The pressure of an accelerated sale can leave you vulnerable to poor decision making and weak non-competitive offers from Realtors and their respective clients.

Our competitive offers are simple to understand, straightforward and cut out much of the dreadful work of selling your home through the Realtor and buyer system.
Is Selling Right For You?
The reason you are selling your house is entirely up to you. However this difficult decision can sometimes feel like a burden. We sell your home without the burden of traditional home sales. In our many years of selling homes several simple reasons continue to come up in every conversation with our clients. The top reasons that homeowners contact us include:
Financial Reasons – A home is a long-term investment. However, your personal finance structure has the ability to change over time. In many cases your finances increase over time. But in some cases it changes for the negative and suddenly you find yourself in a difficult situation where it’s getting more challenging each month to pay the mortgage. You cannot afford to live in the home at this time and want to avoid further financial downfall by falling into foreclosure.
Life Events – Whether you need to downsize or up-size to a bigger home, life changes over the period of most home ownerships. Downsizing is very common among couples as they get older and children begin to move out. Homeowners then face the struggle of maintaining a bigger house in their older years that they simply do not need anymore. Divorce is another life-changing event we hear our clients tell us. Couples need to liquidate the home and split all assets down the middle. Some families need to sell fast to liquidate an estate of a deceased family member. The last life changing event we hear from most often is when a family begins to grow and now they suddenly realize they need more rooms and a bigger place to raise their families.
Relocation – Sometimes the house just has to go. You won’t be there because you and your family are forced to relocate for a better job opportunity or a mandated company transfer. This is a when a buyer really has to sell quickly because the burden of moving, starting a new job and selling your house can be overwhelming for even the calmest of personalities. Some of us relocate for different reasons such as military deployment or even, imprisonment.
Emergencies – Life can change in an instant. The money paid into your home is equity that in particular circumstances, you need to access as soon as possible. Common examples of this we hear most often include medical procedures or treatments and bail bonds. Whatever your situation, we are here to help you.
Exhaustion – We hear from a lot of homeowners who say they just want out of the house. They have given up on maintaining it, the house is old and are too tired to deal with the hassles of the real estate market. These sellers view the home as a burden and no longer want the responsibilities associated with it. This can be an aging couple, a landlord who no longer wants to wrangle with tenants every month, or they simply want a quick and easy way out.
No matter what your specific reason is however, we are here to make your life much simpler and take some of the pressure off your shoulders. Sellers should know that there is a solution and service that we provide that makes it easy to sell your home quickly and effortlessly with less stress and more piece of mind. Contact us today and let us do this for you.
We are Not Real Estate Agents
Let’s be clear. The hardworking and dedicated folks behind NeedToSellMyHouse.com are not Realtors and that’s a good thing. Realtors are motivated by one thing only. Money. They are taught to maximize profits while cutting a larger commission check for themselves in the process. Realtors want you to get the most money for your home even if it’s not in the best interest of the buyer. In some less populated areas of this country and during a weak housing market cycle, a home can be on the market for years before a respectable offer is even made on the property. This of course is after the buyer has already burdened themselves with costly repairs and aesthetic upgrades to make the house for appealing and attractive to potential buyers. Realtors do not always respect your wishes as their job is get the most money for that house as possible. In many cases this strategy will pay off, but it can take years. You do not have months or even years to do this. We here understand the urgency of our clients who come to us asking for a quick, honest and fair sale of their home without any of the necessary hassle of dealing with Realtors and buyers.
Our offers are fair, consistent and firm. We want to offer the best price for your home minus the commitments of a traditional sale. We understand you do not have the luxury to wait anymore. As a result we respect your needs and your sense of urgency and do not use that to our advantage. We understand the possible difficulty and sensitive nature that selling a family home can produce. If financial troubles or foreclosure are the reason you are selling, you may not be able to afford the mounting expense of maintaining the property, its quarterly real estate taxes or getting it ready to show buyers. As a result, we offer you a respectable solution that is competitive and leaves everyone in a position to quickly move onto the next chapter of their lives. A Realtor will receive his or her commission regardless of how much mounting debt must be paid down after waiting months or years for the home to sell.
The expenses that can quickly mount in times of financial trouble will come directly off the sale of your home. This includes, infrastructure repairs, real estate taxes, maintenance fees and insurance just name a few. The longer you wait, the less profit you net in the end. Sellers with this sense of urgency benefit from our service because no one else feels the burden of these mounting expenses but yourself. You know when you need to sell to keep financial loses to a minimum and often times a Realtor will be blind to this sense of empathy. A relator has no monetary interest to invest in the personal feelings of your financial troubles. The bottom line or sale price solely determines how much he or she is paid. This is not to say a Realtor cannot work tremendously for some people. In many cases they go above and beyond to earn that three to six percent commission. However, the need to sell a home fast is a unique task not built for every, seller, home or market in today’s economic climate. That why we are here to help and make this a straightforward, fair process that help you move on financially from your property. We can complete the sale of your home in days.

