Sell an Inherited House Fast

June 25, 2008 · Filed Under Estate, Inherited House · Comment 

A few weeks ago, I was contacted by an estate attorney.  The seller had died and the heirs were wanting cash for their house now.

The estate attorney was a little overwhelmed with responsibilities and didn’t have the time to list the property with a realtor.  She instead gave me a call.

The house is in need of repair.  It is a fixer upper.  It’s outdated and will need to be cleaned up.  The heirs didn’t want anything in the house, they didn’t want to even lift a screw driver.

We agreed to a price and in 24 hours I found a buyer for the estate from my list of investors. That investor paid cash for the property and will close.

It was that easy.

Do you have a house that you’ve inherited and don’t want to deal with?  We have over 5000 buyers ready to purchase your house for the right price.  Simply give us a call at 804/915-9475 and let’s talk.

Virginia real estate investment company helps educate home sellers about their fast sale options in today’s real estate market

The Internet continues to be a place where sellers want to sell their Virginia home quickly. 

Zillow and Trulia may give a lot of information to people, but they don’t offer a “Get offers from us in 24 hours” service. 

We are able to provide an immediate response to your request for information, whether it is by phone, or filling out a web form on our Sell Your House Fast page.

We speak with dozens of people every week who want to sell their house fast.  However, it is still a challenge for homeowners to understand how to make a quick transaction in this current real estate market. 

The solution is to either list your property at a price below the competition, or sell it to a real estate investor well below retail.

Real estate investors can’t afford to buy houses at retail prices, so we explain exactly what we look for in a deal.   The lower the price or the more favorable the terms on owner financing, the faster we can buy your house.

Do you want to know how this works?  Here are 5 Easy Steps to possibly sell your house to us.

Get Foreclosure Help in Virginia

June 12, 2008 · Filed Under Behind on Payments, Foreclosure, Keep Your House · Comment 

I spoke with one seller today who was hoping he could refinance to avoid foreclosure.  In today’s current lending environment, that is next to near impossible, particularly with down payment requirements.  In his case, still being in bankruptcy didn’t help matters either.

The Foreclosure process in the state of Virginia is brutally quick, and the late charges, back interest, and attorney fees will not stop.  With loss mitigation specialists failing to get things done in a timely fashion, short sales are becoming difficult. 

Every day you delay action will cost you hundreds, if not thousands of dollars. 

I can’t stress enough: Act now! 

Here are some options that we might be able to provide for you.

Check out this house.  Ever seen a house with 3 walls?  Particularly a two story house?  Guess one didn’t need a key.

It is an example of an ugly house in central Virginia that we can buy.

We offered to buy this ugly home for cash.  Difficulties locating heirs after two years required that we give up.

Have an abandoned or ugly house like this?

This one pictured above had its undersides rotted out, and several trees growing through the living room.  Of course, the roof had rotted away as well.

We did buy this home for cash in less than two weeks and took a bulldozer too it.  A 200K house was built in its place, revitalizing the neighborhood.

We buy ugly.

Can Ed McMahon avoid Foreclosure

June 5, 2008 · Filed Under Foreclosure · Comment 

The wall Street Journal has reported that a unit of Countrywide Financial Corp. filed a notice of default on February 28, 2008 and McMahon is reported to owe $644,000 on a $4.8 million loan.


Fast Facts

  1. 7,013 square feet
  2. Six bedrooms
  3. House has been on the market for about two years
  4. Property address: 12000 Crest Court, Summit neighborhood in Beverly Hills, California
  5. First listed for sale in March of 2007 for $7.7 million
  6. Reduced shortly after to $6,999,000 then $6,750,000
  7. May 2008 listing: $6,250,000
  8. Bought house in 1990 for $2.6 million.

The path to foreclosure

It is thought that illness has caused the proceedings.  In 2005, Ed McMahon broke his neck in a fall and he has been unable to work. 

Illness is one significant cause of falling behind in one’s mortgage payment.  With the economy getting very tight, people margins for error leaves them only one illness away from losing their home to foreclosure.  As a professional home buyer who can make an offer within 24 hours, I see many people contacting me to avoid foreclosure because of an illness.

How can you avoid foreclosure?

We are not a foreclosure rescue company.  Rather, we are professional homebuyers.  Many people decide to sell their house quickly to an investor, at a discounted price before the foreclosure is finalized.  That is what we can offer you. 

We cannot stop foreclosure, nor save you from foreclosure as in a rental lease back (soon to be illegal in Virginia). 

All we can do is buy your home to help you avoid foreclosure.

See our Avoid Foreclosure section, or Get our offer within 24 hours.

Foreclosures Costs

June 2, 2008 · Filed Under Short Sale · Comment 

Mortgage News Daily issued a report that takes A Look at Foreclosures Costs.

The staggering fact is this:

The cost of a foreclosure, it turns out, is pretty staggering and we wonder why lenders and the investors they represent aren’t jumping at a solution, any solution, that would allow them to avoid going to foreclosure whenever possible.

According the Joint Economic Committee of Congress, the average foreclosure costs $77,935 while preventing a foreclosure runs $3,300.

This suggests that lenders would be more open to prevention, or even a short sale.  However, the last few short sales that I’ve work, the lender’s bureaucracy eventually caused the short sale to fail.

We were looking at a house with ARV of 350.  The problem we had was the lenders BPO contact failed to return phone calls to schedule access to the property.  We were working this short sale for 7 months . . . .

It wasn’t for lack of trying.  The house was foreclosed on, and it was listed in the MLS for 149.
