The first thing you need to check is what your home is valued at. In other words, finding similar properties in your neighborhood that have been listed for sale. Of course, you can also bring in a real estate agent that will provide this service to you for free.
As soon as this is completed, you need to start preparing your home. There is a lot of preparation involved that starts with removing clutter. You also want to present the housee in a way that shows that it doesn’t really belong to you. This way, the buyers can envision themselves in it. In order to do this successfully, minimize the amount of personal photographs you have on display on the walls, try taking them all down.
Decluttering is a task that must be done on a room by room basis. It might also be in your benefit to rearrange the furniture placement. This could free up some space and make the room more functional, all the while providing a better traffic flow. This is extremely important. And, if it isn’t placed properly and there’s too much furniture, your room and your home will look smaller than it really is. So store anything that really isn’t absolutely necessary to you and your family members.
The same must be done with each closet. When the closets are neat, they look good and they look bigger than they really are. As many people are looking for more space, they will be turned off if they are overly crowded. But, you must maintain this tidiness until you sell your home.
In addition to all this, you have to ensure that your kitchen is always clean. If at all possible, remove most of the items from the countertops. This will always make your room look clean and crisp and look as though you have a lot more counter space, which is very important. You can’t stop there, however. Make your way into the garage, if you have one, and ensure that it is organized.
Then, you should look at all your walls, light switches, doors and door frames, ensuring that they are spotless. If walls have been damaged, pass them over with a coat of paint. There is no need to repaint the entire room. Even if they aren’t damaged, an accent color could add a lot of value by adding warmth.
Now that you’re done, you are prepared to present your home to buyers by having open houses and scheduled appointments. You’ll have to ensure that you properly advertised in local newspapers. And, be prepared by having some paperwork on hand should someone have the urge to make an offer on the spot. Best wishes on selling your house yourself and finding your own buyer. Remember, we represent a large group of buyers who can buy your house fast if you decide to change your mind. Also, you will be under no obligation at all to accept the offer.
The first step is to find a licensed real estate agent/realtor that specializes in short sales. Be sure they not only have experience in dealing with them but also that they take care of you at No Cost. Also ask them if they are current on the newest laws in your state regarding these types of transactions.
The second step will be for you to provide your agent as quickly as you can all the documents needed to fill a completed financial package including copies of the following:
W2’s for the past 2 years
2 months Bank Statements
Last 2 paystubs
Profit & Loss statements for last 2 quarters (if self-employed)
Hardship letter
Letter of authorization for your short sale agent to speak to the bank
Any specific bank paperwork.Your agent can provide this or visit your lender websites for their financial assistance package.
The third step will be for our short sale specialist agent will provide you with the listing paperwork to list the property for sale. Be sure that agent puts “All commissions to be paid for by sellers’ lender(s)” in the Additional Terms section. This protects you from being responsible for an agent’s commission at closing.
The forth step is to make sure that they allow access to the property via lockbox. The easier the property is to show, the easier and faster it is to sell!
The fifth step is to keep your property in top showing condition to have a greater chance at attracting a buyer who has a strong desire to be the new owner. Make the beds, put dishes in the dishwasher, vacuum, use air fresheners, clean up any clutter (including those closets & garages!), keep bathrooms clean, lawn trimmed, rocks raked, etc. It’s amazing the effect a clean, uncluttered house has on potential buyers!
The sixth step is once your short sale specialist agent receives an offer, YOU should consider accepting any offer as the seller are the one responsible for accepting it, and this will get the ball rolling. This can be confusing – remember, you need to accept the offer first and THEN submit it to the bank for approval.
The seventh step will be for the short sale specialist will continue negotiations with the bank until approval. Banks are notorious for playing hardball and a good negotiator will be able to handle tough banking mitigators.
The eighth step is getting the APPROVAL!!! Your agent will provide you with the approval letter stating all the conditions. Make sure to read this carefully and sign off on it that you agree. Don’t let the bank try and slip something by you – if they are going to then here is where they do it! All you have to do now is sign the closing documents and be on your way to a brighter future without all that debt! Then you can make a fresh start and rebuild your life again.
Congratulations on your short sale!

Did you know that since the first of the year, cash sales have picked up steam, especially in markets with high percentages of short sales and foreclosures where investors are looking for bargains? For example, In the state of Florida, the percentage is certainly higher with more than 50 percent of the residential sales transactions involving cash buyers. And cash buyers accounted for a record 30.9 percent share of all California house and condo sales in January 2011.
Cash buyers want a smooth, fast closing when buying your house as much as the bank does, so they don’t add difficulty to the transaction by expecting the bank to negotiate on specifics. They just want a house for good deals seeing they have the cash available. Also, if the bank has to repossess a property it will cost them money. The buyer is not obtaining a loan that requires a 20% down payment or less, the buyer's lender will not fund unless the buyer coughs up more cash, so cash buyers don't make offers contingent on an appraisal.
Lenders that work with cash buyers don't have to worry about the transaction closing falling apart after weeks or even monthes of anticipation. Lenders often deny loans for pre-qualified buyers because the buyers' qualifications sometimes change upon further scrutiny. Maybe the buyer wasn't fully employed in the same occupation for the past two years, perhaps financial situations were altered prior to closing such as the buyer purchasing a new car or worse, maybe the buyer was unwittingly a victim of identity theft. So, there is no loan funding contingency.
Bottom line is that a faster closing puts money, yes cash, into the lender's pocket sooner. There are also fewer things that can go wrong in a short escrow period. A buyer does not need 45 to 60 days to close if the buyer is not applying for a loan and the lender will not risk seeing the transaction fall apart for an under qualified buyer. Once the home inspection and other contingencies have been satisfied or released, closing can take place in as little as 3 to 7 days, providing the buyer is willing to sign any waivers.
So now you know and understand about cash buyers and how to sell your house fast for cash to a company that represents buyers who want to make it easier for the seller and lender, so if you want to move your house to closing faster and smoother, give us a call at 888-877-9824 or to get started today simply CLICK HERE to fill an online form.
