Relocation is a complicated exercise in coordination. We get local Dallas, Plano, McKinney, or Frisco home sellers calling us or submitting their house info on this website every week saying “I’m relocating and need to sell my house in Dallas, Plano, McKinney, or Frisco“. The great thing is that we’re able to help a good many of those sellers sell their house quickly (because we’re actively buying houses in Dallas, Plano, McKinney, or Frisco TX right now!).
There’s an insane amount of details to keep together, plus the stress of whatever is making you move in the first place – often it’s a new job or a sick relative, but the true need to move always comes with a dramatic change.
So how do you make the most out of a difficult situation?
Don’t Agonize – Organize.
Being in a situation where you end up paying to own and maintain a vacant house for 2 years is not a situation you want to be in. That can be very expensive and it doesn’t have to be that way when you have other options.
Even though the market is mildly stable currently in Dallas, Fort Worth , Plano and locally, things can change quickly. We’ve heard some serious horror stories over the past couple of years. Unless you’re extremely wealthy, you probably can’t afford to wait it out to see what happens.
So how do you make the right choices when you’re relocating and need to sell your Dallas, Plano, McKinney, or Frisco TX house fast?
What if I’mRelocating And Need To Sell My House Fast In Dallas, Plano, McKinney, or Frisco?… Your Options And Steps
First…
- How can to find out what your house is worth: In Order To do this you can contact a real estate agent or connect with us and we can give you a free no obligation valuation on your property. If that number doesn’t work we can list your property for a discount as well. If you know the value of your home then you can decide how long you want to wait for that number or decide what options to make to repair or wait to get the price you want. It’s time vs $$. In some cases the homes need too many repairs or our repair costs are so much faster and cheaper its worth selling to us as a cash buyer and we handle the work.
- Decide how fast you need to sell your house after you relocate: Consider the speed at which you want to sell your house and how much you’re prepared to spend on maintaining dual mortgage and insurance payments, as I’ve witnessed professionals who relocated for work and had their home listed for over a year, selling it at a significantly reduced price compared to their initial expectations.
- Find a solid real estate agent BEFORE you start packing boxes: Get the ball rolling early so you don’t waste any time. Every month that you wait or every month that it takes to sell the house… costs you money. Or if you don’t want to use a real estate agent to sell… we are a reputable local house buyer and we’d love to make you a fast-fair all cash offer. Just fill out the form through this link to get started >>
- Calculate the value of selling your house fast vs. “waiting it out” for a dream price: We all want to sell our houses for as much as possible. But one thing many people forget to do is come up with the $ amount of how much it costs you to hold onto this house. The costs involved include the mortgage (which if you’re still within the first 10 years of the mortgage, the majority of your payment interest and not hardly going to principal at all), insurance, taxes, maintenance, etc.Lets say you want to sell your house for $200,000… and your mortgage payment is $1,200/mo, taxes $200/mo, $100/mo for insurance, and $100/mo for maintenance (lawn maintenance, repairs while you’re gone, etc.).Those expenses add up to $1,600/mo in “non equity building” expenses.If it takes you 7 months to sell that house through a real estate agent for that $200,000… it cost you $11,200 in DIRECT “holding costs” + you had to pay $12,000 in real estate agent fees (assuming 3% for the buyers agent and 3% for the sellers agent).Totaling $23,200 in LOST money. That doesn’t even account for the value of your time, your stress in thinking about that property sitting on the market, the opportunity cost of what you could have been doing with that extra money during those 7 months, etc. So the real cost to you was likely closer to $30,000.But, what if you were to sell your house next week and avoid all of that?Even if you sold for a discount below the retail price (lets say… $175,000)… you’re still ahead of the game by selling the house NOW at a discount to a home buyer like our company vs. 7 months later at full price (and paying holding costs and real estate agent fees).Make sense?
- Take action!: Whatever you decide… decide and take action. If you want to go the real estate agent route, great! Find a reputable local Dallas, Plano, McKinney, or Frisco TX agent. If you’d rather not have to wait and not have to pay real estate agent commissions… then a viable option may be to sell your house to us 🙂
If you possess ample time and a top-notch property, you may consider listing it at a premium price to gauge the market. There’s a slim chance that someone may be willing to pay more due to emotional attachment.
However, most properties are average and similar to surrounding homes. Therefore, unless your property stands out significantly, listing at the highest price won’t yield maximum returns.
You can also try marketing for both sale and rental simultaneously to observe which option prevails. It’s crucial to manage the process, which can be challenging even for experienced real estate agents.
At times, we collaborate with property owners to arrange lease-option agreements where capable buyers rent the property prior to purchasing.
In different scenarios, we assist in loan renegotiations, monthly payment management, or short sales with banks.
We enjoy finding solutions for complex issues.
Innovative approaches can bridge the gap and bring you closer to your goal.
In certain situations, we may partner with property owners to help secure lease option agreements where highly qualified purchasers rent the property for an agreed time before buying.
In other cases, we may help renegotiate a loan, help make monthly payments or conduct a short sale with a bank.
We love helping people solve complicated problems.
Creative solutions can bridge the gap to get you where you need to be.
