How To Achieve a Quick Property Sale in 2007

Sell your Property Quickly in 2007

You know how it is. You have just found the home you were looking for and the sellers have accepted your offer. Now you've got to sell your current home, a goal that won't be hard to achieve according to your estate agent. Your property gets put onto the market and there's quite a bit of interest from potential buyers within the following days. Soon it all quiets down. Weeks pass by, then months and still you are no closer to selling your home than when you first started. An even worse situation, your buyer gets out right before the closing is set to take place.

Choosing to sell your home through a real estate agent may be an extremely long process. The fees are also outrageous, especially after you factor in the fees from the real estate agent as well as the extra house payments and legal fees you will be paying while waiting for your house to sell. Then if you don't get a fast property sale you run the chance of losing the home you want too. Given these rough circumstances, it's no wonder that relocating is looked at as one of life's most stressful events.

Basically, there are two alternatives to selling through a realtor. One is to sell over the internet. The other is using a company that buys homes direct. Such agencies can be found advertising their cash property buyer offers on the internet. There are disadvantages and advantages associated with each one of these methods.

Hundreds of people sell their property in the UK every month privately. You save on real estate costs, which could be up to 3%, and you control the deal. And you won't have to get a Home Information Pack from the Government when they become mandatory in the summer of 2007 (due to the fact that private sales are exempt). There are some disadvantages that need to be thought about. If you choose to advertise online, and need to sell a house quickly, you'll need to devote lots of time to advertise the property. You'll need to register on multiple private sale websites, to increase your chances, write-up a description of the property and upload it to the sites along with suitable resized photos. Next you will be dealing with all of the interest directly and also spend a lot of time drafting answers to help sell the property. You're also still at risk of not being able to find a buyer very quickly or the risk of broken chains and buyers getting out at the last minute.

The next private sale option is finding companies who work with providing quick property sales services. You will receive an offer from them, usually a day or two following, and the sale takes far less time to finish than average. It doesn't matter what condition the home is in, and you won't be wasting time trying to 'sell' the home to the buyer either.

You should be prepared to take a below market value offer on your property. These companies, in return for a fast house sale, purchase at discounts of between 10% and 20%. As long as you are willing to make a concession on price, you will have a quick sale and, most importantly, one that is stress-free.
