Sell Your House to Fresno Property Investors Fast, As Is and for Cash

Owning a bad house is difficult. Selling it is even harder.

A "bad" house comes in many forms. It could be old or ugly. It could be in a bad neighborhood. It might need extensive repairs. It could have water damage or mold.

Trying to sell such a house can be done in two ways. The first involves resolving all the problems and letting a real estate agent try to sell it or doing it yourself. The second involves selling to a real estate investor, "AS IS."

The first could take months. The second takes just a few days.

If you want to avoid dealing with realtors, selling by owner is an option. You can do this in a couple of ways.

First, you can do all the work needed to sell the house yourself. Here's a list to give you a start:

• Resolve any issues with the property including making repairs and settling any legal issues.
• Improve the curb appeal and stage the home.
• Prepare all paperwork and negotiate with sellers.
• Decide on a market price for the house, depending on its location and condition.
• Market the house in as many ways possible, to maximize its exposure to potential buyers.
  
  

An alternative option is to sell directly to a real estate investor. We are the best real estate investor in Fresno. If you sell to us, you have to make no efforts to prepare the property to sell. You also don't need to put out money up front. All of the costs and fees are factored into the cash offer. And we normally close the deal within a few days.

Your home needs a lot of repairs, but you don't have the money or time to resolve them. You decide to sell your home "AS IS." This is what you need to do to make it happen:

• Get a home inspection to determine exactly what is wrong with the house.
• Have professionals provide estimates for the repairs needed.
• Resolve any legal problems the house might have such as a tax lien.
• Determine the selling price based on the repairs needed and legal issues outstanding.
• Market the house in multiple ways, both online and offline.
• Organize showings for potential buyers.
• Disclose all problems to buyers and be ready to negotiate.

Trying to get a real estate agent to sell a house in poor condition is almost impossible. The agent will need to put more work into selling a house that is going for a lower price due to its problems. That translates to a lower commission for doing a lot of work. So, instead of relying on an agent to do the work, it falls on the seller. Add in the fact that buyers don't like houses with serious issues, and selling "AS IS" can be a long-term challenge.

The better, faster option is to sell the house off market to a real estate investor. The investor will buy the house, "AS IS", and the seller walks away with the cash.

Every offer an investor makes is different from any other. That's because the price depends on a number of factors:

• The house's current condition
• The current market value of the property.
• The cost of repairing and renovating the property.
• The potential interest the property will have among potential buyers after renovation.

Some properties are in bad neighborhoods, need a lot of work, or have substantial damage. Those will get lower offers. Some properties are close to move-in ready, but the buyer needs to sell quickly. Those will get higher offers.

Type in "we buy ugly houses for cash in Fresno, TX" to a search engine, and you will get a list of potential real estate investors. Your challenge is going to be sorting out which ones are reputable and aren't trying to commit fraud.

Let's look at a few common real estate investor scams:

A foreigner comes forward to buy the house "sight unseen." The investor never visits and never has the house inspected. The investor also never signs a purchase agreement. The interaction is only to gather personal information on the seller and to use that info to commit fraud.

A potential investor makes an offer that seems too good to be true. Before signing the purchase agreement, however, the investor uses multiple manipulation tactics to try to get the seller to accept a lower price. It ends up being a big waste of time.

An investor comes forward and signs a purchase agreement. Then, the investor starts making visits to the property and pointing out things that the original agreement didn't mention. The seller agrees to make changes to the contract and signs a document authorizing the change. This happens multiple times. The last agreement has terrible terms that the seller doesn't notice.

Here are a few tips for speeding up the sale of your home:

• Make any needed repairs.
• Renovate any outdated parts of the house.
• Stage and decorate the house to make it attractive to potential buyers.
• Lower the price to bring in buyers with a lower buying point.
• Get a professional to take photos for advertising.
• Market the house online and offline to attract the most potential buyers.
  
  

If you don't have the money or time to do all of this, your best option is to sell to a real estate investor. You sell property quickly and don't need to go to any trouble.

Tax liens are something most buyers don't want to deal with. They will avoid them like the plague. Here are four ways to address the lien when trying to sell a property:

• Pay the lien, if you have the money, which you likely don't if the lien still there.
• See if the lien holder will take a partial payment or agree to a payment arrangement. All you can do is ask.
• Ask potential buyers if they are willing to take on the lien. This likely won't happen.
• Sell the property to a real estate investor. This is the easiest choice.

In the Fresno, TX, area, it can take three to six months, on average, to sell a home. However, that's no guarantee that your home will sell that fast. Some properties take a year or more to sell, depending on location, condition, and other variables.

If you want a quick sale, sell your home in 3 to 30 days to us. We take less than two weeks to close most sales, no matter the property's condition or location.

Some people need to sell a house quickly. Others own properties that have a lot of problems they don't want to deal with or can't afford to fix. A cash house buyer is ready to buy a house for cash, in any condition. After the sale, the investor puts money into fixing the house up, then puts it back on the market at retail cost. Ultimately, the investor makes a profit.

You moved out of the area and your home is standing empty. You need to sell it, but didn't realize that selling a vacant house isn't always that easy. Here are a few things to consider when selling an empty house:

• Get a point of contact who lives near the house. This could be a friend, neighbor, or family member. That person's responsible for watching over the house and keeping it ready for showings.
• Make sure buyers have access by leaving a key with the agent or your point of contact.
• Stage the house to make it look lived in. This will give buyers a sense of how the home is laid out. Plus, it helps protect it from squatters and thieves.
• Protect your belongings. The best option is to have any remaining items sent to where you are currently living. Otherwise, the belongings need to be in a secure area, where no one can grab them.
• Talk to the title company about a long-distance closing. This involves sending documents back and forth for signature and notarization.
  
  Another option you should consider is selling to a real estate investor. The investor can give you a quick cash sale with none of the hassle of a traditional sale.
