Sell Your Palm Springs Home to a Cash Buyer
In the past, Palm Springs home owners didn’t have a lot of choices when it was time to sell.
You could hire an expensive realtor and pay 5-6% commission or maybe do a FSBO, “for sale by owner”.
In the past, there were always cash buyers around who would make low ball offers, but there wasn’t any way to leverage them against each other and get a bidding war going.
And if you needed to update your home, the only option was to hire contractors and pay for it yourself.
That’s the old way. You have a lot more options today.
Traditional Cash Offer
The first option is to do a standard sale to a cash buyer who will most likely flip your home after the close of escrow. This will most likely result in the lowest net proceeds but will be the fewest hassles and headaches.
This solution works for people who need to or have to “sell now”, You can get your cash as soon as ten days after an offer is accepted or choose a longer close. You won’t be paying any commissions in the traditional sense but many of these kinds of cash buyers have transaction fees or other costs associated with the sale.
Here’s where my service is different. I can get offers from multiple cash buyers and leverage them against each other to get a higher price for you. What’s the difference of me doing that or you doing it on your own? I have access to far more cash buyers and I know how to negotiate with them in language they understand.
Cash Plus
A “cash plus” offer is a 2 close transaction.
At the first closing, the seller receives a fair cash payout. After closing, the buyer will do some minor repairs, updates, deep cleaning and staging and the property will go back on the market.
When it sells, the original owner/seller will receive a second payout based on the increased value minus 2nd owner’s costs including closing costs.
Fix & Flip
Updated homes sell for more.
It’s that simple. But understandably, many home owners don’t want to take on the burden of finding contractors, selecting material, and then living through the process while dealing with all the other day to days life issues.
And others simply don’t want to spend the money out of pocket to get the work done.
There’s a solution for all of that.
TWO OPTIONS
1) You agree on a scope of work and budget. The contractors do the work. Your home is sold and the cost of the remodel is deducted from your net proceeds.
2) A cash buyer purchases your home and you receive a fair market value. The updates and remodel are done and you participate in the upside with the flipper.
Not all homes will qualify for these programs.
LET’S GET STARTED
1) Start typing in your property address. The system will most likely find it before you finish.
2) Verify your basic property info.
3) Review up to 4 offers with different options.
PLEASE NOTE - some properties on leased land and some condos may not qualify for these offers.
