Problem With Selling Your Dallas Home Fast? We’ll Buy It Now, for Cash, In Any Condition!

The following tips can help you speed up the sale of your house when other houses aren't selling:

• Make the house look good by fixing any problems, such as plumbing leaks, cracked walls, leaking roof, and the like.
• Give the house extra appeal by staging the inside and making improvements outside.
• Drop your price lower than the price of similar homes on the market.
• Make your marketing stand out with professional photos and well-written advertising.
• Advertise intensely, both online and offline.

But these tips won't guarantee a speedy sale.

If you want a guaranteed result, call a real estate investor. We buy houses in slow markets as well as hot markets. You sell property quickly to us without doing anything other than accepting our offer.

In Texas, the average house takes three to six months to sell. But a statewide average doesn't apply to a specific neighborhood or a particular home.

If you have a house to sell and you don't have an indefinite amount of time to sell it, call us. We don't work with averages. We buy your house in 3 to 30 days, regardless of condition or location.

Most of our transactions are completed in less than two weeks.

If you want to sell your house without paying a real estate agent, you have two options:

• Sell it yourself through a FSBO (For Sale by Owner) sale.
• Sell it to a real estate investor.

A FSBO sale is the hardest option. But you have the potential to sell the home for a higher price. Just be prepared for the responsibility and expense necessary for a successful sale. You must:

• Fix all the problems with the house. Repair any physical damage, such as mold, rot, drainage, and the like. Settle any outstanding liens against the home (other than mortgages that are paid off at closing).
• Set an asking price that will motivate buyers without underpricing the house. Consider hiring an experienced realtor to help. The wrong asking price will either keep your home from selling or cause you to undersell it.
• Market the house. Make it look good, inside and out. Advertise it intensely, with online and offline ads. Show it through open houses and individual showings. Be prepared to negotiate with potential buyers.

Selling to a real estate investor is the easiest option. And Dallas Cash Home Buyers is the most experienced and reputable cash house buyer in Dallas. When we buy your house, you have no upfront costs and no closing costs. The sale is completed within a few days.

Each property has a unique value to an investor. Its future use determines its future value:

• Will a nearby business purchase the property to expand their parking lot?
• Will the house be torn down and the lot sold as a building lot?
• Will the house have minimal repairs and be sold as a rental?
• Will the home be fixed up and sold to a retail buyer?

Once the value is estimated, the investor knows how much to deduct for making repairs, settling debts, etc. Added to that deduction are the investor's overhead and profit. The investor bases their cash offer on these calculations.

Don't be fooled by fraudulent real estate investors. They are mixed in with reputable investors like us. To find the right investor, start by making a list of those you want to contact. Type "we buy ugly houses for cash in Dallas, Texas" in your favorite search engine and choose a few.

When interviewing investors, look for these signs of fraud:

1. They pull a "bait and switch" with their offer. They throw out a high number designed to make you stop looking at other offers. You then hear all the reasons why your property won't' qualify for this higher rate. And they try to manipulate you into accepting a much lower offer.
2. They pose as a foreign or out-of-state buyer who wants to buy your house, sight unseen. They have no intention of buying your property but want your personal information and any deposit they can talk you into making.
3. They ask for your signature on minor revisions to the original contract—each one more favorable to them. After multiple changes, they want you to sign a final document that bears little resemblance to the original.

Some people have an urgent reason to sell their houses fast, such as divorce, relocation, financial issues, and the like. Other people have homes with serious problems that they can't or won't fix.

Companies that buy houses have a streamlined process of buying houses fast and for cash:

• The investor visits the homeowner and takes a quick look at the property.
• The investor estimates the future value of the home.
• Within 24 hours, an offer is made to the homeowner that factors in all of the investor's costs plus their profit.
• The seller has no responsibility for fixing any problems with the house.
• Within 3 to 30 days of the acceptance of the offer, the seller is paid in cash for the home.

A house that is old and ugly has been neglected:

• The roof could be leaking.
• The foundation might have settled.
• Floor joists could have significant cracks.
• Mold could be growing in the walls.

A rundown property frequently has other problems as well:

• The neighbors might be drug dealers.
• The neighborhood could be located next to a foul-smelling factory.
• The taxes might be delinquent.
• The mortgage payments could be overdue.

If you inherited, or otherwise own such a house, you can fix it up and settle all the debt. And with no other problems, you can list it through a realtor or sell it through a FSBO sale.

But what if you don't have the money to fix it up and settle any debt? And what if the house is surrounded by bad neighbors in a rough area of Dallas?

Take the easy way. Sell it to an investor who will buy it AS IS. The investor buys the house and all its problems.

It is nearly impossible to find a traditional buyer willing to buy a house with a lien against it. A bank won't use a home as collateral for a loan if the house doesn’t have a clear title. So the buyer would have to guarantee the loan with cash or some other collateral.

You can ask the lienholder for new terms. And if you show good faith by paying down some of the indebtedness, the lienholder might release the lien from the property. You could then sell the property as you wish.

But the easy way requires no effort on your part. Sell the house to us. We take over the lien and settle it with the lienholder.

Security is a significant issue with a vacant home. Thieves aren't much of a problem if there's nothing to steal. But vandals are attracted to empty buildings, and it's not uncommon for the homeless to take up residence in an empty house.

Install a wireless security system with both cameras and alarms. An option to schedule lights and sound can give the house the appearance of occupancy from the street.

Typical buyers have a hard time picturing themselves living in an empty house. Consider hiring a staging company to improve the appeal of the home.

Whether the house was inherited or you relocated, someone needs to represent you if you no longer live in the Dallas area. Consider hiring a property manager to represent you during the sale.

But you can avoid all this hassle by selling to us. We can have a vacant house out of your hands in less than two weeks. And you won't have to spend any time or money.

Inexperienced real estate agents are hungry for new business, and you might find a new agent willing to list your house AS IS. But typical buyers aren't interested in homes with problems. So your house could sit on the market indefinitely.

If you decide to sell it yourself:

• Order a home inspection to help you identify all of the problems with the house.
• To determine the cost of fixing those issues, get estimates from contractors.
• If the house has indebtedness against it (other than a mortgage), calculate the settlement amount.
• Adjust your asking price accordingly.
• Prepare all disclosure documents and have them ready to sign with a final buyer.
• Any buyer looking for a fixer-upper is not going to care whether you stage the house, so market it accordingly.
• Be prepared for difficult negotiations from buyers who will try to get you to accept a lowball offer.

The quickest way to sell a house in poor condition is to contact a real estate investor. Working with us, you will have our cash offer within 24 hours. When you accept our offer, you sell the house to us AS IS. And the deal closes within a few days.
