Why you should sell your house for cash

Posted by StevenHWicker on April 5th, 2019

The sale of any house can result in a lot of stress, anxiety, and overall headaches. You have to contend with advertisements, fees from both the selling agent and the buying agent, and the dreaded home inspection. Depending on the condition of your home it might cost more to get it up to par rather than to just sell your house as is.

Before you decide to sell your house you should ask yourself the following questions;

What condition is my home in?

Do I really want to have an inspector open up Pandora's box?

Do I have time to make the repairs?

Do I have the money needed to make the repairs?

How much more money can I get fixing this thing then just taking a cash offer for my house?

If you want to sell your house for top dollar your house needs to look top dollar. Having an attractive home is essential to attract potential home buyers when trying to get a top dollar sale. There are minor issues that potential buyers may over look such as wall color, condition of appliances, and floors. Those are the easy wins. The difficult win comes from structural defects that an inspector will find and may impact your ability to sell your home. We buy ugly houses Austin

We brought up opening Pandora's box earlier. At Cash For Homes S.A. We say this because a thorough inspection will dig up any defects your house may have. Let's take a look at a flooring situation one of our clients had not to long ago.

John wanted to sell his home. A friend of mine referred John to me because John thought that his home was in a condition that no one would want it in. John was ready to take a cash deal for his home. I came out took a look at the house and made my offer of ,000 (which was 15k higher than a previous cash buyer in San Antonio). Just to show you some numbers here is how I came up with my offer at the time.
