Got a long list of home repairs?
Selling your home can be stressful. Home repairs to get your property in tip top shape, commissions and holding times while your property sits on the market can be expensive.
Perhaps your finances are in disarray and your home needs major repairs to be market ready. In the end, getting the house ready for the retail market may be more trouble then it's worth.
Consider selling “as is”. We buy any house any condition with cash and we can close when is convenient for you.
Renovations
To get top dollar for your home, it’s going to need to be in top-notch shape to interest potential buyers. More often than not, homes that have not received adequate attention will sit on the market longer than those with curb appeal and while they may eventually sell, most buyers will expect significant concessions in the price if the house isn’t in peak condition.
Cosmetic issues, such as paint color, landscaping, appliances, and flooring materials are relatively inexpensive fixes. Structural defects can be more costly and inhibit interested buyers or turn off their lender. Frequently, these major repairs surface during the home inspection process, so it’s important to uncover and remedy these issues before soliciting buyers.
Unless you’re a highly skilled DIY’er, you may need help with home repairs. If you have to make significant repairs, it’s a good idea to hire a skilled contractor to ensure renovations are of the highest quality. The price tag may be steep, but these improvements will garner a higher sale price when listing your home on the market.
Contractor Issues
If you do choose a contractor to make home repairs, the home selling process can get drawn out far longer than panned. We’ve all heard stories of renovation nightmares where the process drags on and on and comes in significantly over budget. Be sure to take the time to vet your contractors, checking out their credentials and looking into reviews of people who have worked with them in the past.
If work is required to fix major structural defects, such as replacing a roof, septic system, or foundation, be prepared to come up with thousands of dollars’ out of pocket before you can put your home on the market.
Selling for Cash
If you want to sell your house fast, realtors can be an invaluable resource. The nature of their business exposes them to wide array of potential retail and investor contacts who may be interested in your property, at the right price. Keep in mind that presentation is key and repairs left unattended will likely result in significant concessions on price. Couple this with a healthy commission and even with a successful sale you may be less than impressed with your earnings.
If you’re looking for a simple and stress-free solution to selling your home with any number of repairs, consider selling to a cash buyer.
