How do you figure out what to offer for my house?
Great question! Our method is pretty clear. We look at where your house is, what fixes it
needs, its current condition, and how much similar houses nearby have sold for recently. We put
all this information together to come up with a fair price that works for both of us.
How are you different from a real estate agent?
Real estate agents put homes on the market and wait for a buyer. They show homes to
potential buyers, and selling a house can take anywhere from 6 to 12 months. Agents charge a
commission of 3 to 6% of the sale price. For a $100,000 house, that means you could pay $3,000
to $6,000 in fees.
While agents are great for those who aren’t in a hurry and don’t mind paying commission, our
approach is different. We’re not agents; we’re direct buyers. Our company buys your house straight from you for cash. This means we can often decide to buy your house quickly, sometimes even on the same day. We handle all the risks, repairs, and marketing ourselves after purchasing your home.
Is there any obligation if I give you my information?
Not at all. After you share some details about your property, we might call you to learn more
and then we’ll make you a cash offer that’s fair to both of us. The decision to sell is completely
up to you. We’ll respect whatever you choose.
Can I sell my house if I'm behind on payments with Seller First?
Absolutely. At Seller First, we understand that financial challenges can happen to anyone.
We’re able to close quickly, often in just a few weeks. This means you could have the cash you
need in hand before missing another payment, helping you prevent foreclosure. We’re here to
offer a swift and supportive solution.
Do I need to repair anything before selling my house to Seller First?
No repairs needed at all. When you sell to Seller First, you can leave your house exactly as it
is.
How can I sell my house quickly with Seller First?
To get started, simply fill out our online form. We’ll quickly schedule a virtual appointment
to discuss your property. During this meeting, you could receive a cash offer promptly. We are
known for our ability to close deals fast, often in just a few weeks.
Can I have my attorney review the purchase agreement with Seller First?
Absolutely. While we strive to make our purchase agreements clear and straightforward, you
are welcome to have your attorney review the documents. If you choose to do so, we’ll gladly
send the necessary paperwork to your lawyer.
Is selling your home for cash to Seller First worth it?
Selling your home for cash with Seller First can be very beneficial, especially if you’re
looking for a quick sale or wish to bypass the usual complications that come with traditional
buyers. This method typically allows for a faster closing period and involves fewer hassles.
However, be aware that the offer might be lower than what you might receive in a conventional
sale. This trade-off can be worthwhile for the convenience and speed of the transaction.
How can I sell my house for more than what I'd get in a cash sale?
Selling your home through Seller First using our terms or creative financing options can often
result in a higher price compared to a straightforward cash sale. When you choose to sell on
terms, we work out a financing arrangement that is tailored to your needs, which can maximize
your sale price. This method is particularly useful if you’re looking for flexibility and a
potentially greater financial return. It’s a great option for those who want to optimize their selling
price without the immediate rush of a cash transaction.
How can I sell my house if I have no equity in it?
If you need to sell a house that’s actually underwater—where you owe more on the mortgage
than the home’s current value—Seller First can assist with a and to" agreement. This
approach means we take over the existing mortgage payments, allowing you to sell your home
without having to pay off the entire mortgage balance immediately. This method can be
particularly beneficial if you’re looking to quickly move on from your property without the
financial burden of being underwater. It facilitates a smooth and efficient sale process, freeing
you from the mortgage without requiring traditional sale methods that depend on having equity.
I inherited a property I want to sell, but I haven't gone through probate yet. Can I still sell it?
Absolutely, that’s completely fine. If you’ve inherited a property and need to go through
probate before you can sell it, Seller First is here to help. We understand that the probate process
can be daunting, so we offer the convenience of bringing our own attorneys to handle the probate
proceedings for you. This service simplifies the process, allowing you to sell the inherited
property without the hassle and expense of navigating probate on your own. We’re here to make
the sale as smooth and straightforward as possible.
