How Do You Sell A House By Owner (FSBO)?

Selling your house yourself is doable. It takes a lot of work and research but it is absolutely doable.

First you need a solid understanding of your market.
Find out how much the house is worth as is. Do not just think your house is worth a lot because you like it! Sellers often think their house is a lot more worth because “it is prettier than my neighbors”.
Pay for a flat fee to list the property on the MLS.
Learn how to effectively market the property.
Learn how to negotiate effectively
Hold open houses and learn how to handle the tough questions asked during the open house.
Make sure you know all your laws in your area pertaining to real estate transactions!

Is A “We Buy Houses” Company Right For Me?

“We are not desperate to sell our home in CT, nor are we in a hurry!”

Believe it or not, the majority of sellers we have purchased houses in Connecticut from were not desperate to sell (at all), nor where they trying to escape foreclosure. Most of our clients choose us simply because they either have had bad experiences with listing their house with an agent, or they just don’t want to deal with repairs, constant walk-throughs or any hassle one experiences selling a house the traditional way.

Because we buy houses in any condition, as is, no matter the circumstance, location or issue you facing (if any), we often are a great option to consider to sell quick, and with ease.

Let us figure out the numbers and how much we can offer you in cash for your home in CT, and we will advise you if listing with an agent would be a better choice or not. After all, it doesn’t hurt to get an offer from us, our offers are completely free without any obligation to accept!

Why Should I Choose You?

Honestly, you absolutely do not have to choose us!

We are not desperate. We do not need to make a huge profit on each deal. By all means, do not let me tell you why you should choose us.

Will Cash Home Buyers List My House On The MLS?

How Are You Different From A Real Estate Agent?

An agent does not actually buy your house. Agents market your house on the Multiple Listing Service (MLS), in hopes a buyer will be interested. Agents charge commissions and fees. Listing your house in Connecticut with an agent means you pay closing costs, title fees, and have to tolerate countless of walkthroughs while the house is on the market which can be a long time.

We are two people with the cash and connections to other cash buyers interested in buying houses, rehab them and put it back on the market for sale for a profit. We are cash buyers and investors. We are the ones actually buying your house. We skip the entire “agent” process and jump immediately to the offer and closing on your property you have for sale in Connecticut. We cover the conventional expenses associated with selling a house like closing costs and inspections. The most notable difference is that we do not charge you any fees or commissions. As mentioned, we skip the entire “agent” process.

Should I Just List My House In CT With An Agent?

Honestly, we do not know… (yet)! We would need to take a look at your house, your situation, your timeline, your location your expectations, needs and requirements for us to give you a solid answer. And we are happy to provide you with our professional recommendation.

Many people do not understand the advantages and disadvantages of listing a house on the MLS. We would love to help you with this. If you would like that answer now, just fill in our form below and we will get in touch with you with what we believe is your best course of action concerning selling your house in Connecticut.

Watch the video below for a very easy to understand and follow bird’s eye view of what happens after you fill out our form.

There are no obligations, at all. We understand that you have options. We know there are people out there eager to scam you, and eager to take advantage of you and your situation.

Do I Need To Clean Before I Move Out?

Nope. Don’t worry about anything. Take what ever it is you want to take and leave the rest. And we mean it. Food in the fridge, clothes on the floor, mattresses, desks, furniture, heck we once found a racoon carcas in a wall. Gave our contractor a good scare but we don’t judge. Believe me when we say, we have seen it all. So why not make things easier and just take what you don’t want to part with and let us deal with the rest?

Are There Any Fees Or Commissions To Work With You?

Do You Pay Fair Prices For Properties?

Very good question. Yes we definitely pay fair prices. But please know there is a difference between a fair price and market value. If the house is in bad shape, we take the market value of the house and subtract all the cost of repairs needed and we come up with number that obviously is a fair price. In some special cases we can present highly competitive offers at market value. However, usually those cases do not allow us to pay all cash. Seller financing is one such of such cases.For more information on fair offers I have written a simple example on how such “below market offers” may still be the best offer scenario.

How Do You Determine The Price To Offer On My House?

Basically:

1. We Determine The Market Value Of Your Home In CT.

It all starts with a CMA ( Comparable Market Analysis). We look at all the houses that have recently been sold within a 1 mile radius of your house, that are very similar (comparable) to your house, (same square footage, number of beds/baths etc. ).

We then look at their sold price. This gives us a very accurate market value of your house, if your house is in the exact same condition of these other houses that have been sold.

2. We Determine The Cost Of Repairs.

The cost of repairs is the cost associated with bringing your house to a very similar condition as all the other houses in your area that are similar to yours that have recently been sold. During the walkthrough we note what needs to be repaired. We do this with the help of our trusted contractors. We want to keep the costs down so we only repair what we really have to repair.

Keeping the cost down ensures the highest offer we can present to you.

3. We Make You An Offer.

Based on our findings which we share with you, we present you with our offer. Because we are transparent we explain in full detail how we come up with the offer and show you the repairs and the CMA of your market. The offer is a no obligation to accept offer. You can ether accept the offer or decline it without cost as everything is free to you.

If you accept the offer we can discuss a closing date where you will receive your cash and be completely done with the house! Congratulations, you just sold your house without any hassled, fees or commissions. Here you will find an actual example explained in detail.
