We Buy Houses!

One of life’s biggest ironies is that there is more help available for those who don’t need it than those who do. The higher your credit score, the lower your interest rate. If you are doing well and have been able to keep your credit score high and your debt low, you will be rewarded with a lower car payment, for example, due to reduced interest even though you could afford to pay more. The person who might benefit from having a reliable new car for one of those $169-a-month car payments advertised on commercials often drives away with a used car and much higher payments. Of course, those who can qualify for the cars that are $169-a-month, seldom want those and opt for other upscale models they can afford as their interest rate is lower.

As there is no law that forces companies to grant credit, much less at a cheap price, the rest of us have to, first, use what it available for us, and then, plan for the future by improving our credit scores. As mentioned in a recent article, those who seek mortgage help by using a government or lender-sponsored program suffer a credit score blow. Those who file bankruptcy or lose their home to foreclosure are penalized for years. However, any of these things can make for a fresh start.

There are a couple of ways that people in trouble can initiate their own fresh start. Many times people cannot afford to be homeowners, even with mortgage reductions. This is why short sales and even deeds-in-lieu have become a popular way of divesting oneself of a home. If the lender agrees to go with either process, you, as a debtor, can put the mortgage behind you. Assuming that you live more frugally, you can work on paying off your other debt. The downside is that the lender can come after you for the difference.

Express Homebuyers offers a similar but often better option: we buy your home for cash.  Unlike short sales, which often take months to complete, you can have your deal wrapped up within a couple weeks. We even offer you $2,500 upfront so you can use to secure your new dwelling.

In general, it’s been a tough time for the real estate business. If you’ve been scrambling to find the right opportunity to sell your house, it’s probably been even tougher. What makes things even more challenging is that there are many sellers like you in your neighborhood. So if your house doesn’t stand out, how will you go past the ‘listing’ phase?

Here are some tips to help you ensure that you have a buyer knocking on your door:

• Condition of your home: When listing your house you need to evaluate the overall appearance of your property. Often, considering a renovation could draw more buyers to your home. And don’t forget about curb appeal! If the exterior is not pleasing enough, who’ll want to check the interior? This is probably even more critical if the other houses on your block are well updated.
• Presentation & marketing: De-clutter. Fix & clean your house well. You can get some great tips to fix your house for less than $250. Get professional help to showcase your place – take great pictures and a virtual tour if possible. Ensure that you have your ‘for sale’ details spelled out, conduct regular open houses and advertise within your local community through pamphlets/brochures and to outside buyers through the internet.
• Pricing for sale: Focus on your house’s selling points and drawbacks. Do your own research. Find the asking price in your neighborhood, and adjust your own based on the pros and cons. This will help you find that sweet spot which is neither way above the market, nor way below. If you are uncertain, take an appraiser’s opinion to evaluate your property’s worth.
• Hire a good agent: Your listing agent could help you make or break a good deal. While selecting an agent, you don’t only want to focus on how much money you could get, but also understand the agents marketing strategy towards selling your house. A lot of these hassles could be minimized if you worked with a full-service real estate agent.
