However, several things stood in his way.

• The appraisal was over inflated.
• For the same price, one could find a better neighborhood.
• The appraisal compared houses with AC to this one which didn’t have AC.

The only way to sell this house fast is to cut the price to level that would get a sale.  Even at that price, there are still better neighborhoods in the school district.

Source: Homeowners Delusional On Values – More Dangerous Than Banking Crisis? 

Rob Blake reports on a Zillow survey showing in fast relief just how out of touch the average home owner is when it comes to evaluating their own home’s value.  He takes a spin wondering if that will lead to a real estate freeze, not because of lending requirements, but because no one wants to pay an inflated price.

Zillow’s survey says that half of home owners think their homes are worth the same as they were a year ago. 32 percent believe their home went up in value and 17 percent feel their home decreased in value.

Compare this to the reality that about 75% of all homes lost value since last year…we see just how delusional home owners really are

Now just imagine.  How can you unload your house in this current real estate market?  Perhaps you need to avoid foreclosure, perhaps you need to dispose of an inherited property. Maybe it is an ugly house.

Wrong ways to sell your house fast.

You might think that a Realtor is the best way to go.

However, given the condition of the current real estate market, that is likely to be one of the slowest ways to sell your house.  Why?

• Advance prep time necessary to make the house beautiful.
• Open houses that kick you out of the house for a couple of hours.
• Ongoing Lawn Maintenance and cleaning.
• Putting all your stuff away to depersonalize your house.
• Many average time on market is over 100 Days (that is over 3 months).
• Once it’s under contract, typically another 2 months to close, if it does.
• Continued mortgage payments and utility payments for all those months.

Perhaps you think that For Sale By Owner is the best way to sell your house fast.

Consider this:

• Marketing expertise to position your house to generate traffic.
• Qualifying buyers.
• Wasting time showing the house to unqualified buyers.
• Negotiating.
• Expenses of marketing.  Newspaper ads runs hundreds of dollars in major papers.

We Buy Houses in Richmond VA

Are you looking to dump your house quickly? 

Perhaps an inherited house that is no longer needed and has been picked over by the relatives?

Perhaps a divorce is forcing you to sell.

Perhaps you are behind on payments and want to avoid foreclosure.

Just last week, I was called on a house that has been empty for 10 years.  A hurricane several years prior had knocked over a tree which then ripped up the sewer line to the street. 

No one could use the rest room in the house anymore.  It has been that way for years.

We made an all cash offer on the house, and though that cash was a hard money loan, it was still cash, and could close in two weeks. 

These sellers wanted to sell their house fast and we made them a quick home offer.  This house was sold and closed in a matter of days.

Sometimes, your house may have too many repairs, structural issues, or simply outdated. 

No matter what the reason is, we buy houses fast in Richmond Virginia and the surrounding areas.

How do we do it?  See our 5 Easy Steps to sell your house fast.

Do you want cash for your house?  Do you need to sell quickly?  If you want top retail and can wait, we are not the right buyers for you.   However if you need a quick sale and don’t care at what price, we can likely work out the sale of your home.

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.

• Fisbo — sell it for sale by owner.
• Discounter who only lists in the MLS but you do the marketing
• With an agent —

Do you want to sell your house FAST?

With your these options, here is what to expect

• Make all the expensive repairs to make the house show well (new carpet, fresh paint, fix all the broken faucets, etc).
• 6 more mortgage payments.  Days on market is upwards now of 6 months in many places in Virginia.
• Expenses to advertise your home for sale, unless you use a full service agent.  Example: A Sunday ad in the Richmond Times Dispatch for 4 lines runs $70.  I have paid upwards of $300 for one ad on a weekend. 
• Seller assistance $5K.  Sellers are now expected to contribute closing costs.
• 3% closing fees (transfer taxes, lawyer fees).
• 6% commission if you use a realtor.
• More repair expenses after the inspection.

I have anecdotal evidence from some sellers that have paid upwards of $40,000 transaction costs to sell their house after making all the repairs, paying an agent, and assisting with closing.

That’s not FAST, and that’s very Expensive.

How to sell your House Fast.

The easiest way to sell your home quickly is to unload it with an investor.    We’ll buy it as is, where is, and in most cases, we’ll pay most if not all the closing costs.  The key to selling to an investor is the right price.  You determine what price you need and we’ll see if we can unload the house for you.

With an investor, you can get a fixed date for closing, typically in under 30 days (no more mortgage payments).  We buy as is, meaning no repairs, and best of all, you don’t have to pay for a realtor.

If you are in central Virginia and want an offer on your home, simply fill out this form and we’ll get you an offer in 24 hours.
