When you need to sell your home in a hurry due to divorce, job relocation, or financial hardship, it is difficult not to feel a bit desperate. Many of us have a sentimental attachment to our houses, particularly if we have lived in them for a long time, and they are often our largest assets. Consequently, at the same time that you have to cope with the emotional aspects of parting with your home, you also have to concern yourself with the financial implications of the sale. And, when you are under a time constraint, your life can feel like it is on hold until the deal goes through.
All of these factors may put pressure on you to accept less money than your house is worth, simply because you want to get the sale done and to move on. But before you give in to an inclination you may later regret, talk to us at the Legacy Group. We have some options that you should consider to get the best possible price for your Spokane home.
While anyone can sell a house quickly if they are willing to underprice their home, it is a much harder proposition to sell a house quickly at top dollar. Yet, this situation is not uncommon, and that is why our team at the Legacy Group has developed some methods for achieving exactly this goal for sellers in the Spokane real estate market.
Establish Your Asking Price
Choosing the correct listing price for your home is essential to a fast and profitable sale. List too low, and you’ll leave money on the table. But list too high, and you won’t have enough prospective buyers coming to your door. What is more, you may end up having your house on the market for too long while you adjust your asking price, defeating your goal of achieving a quick sale.
At Legacy Group, we will determine an appropriate valuation of your home based on what is happening in the market, taking into account all the other factors that determine housing prices, such as square footage, number of bedrooms and bathrooms, the age of the house, comparable home sales, lot size, location, and so on. Using all of these factors, combined with our years of experience in the industry, we will work with you to establish an asking price that is competitive, yet should still attract a ready buyer.
Sell a House Fast: Legacy Group Exclusives
Of course, almost any real estate agent can offer to do all of that for you. But at Legacy Group, we can do more. We offer additional and unique options for individuals working with a strict deadline for selling their homes.
Legacy Group’s Immediate Offer Option: We know that there may be circumstances in which you simply do not have the time for the normal market to work its way through to a house sale. In this situation, we may be able to put together a cash offer on your home that lets you choose a closing date that works with your schedule.
If you go with this option, we will give you an offer based on purchasing your house “as is”, and you will not have to pay an agent commission out of your proceeds. This option is most suitable when you have no time to wait for a buyer or to negotiate a price, and you do not want the stress of making necessary repairs or upgrades, or of making your home available and presentable for house-tours. When you need to sell your house immediately, this is probably the way to go.
Legacy Group’s Guaranteed Sale Option: If you have a little more flexibility, but still need to sell your house within a certain time frame, we can set up a contingency sale in which the Legacy Group will offer to purchase your house for cash outright if you do not get an acceptable offer that goes under contract by an agreed-upon time. This option guarantees the sale of your home at a mutually acceptable price by an agreed-upon date, and allows you to make definite plans for your future and to move on.
If you need a quick house sale, don’t settle for the simple solution of just undervaluing the price of your home. Instead, reach out to Legacy Group Real Estate today and find out whether one of our alternative strategies for achieving a quick sale can provide you with a more profitable result.
