<strong>31</strong> Ridiculously Simple <strong>Ways</strong> <strong>To</strong> <strong>Sell</strong><br />

<strong>Your</strong> <strong>Property</strong> <strong>Fast</strong> <strong>in</strong> <strong>SouthEast</strong> TX


Research 101<br />

First th<strong>in</strong>g's first - you will have to do your research to see what is<br />

comparable <strong>in</strong> your area. Take a drive around your neighborhood and notice<br />

if there are any other homes for sale <strong>in</strong> the near vic<strong>in</strong>ity. <br />

Go onl<strong>in</strong>e and do some research on well-known home pric<strong>in</strong>g websites.<br />

Once you know your competition and have a sense for the general price<br />

ranges, you can feel more confident about be<strong>in</strong>g able to price your home at<br />

someth<strong>in</strong>g reasonable.


Contact Investor<br />

If you are motivated to sell your house right away, you should consider<br />

contact<strong>in</strong>g a profession home buy<strong>in</strong>g <strong>in</strong>vestor to purchase your home. A<br />

professional home buyer <strong>in</strong>vests <strong>in</strong> real estate property. <br />

An <strong>in</strong>vestor buys homes, fixes them up, and then resells them for a profit, so<br />

they are always look<strong>in</strong>g for new homes to buy. They buy homes <strong>in</strong> any<br />

shape. They buy fixer uppers and distressed properties as <strong>in</strong>vestments to fix<br />

up and resale later. <br />

This creates a w<strong>in</strong>-w<strong>in</strong> situation between you and the home buy<strong>in</strong>g <strong>in</strong>vestor.<br />

You are able to sell your home much faster than you might <strong>in</strong> the current<br />

market, and get paid right away.


Flexible <strong>in</strong> the Negotiations<br />

For a quick sale, it pays to be flexible <strong>in</strong> the negotiations. It is sometimes<br />

required that you reduce the orig<strong>in</strong>al price. So plan how much you are ready to<br />

negotiate. <br />

If you do not stick to your planned price reduction, chances are you might end<br />

up sell<strong>in</strong>g at a much lower price than the current market value. List the benefits<br />

of the house and location. And make sure the house is neat, well-lighted and<br />

presentable, <strong>in</strong>side and out. <br />

Inspect the house yourself or have it exam<strong>in</strong>ed by a professional, and make<br />

the necessary changes to help it sell faster. If required, replace any leak<strong>in</strong>g and<br />

broken fixtures. Try to be available all the time so that you do not miss any<br />

prospective buyers.


Negative Equity Into a Positive<br />

Turn the negative equity <strong>in</strong>to a positive one. The goal is to be able to<br />

eventually move out of the house if you need to downsize or urgently need<br />

to use funds to f<strong>in</strong>ance someth<strong>in</strong>g like a grandchild's college education or<br />

get on with your life plans like start a bus<strong>in</strong>ess, or have at hand emergency<br />

funds for a medical illness. <br />

With an annual salary bonus, you can make a lump sum mortgage payment<br />

and live the comfortable yet modest life you've always envisioned or you can<br />

ref<strong>in</strong>ance. Exam<strong>in</strong>e offers of various lenders, pay<strong>in</strong>g close attention to<br />

<strong>in</strong>terest rates and clos<strong>in</strong>g costs.


Price for the Buyer<br />

Price your home with the buyer <strong>in</strong> m<strong>in</strong>d. When a potential buyer is look<strong>in</strong>g to<br />

purchase their new home <strong>in</strong> a specific area, they will often come across the<br />

same types of property all priced exactly the same! <br />

If you look to price your home the same as everyone else, you will struggle<br />

to get noticed. Lower your sell<strong>in</strong>g figure slightly compared to your<br />

"competitors", no more than 10%. However, this should get you noticed<br />

before the others.


Poor Condition Solution<br />

You will never sell your property if it is <strong>in</strong> poor condition, no matter how low<br />

your ask<strong>in</strong>g price is. If there are basic home improvements that are required,<br />

get them done. <br />

If you are not <strong>in</strong> a f<strong>in</strong>ancial position to pay for repairs and new items, then<br />

you should look for a short-term loan to cover your expenses. A loan is<br />

recommended above putt<strong>in</strong>g these items on your credit card. You will f<strong>in</strong>d<br />

that credit card <strong>in</strong>terest rates are just far too high at this moment <strong>in</strong> time!


Clean Front of House<br />

The front of the house is just as important as the <strong>in</strong>side. Imag<strong>in</strong>e if a buyer<br />

has seen your list<strong>in</strong>g and th<strong>in</strong>ks this is just the property they are look<strong>in</strong>g for. <br />

They arrive at your house to be greeted by an overgrown front lawn,<br />

children's toys strewn across the front yard and the famous rust bucket<br />

secretly masquerad<strong>in</strong>g as a "classic car" on the drive. <br />

This doesn't add to the appeal of your home and is more likely to frighten<br />

your buyer away!


