Lots going on in real estate, and through the ups and downs it’s consistently been “let the seller beware” in DFW. Prices are crazy and those looking to cash out of rental houses, inherited property or as-is homes are finding out the promise of big money depends on who you’re selling to. Corporate investors care more about their shareholders than your happiness, and there are lots of “sharks” out there. So even though it’s a seller’s market, if you take the wrong offer you may end up paying out your profits in repairs, closing costs or hidden fees. So, in a twist on the old saying, at Welcome Home we say “Let the seller beware.”
In investor conversations, sellers trust your gut
the deal doesn’t feel right.
So much depends upon who you’re working with to get your home sold. If the caller is talking too fast, adding in complications and making BIG promises for how much you’ll make, think twice. In this market time is on your side, so don’t get pressured into an instant decision if you do not feel good about the process or promises. As we have mentioned on our Facebook page, most reputable investors will want to see your home to assess the value and talk honestly about necessary repairs and market values.
And, honestly, the longer and more complicated the contract being offered, the more likely you are to give up profits or time as repair estimates escalate or drag on and details in the fine print allow the investor to “park” your house for weeks if you back out of the transaction. Welcome Home uses a simple, one-page contract that spells out the details and guarantees a $5,000 earnest money payment once signed.
There’s no need for a “devil in the details”
There are SO many things that can get in the way of closing quickly IF, your agent hasn’t prepared or experienced items like probate, multiple owners, title issues or rental tenants gumming up the works. Experience, trust, honesty and an ability to move quickly while fixing every possible issue are all hallmarks of the Welcome Home sales process. David and Terry answer their own phones.
