One of the toughest decisions is to sell a house before it’s at its best. Hoping to get the maximum price selling your house as-is can be a crap-shoot as DFW home buyers can vary wildly in opinions, offers and intent.
And here you are with this investment — of your money and your soul — and you’ve decided to not pour any more money or time into fixing it up. So what is it worth? Who wants to buy it? Am I going to get an honest home buyer or a pack of investor wolves looking for blood? According to Zillow, you have a few choices: selling your house as-is, completing just minor repairs, or focusing on only the big-ticket items most buyers are concerned about.
Retail buyers vs investors
Leaving it to the market to decide what number you’ll accept can be dicey. If you’re seeking a retail buyer i.e. someone who will be using a realtor to buy a house they can fix up and live in, usually means a lot of drama. Even if you’ve listed the house as-is/no major repairs with an agent’s help, buyers are trained to get whatever they can regardless of how hot the market is so you may have to negotiate what will be repaired or suffer lower offers, which hurt. In this scenario, it’s sometimes better to get an inspection done beforehand so you have a basis of disclosure.
Investors on the other hand can come in with promises of better offers that evaporate once negotiations start. They can also over-complicate the financing steps, adding in fees at closing that take what seems like a good offer and turns it into a hit to your expected profit. And, sadly, they often come in with low-ball offers while acting as if they’re doing you a favor. Ouch.