Set a Deadl<strong>in</strong>e<br />

Also have a deadl<strong>in</strong>e <strong>in</strong> m<strong>in</strong>d. You should look to schedule an "open house"<br />

or have your property listed as soon as you can. <br />

This will stop you wast<strong>in</strong>g time and you have a specific goal <strong>in</strong> m<strong>in</strong>d. You<br />

then know you have a certa<strong>in</strong> amount of days to get your home ready.


Broker’s Open House<br />

Another tip on how to sell your house fast was to hold a "broker's open<br />

house" on the day your property goes on the multiple list<strong>in</strong>g service. <br />

This will ensure that you get a lot off real estate agents <strong>in</strong> the local area<br />

visit<strong>in</strong>g your home. A great market<strong>in</strong>g tool!


Interview Brokers<br />

Reach out to friends and family members to see if anyone has<br />

recommendations for an ideal real estate agent. A good real estate agent will<br />

know how to sell your house fast. <br />

Word of mouth is a great way to f<strong>in</strong>d<strong>in</strong>g someone who is trustworthy and<br />

knows what he or she is do<strong>in</strong>g. Interview at least three brokers, pay<strong>in</strong>g<br />

particular attention to their track records and how professional they are. <br />

It may be wise also to have them each price your home to get an idea of<br />

what the go<strong>in</strong>g market rate may be.


Price is Right<br />

Once you know how much houses <strong>in</strong> your areas are go<strong>in</strong>g for, make a bid to<br />

price your home about 10 percent lower than the go<strong>in</strong>g rate. <br />

In a market that has many first-time home buyers and people who are tired<br />

of see<strong>in</strong>g unatta<strong>in</strong>able <strong>in</strong>ventory, this will give them <strong>in</strong>centive to start bidd<strong>in</strong>g<br />

higher on your property. <br />

You may be able to see multiple bids this way. Remember, you are try<strong>in</strong>g to<br />

create a barga<strong>in</strong> value for someth<strong>in</strong>g attractive and desirable.


Update Appliances<br />

Update any appliances that need to be changed out and opt for the most<br />

energy-sav<strong>in</strong>g equipment. <br />

Details such as energy efficient light bulbs and low flow toilets will go a long<br />

way to creat<strong>in</strong>g an ideal environment. <br />

You may also want to opt for pa<strong>in</strong>t<strong>in</strong>g the <strong>in</strong>side of your home <strong>in</strong> some light,<br />

neutral colors to make the space very <strong>in</strong>vit<strong>in</strong>g and calm<strong>in</strong>g. This will also<br />

give it appeal overall to a buyer.


Great Quality Pictures<br />

Advertis<strong>in</strong>g your home <strong>in</strong> the best light possible is very important. If you<br />

don't have photographic experience, get the help of someone who does. <br />

Be sure to make several photos <strong>in</strong> sunny light, captur<strong>in</strong>g the key features of<br />

the home. The more pictures, the better. This way, once your house is onl<strong>in</strong>e,<br />

you will be able to advertise its details and quality more fully. <br />

You may also want to th<strong>in</strong>k about do<strong>in</strong>g a complete photo tour of the home.


Pay Clos<strong>in</strong>g Cots<br />

If you are still perplexed on how to sell your house fast, consider giv<strong>in</strong>g your<br />

buyer an even greater offer. <br />

You can th<strong>in</strong>k about offer<strong>in</strong>g to pay some or all of the clos<strong>in</strong>g costs. This will<br />

also ensure that the clos<strong>in</strong>g goes as smoothly as possible and will help to<br />

<strong>in</strong>still trust <strong>in</strong> your buyers. <br />

They know that you are serious about the deal.


Yard Sign “Duh”<br />

Another option is to sell yourself, or For Sale By Owner, us<strong>in</strong>g yard signs.<br />

This method of sell<strong>in</strong>g will work if you put <strong>in</strong> a lot of work. <br />

You will need to put a "For Sale By Owner" sign <strong>in</strong> your front yard. It is very<br />

important to also put direction signs (signs with a large arrow on them) at the<br />

cross streets near your house and at the entrances of your neighborhood. <br />

This will allow you attract more potential buyers. Just as with Realtors, you<br />

will have to hope a qualified buyer comes along quickly.


Place Newspaper Ad<br />

You can also place an ad <strong>in</strong> your local newspaper classifieds. This does not<br />

just mean your ma<strong>in</strong> local paper, but also the local free papers like the Thrify<br />

Nickel or Greensheet. <br />

You will have to do all of the show<strong>in</strong>gs and qualify<strong>in</strong>g and wait for the right<br />

buyer. <strong>To</strong> sell your house fast, consider us<strong>in</strong>g all of your local newspapers.


