Want to learn more about how Joe makes cash offers for GA houses?
Simply put, we buy houses all over Georgia including Woodstock, Rome, and Kennesaw for cash from people that do not want the hassle of selling it on market, for whatever reason they may have.
We have purchased Georgia properties from owners who inherited a house after a family member passed away. We have purchased houses that were damaged by storms and the seller did not have it insured and could not fix it. We have bought houses from people who had their house catch fire and insurance did not pay enough to have it fixed.
There are many reasons people want to sell their GA property. The simplicity of it is we buy houses so the seller can move on to the next phase of life and put a little money in their pocket at the same time.
Selling your house by yourself (FSBO) is entirely achievable, but it requires substantial effort and research. Here's how you can do it:
- Understand Your Market: Gain a thorough understanding of your local real estate market. Determine the current value of your home as-is. Avoid overestimating its value based solely on personal preferences, such as aesthetics.
- List on MLS: Pay a flat fee to list your property on the Multiple Listing Service (MLS), which can significantly increase your home's visibility to potential buyers.
- Effective Marketing: Learn how to market your property effectively. Utilize online platforms, social media, and traditional marketing methods to reach a wide audience.
- Negotiation Skills: Develop strong negotiation skills to ensure you get the best deal possible. Be prepared to handle tough questions and negotiations with potential buyers.
- Open Houses: Host open houses to showcase your property. Be prepared to answer questions from potential buyers and address any concerns they may have.
- Legal Knowledge: Familiarize yourself with all the laws and regulations related to real estate transactions in your area. This knowledge will help you navigate the process smoothly and avoid potential legal issues.
That's why we offer all cash and take any of that extra stress away. We don't rely on bank financing, we buy Georgia properties In cash to renovate and sell to a new homeowner or retain it as a rental.
While selling your home without an agent means avoiding agent fees, you'll still encounter costs such as attorney fees, closing costs, holding costs, title insurance, escrow costs, and more depending on what the buyer agrees to.
However, there are two ways to sell your house without an agent
- For Sale Buy Owner (FSBO)
- The major benefit of the FSBO deal is that you are more likely to get a higher offer
- However, this option requires getting the property ready for showings, negotiating with the buyers agents, doing any repairs if a lender requires them, bank approval for the purchase price (appraisal etc), and waiting for 30-60 days for the deal to close.
- The major downside to the FSBO is that it takes a lot more time and the chances of them closing are low
2. Sell to a cash buyer
- The major benefit to selling to a cash buyer is that we offer all cash and they close fast
- This option is much faster in all aspects of the deal. There is no need to repair or clean up the property. There is no buyers agent just a cash offer. We pay for all closing costs. AND we can close within weeks
- The major downside to a cash buyer is that we take on all the risk of the property so we are offering lower than what you will get in the FSBO option