The True Cost of Waiting
The statistics do show that on average, sales assisted by real estate agents do in fact command a higher sales price. However, these statistics fail to report and take into consideration the costs that the homeowner will invariably incur by using a real estate agent. These costs that are routinely glossed over by selling and chalked up to selling expenses that include, administrative, holding, legal and closing costs.
Administrative Costs: When you decide to sell you should perform a financial audit of the property to determine just how much you money you have to pay off before listing the home for sale or how much money will invariably come off the sale of the house itself. Common administrative costs include closing outstanding work permits, unpaid utilities, city code violations, unpaid property taxes, and existing financing. The more you wait, the more these administrative costs continue to skyrocket.
Holding Costs: Ask yourself. What will it cost to continue living in this house for the duration of the sale? Can I afford to continue living here for six months to a year or longer before a Realtor finds a buyer for the property? These costs can include the property taxes, maintenance fees, repairs, and utilities.
Legal Costs: Not every home sale is a straightforward process. Often, the seller must hire a lawyer to navigate tough legal barriers such as government liens, sales through inheritance or a split sale from divorce proceedings. Either way, these costs are expensive and can be avoided with our service. We make a simple cash offer for the sale of your property without allowing legal fees to eat away at the equity and final net profit of the sale.
Closing Costs: This necessary but burdensome cost is increasing every year. Research suggests that sellers can expect to pay as much as 10 percent of the sale price in closing costs. This mean that if your home sells for $250,000 you can expect to pay as much as $25,000 in closing costs. When we buy your house, we pay you cash. No closing costs. Ever.
Repairs and Utilities: As previously mentioned, if you are going to sell your house with an agent they will want you to make repairs to the home in order to increase its selling potential. While this may net a larger profit in the end, how much you will be required to invest combined with the length of time the home stays on the market (remember the holding costs)? When the dust clears, are you really coming out ahead financially? How much of the money will you recoup in the end? Too many variables to consider, especially when you desire to sell the home quickly. Request an offer from us today and see how much easier we can make the selling of your house really be.
True or False
I am legally required to use the services of a real estate broker in order to sell a house?
FALSE: A recent survey, however, found that 75 percent of homeowners thought a real estate agent was required in order to sell a house.
To sell my house I need a real estate License.
FALSE: You do not need an agent or a real estate license to sell you own home. We provide you with other options that are faster, simpler, convenient and even more profitable than selling with an agent.
You can get stuck working with an agent.
TRUE: Most agents will lock you into an exclusive listing agreement. This means you are committed to selling the house with them and agree to pay the commission to the seller no matter how you find a buyer. Once you sign that agreement, even if you found a buyer on your own, the agent is still owed commission from the sale. This is meant to prevent a seller from using multiple agents in order to get the best offer. Exclusive listing agreement however, has negative consequences for the buyer and takes profit away from the sale of your home.
Real estate agents are a natural conflict of interest.
TRUE: Real estate agents work for commissions and don’t always have the best interests of the seller in mind. They are driven by their own personal motivations to make money. Getting paid strictly by commission is a natural conflict of interest leaving a Realtor in a position to not disclose everything you need to know about selling your home. There are usually two agents involved in a sale, a listing agent and a selling agent. However, in many circumstances it’s possible for a selling agent to find the buyer as well. If you agree on a 3 percent commission for selling your house, this means that the agent will make a total of 6 percent commission off the sale of the house. The buyer will pay the agent 3 percent and you will pay 3 percent. While this doesn’t take more money out of your pocket directly, it has some serious indirect consequences that can hurt you in the end. It’s a conflict of interest.
Look at this example:
Offer Amount/Agents Involved/Commission/Seller Agent’s Profit
1,000,000/ Buyer and Seller’s Agents/3%/30,000
900,000/Seller’s Agent Only/6%/54,000
Using the example above, you can lose $100,000 worth of profit while your agent makes an extra $24,000 in commission, simply because they found the buyer. Do you trust that your agent will allow themselves to leave $24,000 worth of commission just lying on the table? While they are legally bound to tell you all available offers, not all sellers are created equally and ethically. Even though your house is selling for $100,000 less, they are making more commission by being both the buyer and selling agent in the sale.
