Financial Reasons to Sell

Money matters are another common reason to sell your house and move. Incomes change over time. Similarly, the values of homes change over time. Both of these factors impact your situation and how much you want to deal with.

Cashing In Your Equity

More times than not after 5-10 years homeowners like to cash in their equity. Either through a home equity loan, line of credit, or cash out refinance homeowners can recieved funds needed to deal with whatever life throws at them. However, in more cases than not this requires more debt, losing equity through fees, and longer term loans. Selling your home maybe the best option to take full advantage of the equity in your home.


Time to Upgrade Your Home

When you outgrow your home, it’s not always literal. In a figurative sense, you might outgrow your home as your career flourishes. Alternatively, when you inherit a home, you might want to sell it for a place that’s bigger or holds more value looking forward.

Too many Repairs

Sometimes, that new roof or siding just seems too expensive. For some people, it’s easier to buy a new home that won’t need repairs for a while. When you factor in the fact that most residential buildings have a lifetime of about 15 years, it makes sense for some homeowners to sell before they drop money on expensive repairs.

Lifecycle Changes and Reasons to Sell

As we reach milestones in our lives, our needs and preferences start to shift. This comes in many forms, and that’s why we try to be so understanding when we work with our clients. We treat our neighbors with the dignity they deserve because we know they all have their reasons to sell.

Changing Relationships

When you move in with a partner or get married, it might require selling one or more properties. Similarly, a breakup or divorce is one of the most common reasons to sell your house. Whether one party buys out the other or you can’t afford a house on a single income, selling is an option.

FAQ

Real estate agents list properties and show them to prospective buyers (if there are any). If they’re able to make a sale, they take a percentage of the sale price as their commission. In many cases, a real estate agent’s commission is 3 to 6%. This means, if your house sells for $100,000, you have to pay between $3,000 to $6,000 in commissions. If you don’t have the time, patience, or ability or sell through a traditional agent, that’s where Square One Offer can help. We’re not agents – we’re home buyers. Since we’re buying the house directly from you for cash, we can buy your house fast. We make our living by taking the risk to buy the house with our own cash, fix it up, and market it ourselves to find a buyer.

The closing date is flexible most of the time. If we sign a contract and you need several months to prepare for your move we are willing to work with you. There is NO PRESSURE from us to close by any particular date and we will accommodate your needs to the best of our ability. Also, we may be able to lease the property back to you after closing for a short time.

 

Once we can set a date for closing you will know the exact date to schedule your move. Closing is when the final papers are signed, you receive your money, and when ownership transfers out of your hands. By this time, the house should be empty and vacant unless we make other arrangements based on your specific needs. We begin the process of repairs and maintenance on the property immediately after closing and anything left behind will be donated to charity or disposed of.

At Square One Offer, we are professional home buyers. we buy houses that meet our purchasing criteria. Once we have purchased a house, we spend the time and money to repair the house and resell it to another homeowner. Although we have licnesed agents that can help list your home our primary strategy is to give you a cash offer. Sometimes the home or situation the homeowner is in doesn’t constitute a quick closing where the homeowner can wait more time to get more money by listing the house on the open market.

 We are 100% transparent with our process! The houses we purchase are below market value so we can resell them at a profit after we make the necessary repairs and updates. In our experience, our clients aren’t looking for a large “windfall” on their property. They want to be able to sell their house fast, for a fair cash price, and with as little hassle and stress as possible. They are not looking to spend the time or money to fix up the property or pay agent fees and closing costs. If this sounds like you, give us a call today, and let’s see if we can come to a fair price that’s a win-win for both parties. Our no-obligation offer means that we won’t hassle you once we make you an offer. Whether you decide to move forward or wait, the process is up to you

No, not unless there is a major repair that is uncovered during the inspection that was otherwise unknown. Our buyers have years of industry experience and know what issues to look for.

Notice:

Please beware of other companies who offer to purchase your home without physically seeing it. These companies are likely to change their offer and/or pull out of the contract all together leaving you in a poor position. Similarly, read the language in the contract. Check for contingencies, verbiage that allows them to reduce the offer and or an option period.

This is why we visit every home in person when we make free cash offers on homes to give the highest and most fair offer.

While walking the property with you, our agents will ask about the condition of certain items while visually inspecting them. The more honest you can be with them the better. This will ensure that there are no ‘gotchas’ in the inspection period and that your offer stays the same.
