Databases like Zillow show what other homes in your area are selling for. Keep in mind that many of these homes are fully functional and updated. Homes that are fully functional, fully updated, and clean can be sold for more. Homes sell for less if things are broken, missing, or old. In order to determine how much I think you can get selling your house, I look at the price other homes are selling for. Then, I estimate how much it would cost for professional contractors to do the rehab on your house. I subtract that from the comparison price. I use that information to determine the price that your home will sell for as-is. As a real estate agent I also have access to the MLS where which all of the properties sell on the retail market.

The initial phone call when you first speak will only take about 5-10 mins on the phone. The visit where you show me your house and I take pictures takes about 10-15 minutes sometimes longer. To make sure there is a free and clear title on the house, that is free and clear of any judgements, liens, assessments or anything like that typically takes anywhere from 2-3 weeks depending on how busy the title company is.

From start to finish the entire process typically takes 2-3 weeks from the time of our first phone call or email to closing to pick up your check at the title company.

The nice thing about selling your house fast for cash, is that you don’t need to make repairs. Your house is bought as is. Don’t worry, I have most likely seen it all. When you initially tell me about your house, I will ask you questions about the condition of your house. This is to see how much money will be needed to repair and update your home after you sell it. For example, are the roof, furnace, and water heater still intact? If so, when were they last replaced? Are plumbing and electricity working? Is the foundation solid? Etc. Another important thing is how your home compares to other homes nearby. For example, how many bedrooms and bathrooms are in your home? Do any of the rooms need repairs or updates, for example, does your kitchen need new cabinets?

Typically two to three weeks, depending on the the title work on your home. If it already has a free and clear title, the home will be able to close quicker.

In order to sell your house, you must have a free and clear title to the house. Don’t panic! Some of my customers don’t have free and clear titles to their houses and most of the time you will know if you don’t. However, many houses have titles with judgments, liens, etc., attached. This could be due to back taxes on the house that were left unpaid, or judgments on the owner for unpaid child support or other unpaid public business deals. Perhaps the city has declared your house a dangerous building or boarded it up. There is often a fee for that which is tied to your title. You can designate some of the money you get from selling your house to pay these fees and fines at closing, freeing the property title so the deal can close. A lot of people like this process, because it enables them to sell their home without having to come up with the money ahead of time to pay these fees.

As always in life, you are responsible for determining your income and reporting it to the IRS and any other applicable entities.