Place Onl<strong>in</strong>e Ads<br />

This is a relatively new way to sell your house. You can post free ads on sites<br />

like Craigslist.org or Backpage.com. <br />

There are a lot of buyers look<strong>in</strong>g for houses onl<strong>in</strong>e these days. This will help<br />

your chances of f<strong>in</strong>d<strong>in</strong>g a qualified buyer quickly.


Create a Website<br />

Putt<strong>in</strong>g your property onto a website for the work to f<strong>in</strong>d is just amaz<strong>in</strong>g.<br />

People who start to th<strong>in</strong>k outside the box even <strong>in</strong> todays market will be the<br />

ones who will sell their property the fastest. <br />

sometimes you have to do a bit more digg<strong>in</strong>g to f<strong>in</strong>d one. <br />

Google is a great resource for look<strong>in</strong>g up just about anyth<strong>in</strong>g, this be<strong>in</strong>g no<br />

exception.


Open House Strategy<br />

Try visit<strong>in</strong>g local open houses and start compar<strong>in</strong>g the properties to your<br />

own <strong>in</strong> size and structure. You won’t believe the amount of people who are<br />

visit<strong>in</strong>g open houses. Now this can be a little tricky because their there to<br />

see that property, but you have one for sale also.<br />

Trick is to get someone very close to you to visit these open houses, and<br />

jump start conversations. From here they should tell about another great<br />

property located <strong>in</strong> the neighborhood. How powerful is that?


Title Company Help<br />

One of the goals of a title colony is to move title over to one place to<br />

another. This can be to a traditional buyer to an <strong>in</strong>vestor. What happens is<br />

that the title company build up many relationships, so they become a great<br />

place for buyer referrals.


Clos<strong>in</strong>g Attorney<br />

Just like the title company you can f<strong>in</strong>d buyers through clos<strong>in</strong>g attorneys.<br />

These guys deal with all types of people <strong>in</strong> the real estate <strong>in</strong>dustry. The key<br />

is to build that relationship by mak<strong>in</strong>g the call and just pretty much to ask.


Contact <strong>Sell</strong>ers<br />

Sometimes you must th<strong>in</strong>k outside the box when it comes to gett<strong>in</strong>g leads.<br />

Another great tip on sell<strong>in</strong>g your property fast is by do<strong>in</strong>g a little research on<br />

which properties have sold <strong>in</strong> the last month.<br />

If you can contact those sellers, and see if they have a list of potential<br />

buyers, then it's worth the hassle. Some people keep the potential leads<br />

contact <strong>in</strong>formation, and possibly they might be able to pass them on to<br />

you.


Build<strong>in</strong>g Inspectors<br />

Believe it or not build<strong>in</strong>g <strong>in</strong>spectors deal with tons of on buyers. These<br />

people have to <strong>in</strong>spect tons of properties each year, and they have many<br />

relationships. A simple phone call can get your property sold <strong>in</strong> no time.


Appraisers Are Friends<br />

Th<strong>in</strong>k<strong>in</strong>g outside of the traditional way of sell<strong>in</strong>g property will ga<strong>in</strong> you<br />

traction on the rest of the local market. Talk<strong>in</strong>g to appraisers <strong>in</strong> your market<br />

can br<strong>in</strong>g many, and mean many buyers due to o their relationships as well.


Craigslist<br />

Just go to your local market <strong>in</strong> craigslist to f<strong>in</strong>d tons of people who are<br />

look<strong>in</strong>g to buy properties. These will be <strong>in</strong>vestors, bird dogs and general<br />

people who are just look<strong>in</strong>g for homes to buy.


Lease Option<br />

of contract used <strong>in</strong> both residential and commercial real estate. In a leaseoption,<br />

a property owner and tenant agree that, at the end of a specified<br />

rental period for a given property, the renter has the option of purchas<strong>in</strong>g the<br />

property


<strong>Sell</strong><strong>in</strong>g "Subject <strong>To</strong>"<br />

Buy<strong>in</strong>g Real Estate "Subject <strong>To</strong>" By Kathleen Couch. "Subject <strong>To</strong>" is when<br />

you purchase property subject to exist<strong>in</strong>g f<strong>in</strong>anc<strong>in</strong>g already <strong>in</strong> place, along<br />

with any other liens or encumbrances already attached. You do not formally<br />

assume the loan through the bank.


Visit Auctions<br />

Visit some real estate auctions (tax sales, foreclosure auctions, etc.). These<br />

places tend to be saturated with cash buyers. Tell them about your<br />

properties for sale. You could have buyers l<strong>in</strong><strong>in</strong>g up to buy your property if<br />

you're offer<strong>in</strong>g a good deal.
