It’s nearly impossible to sell a house with issues.
Buyers aren’t interested in a house with an outdated kitchen, older bathroom or rundown appliances.
If they are reliant on bank lending, a home inspection is necessary. The home inspection often turns up additional problems. The bank might demand a new roof installed, a new HVAC system or new electrical panel. Code violations and safety hazards can become a stumbling block. Between paying for renovations and repairs, realtor commissions and negotiations with the buyer, the asking price isn’t even close to the amount of money received. Plus, the conventional sale often takes months. There is the inconvenience of photos for the listing, open-houses and showings. There is excessive paperwork. When I decided to sell my house in Colorado Springs, I debated options. About ten years prior, I’d sold a house and had an awful experience. The stress of it led to insomnia, migraines and all sorts of health concerns. Once the deal finally went through, I just felt discouraged and unhappy. This time around, I searched for an alternative. I came across a cash home buyer in Colorado and was amazed by the simplicity. There was a form provided on their website. Filling out the form took me only a few minutes. I supplied some basic information and submitted it. I received a cash offer that same day. The offer was reasonable, especially since I didn’t need to deduct the cost of repairs, closing costs or realtor fees. They made an offer on the house in its current condition. I wasn’t required to make any improvements. The cash home buyer had the experience, knowledge and resources to handle every hurdle and step of the process. They used their expertise to expedite the closing. I was able to set the closing to the date of my preference. I handed over the keys, signed some papers and the cash home buyer deposited the full amount into my bank account.
