sell. If they list their house with a real estate agent, their house will likely sit on the market for a long, long time waiting to sell since the buyers seem to have magically disappeared. Even if the house does finally sell one day at a greatly reduced price to get it sold, the owner has to pay a 6% real estate commission plus the majority of the closing costs. This often results in the seller writing a big, fat check at the closing table to finally get their house sold.

So what are my options to sell my house in Fairfax Virginia fast in this depressed econmy and housing market when many folks can’t get a loan? By trail and error, I discovered the following 3 alternatives to try to sell my Fairfax VA home quickly!

1. I tried to sell my house in Fairfax “For Sale by Owner” aka “FSBO”.

At first, selling my house by myself sounded easy enough, but it soon became my worst nightmare. At first I didn’t know how to attract buyers that might be interested in purchasing a home in Fairfax Virginia also called Northern VA. The sale by owner sign in the yard wasn’t working. I ended up spending a fortune placing classifieds in the local paper which resulted in a few potential buyers. Those that did respond wanted to see my house at all different hours of the day or night. I was afraid to say no in fear of losing a potential buyer. I would have to keep my house clean and all picked up, only to have them not show up to see my house. Other times I had some pretty scary people show up with their 5 kids in tow, trampling through my home. I never did find my ideal buyer. Even if I did, I had no idea how to get them qualified, how to handle all the purchase and sale paperwork or how to get the house closed. I said “There has to be a better way to sell my Home!” and I was determined to find it.

2. I listed my house for sale with a local Fairfax Real Estate Agent.

When I listed my house with a local real estate agent, I thought they were all the same and they would be able to sell my house in Fairfax Virginia quickly. I called an agent from a local, seemingly reputable, real estate agency and made an appointment to have an agent come out and see me. The agent sounded like she really knew what she was talking about and got me really excited about the prospect of selling my home quickly. She said she would list my house in the MLS, on dozens of real estate sites throughout Virginia, advertise my house in the local paper and other print publications, do multiple open houses, put out signs, balloons, flyers in an information box and went on and on about how she could sell my home and still get top dollar. How could I refuse? I didn’t. I listed my house and waited. The agent put the house in the MLS put a sign in the yard along with a dozen flyers in the information box and disappeared never to be seen again. She not only refused to return my calls, but did no perceivable advertising, no open houses, no showings, no more flyers, no more nothing! Six months later I still had no buyers and apparently no agent. I ended up hiring 2 more agents with the same dismal results. Meanwhile my house in Fairfax Virginia had not only decreased in value because it would not sell for the list price, which had been reduced repeatedly, but also because of all the other listed houses and foreclosures on the market in my area of Fairfax. At this point, I was all out of ideas and praying for a solution. About that time, someone at my church told me about a company that helps people in Nothern Virgina with buying and selling houses.

3. I contacted a local, professional home buyer from Fairfax Virginia.

My friend from church told me that she had similar problems selling her Northern Virginia house, but that she had contacted a local professional home buyer who bought her house in under a week! What? Is this possible? Could I sell my Fairfax VA house in 7 days or less too? She said their are professional home buyers out there, also known as “real estate investors”, who buy and sell real estate for investment purposes. You’ve probably seen their “We buy Houses” advertisements around town but never gave them much thought. These are people who buy houses professionally and are always actively looking for more houses to buy. She gave me their WEBSITE information. I filled out their easy online information and they had free reports about the real estate market in Northern Virginia. A local Fairfax home buyer called me and said that if my house qualified and if I was flexible on price and terms, that they may be able to buy my house in the next 7 days or less. They said depending on my situation that they may be able to pay all cash, pay some cash now and some cash later or take over your mortgage payments giving me immediate debt relief. At this point I was definitely flexible and had nothing to lose by scheduling an appointment for them to come see my home and possibly enable me to sell my Fairfax Virginia house fast!

So I scheduled the appointment with the Fairfax home buyer and he came out inspected my home.  he made me several offers to buy my house as promised. I chose the offer that best suited my needs and we scheduled a closing the following week with a local real estate closing attorney. It was that fast and that simple to finally sell my house in Fairfax! I still can’t get over it. After waiting two years trying to sell my house on my own and through a licensed agent, I was able to sell my house in less than 7 days to a local professional home buying company!
