For those in difficult situations who need to sell quickly there is a great deal of stress associated with trying to sell a house, especially with the current real estate market as slow as it is. Let us show you a few common options, and why some are better than others.
Option 1: Sell your house “For Sale By Owner”
While selling a house “For Sale By Owner” and marketing it yourself may seem attractive, as you don’t need to pay realtor commissions, it is one of the most difficult ways to sell a house. First, knowing how to price your house so it will sell is something that requires a professional who is consistently buying or selling real estate. Price is one of the greatest determining factors of whether or not a house will sell. Second, if you need to get a certain amount, because of a mortgage or additional lien, then it is even more critical to have access to real estate professionals and their ability to market properties. Finally, selling a house “For Sale By Owner” puts an enormous burden on you and your family, and the process may take months, or even a year or more.
Option 2: List your house with a qualified realtor
Assuming you have six to twelve months to sell your house, listing your home with a realtor may be a viable option. When selling your house with a realtor there are a few steps that take place. These steps include, price reductions, in order to generate additional interest in your home. Fielding multiple low offers, and potential buyer walkthroughs, be aware this process can take a longer time than a realtor expects. Also, when selling through a realtor you will have to pay all realtor commissions. If you need to sell your home fast, this may not be the best option. If it is your best option we work with a team of highly qualified local realtors and can recommend them to you.
