Sell Your House Fast. Start Your Own Economic Stimulus Package.

We don’t know what your current personal financial situation is. Nor the condition of your house. Here’s something to think about.

Chances Are You’re Reading This For One of Three or Four Good Reasons.

First, you may have fallen on hard times. If anything, the current economy has taken any shame out of this position. There are few of us who aren’t affected to a greater or lesser degree. Second, your house may be in a condition in which you can’t sell it unless you spend lots of money fixing it up – money you don’t have. Third, you may have inherited a house through a family event like a death or retirement. Finally, your house might be close to foreclosure, and you simply don’t know what to do next.

Here’s a Simple, Winning Strategy – Sell Your House Now. Then, Buy Another You Can Afford!

It is really that simple. If your situation is such that you need to get out of your present personal economic crisis, then stop trying to make the huge profit on your house you think you deserve. In any one of the four situations described above, you probably can’t.

But you can profit.

Many real estate investment companies (like ours) are in a position to buy your house outright very quickly. As part of the purchase plan, you will be required to pay off all the debt and difficulty associated with the property. But when you do, you will be free and clear of the house and its troubles when the dust settles.

Now, here’s what to do with the cash you have left.

Simple. Buy a House You Can Afford!

Take the proceeds from your selling off of your personal asset – your house – and use it as a down payment for a house you can afford. Now.

Interest rates are low, houses are at their lowest prices in years, and you are now free and clear of all the financial mess that got you here in the first place. What’s to stop you from buying a new house, and a new start?

Look for the Best Value You Can Find.

For us at Express Homebuyers, this is the fun part.

Our business is buying your previous house, and selling you another, similar home that we have fully renovated. Lots of the folks whose houses we buy turn around and buy one’s we have already remodeled. With new gourmet kitchens, granite counter tops, ceramic floors, and completely reconditioned bathrooms and bedrooms, our houses represent one of the best values on the home marketplace today. We buy houses in Prince Georges County, Montgomery County, Washington DC and Virginia.

We close on them pretty quickly, too – usually in under 30 days.

So, one month from today, you could be walking into a newly remodeled home instead of worrying about the one you’re in. And as a personal economic stimulus package, we think that’s pretty neat.

So, need to sell your house fast? Sell it now and improve your overall financial position. We buy houses like yours every day.

Don’t Sell Your House To A Snake! Some Tips…

To Help You Make Sure You’re Dealing With a Reputable House Buying Firm!

After all, at some level, it’s a home you’re selling. Here are a few things to look for in a company that buys houses:

1. Does the Company Have an Office?
Has the buyer told you where their offices are located? You might want to set up an appointment to meet them at their office. Make sure that they have a permanent office where you can reach them anytime. Don’t be put off by multiple phone numbers – house buying companies and real estate firms typically use many 800 numbers to track where their calls are originating. But DO make sure the company is solvent and answers the phone!

2. Do They Have a Staff?

If they are a well-established company, they will have experienced staff who will be able to guide you through every detail of the selling process and gladly be available to answer all your questions. Watch out for delayed voice mail responses in the evening to calls you made during normal business hours.

3. How will They Finance the Purchase?
We can’t emphasize this one enough: Most “homebuyers” are looking to sign a contract and immediately “flip” the house for a relatively small profit. AND THEY DON’T PAY YOU UNTIL THE HOUSE IS RESOLD! A reliable company will have the cash or an available line of credit to buy your house. Remember, if it is sold on contingency, you will have to wait to get paid. This doesn’t stop foreclosure, back taxes, forfeiture or liens. Don’t be shy; demand proof that they have the cash. Even more, ask them for a deposit of $5,000. If they are serious about buying your house they will provide it gladly.

4. Is the Company Accredited by the Better Business Bureau?
If not, why not? Call the Better Business Bureau at (202) 393-8000 or look for the company information at the Better Business Bureau website. If they are, this logo should appear on their website:

Click on it, and it will take you to their report. Checking with the Better Business Bureau will enable you to know if the company is reliable and give you some concrete history of their business.


5. Finally, Read the Contract Carefully?
Although we shouldn’t have to tell you this, let’s face it…we’re all in a hurry! Take your time. Selling your property is one of the most important decisions in your life. Don’t let the buyer pressure you. If you need more time to go over the contract demand it. Look for weasel clauses that are the big “outs” that nobody sees. These “outs” allow those snakes to slither out of your contract up until the last moment.

Obviously, We Meet these Criteria.
We are in this business to make money, true. But we also strive constantly to provide a safe haven for people who need to sell their houses fast. We know our customers want to deal with trustworthy, reputable people. That’s how we’ve managed to stay in business reputably since 2003. Need to sell your house fast?
