Divorce proceedings are very complicated, even when both spouses end on good terms. Considered that a house is almost always the biggest asset for most American families, no wonder why selling a house in a messy divorce is extremely overwhelming.
First thing first, you need to decide the best method to sell the home. There are other options beside listing with a real estate agent or selling it yourself (For Sale By Owner). Continue to read below to determine the most convenience way for selling your house in Augusta in a messy divorce
Timing is money
In general, after a divorce, the last remaining issue is to sell your house in Augusta and divide the proceeds as fast as possible, closing out the long and exhausting process. To alleviate the stress of the event, you may consider selling your house directly to a cash buyer like HBI Home Solutions. Direct cash buyers can assure the closing as quickly as seven days. In contrast, you have zero guarantee how fast you can sell the house if you list it with a realtor, or try to sell it yourself. The longer your house remains unsold, the more holding cost is adding up. Not only that, your property appeal and listing price will also be dropping as it sits on the market. Therefore, selling your house to a direct cash buyer is a faster and more convenient option, saving you both time and money.
Repairs
Sometimes, the condition of the house is a big headache for the sellers, especially if the house has not been updated within the last 5 years. Not everyone can afford to pay for the repairs or capable of doing the work themselves. Then when sellers go under contract with traditional buyers, they constantly worry about the inspection result where the buyers may back out of the sale or ask for a huge price cut. A better way to sell your house in Augusta is to sell it as-is to a direct cash buyer. This means that the cash buyer acknowledge the current condition of the house and will not ask you to do any work to it before closing. At HBI Home Solutions, we have an extremely efficient renovation process, allowing us to save much of the construction labor and material costs. Ultimately we pass down all that savings onto you. As the result, we can afford to buy your house as-is and fix it up ourselves while giving you a fair offer for the property.
Marketing
When listing your house for sale with a real estate agent in Augusta, they will ask you to spend an arm and leg on marketing. One of the big marketing expenses is staging the home, a method of presenting your house as a blank slate, free of personal possessions that may interfere with the potential buyers envisioning themselves in the space. In addition, they will also ask for a professional photographers to take high-quality photos of your home, which is to be used for virtual showing; this service isn’t free of course, but rather comes with hefty premium. The energy, headache, and dollars putting into marketing your property cannot be understated. Contrast this to working with a direct home buyer, you won’t have to worry about spending time and money for marketing, professional stagers, photographers, and drone pilots, in addition to the real estate commissions.
Showings
In a heated divorce, cleaning up your house and tidying up for house for showings might just be a final nail in the coffin. Imagine the hassle of having to keep your house in tip-top clean condition since you never know when a buyer is going to show up and poke around the house. It is an annoyance to have multiple strangers walking around your house and nit-picking its details on a weekly basis. Given the current state of the social distancing guideline, you may also be asked to remotely show your house around to buyers through your camera. A better option is to cut through the clutter and sell your house fast directly to HBI Home Solutions. We can help you eliminate all the showings and skip all the hassle of cleaning up the property. We’ll handle your unwanted belongings, too; just take the stuffs you want and leave everything else behind. We will do a complete site cleanup so you don’t have to.
Flexibility
Typically when selling your house with an agent, you are expected to vacate the home on the sale date. It is very inflexible for the sellers to have any other options because the buyers will want to move into their primary home as soon as possible. It is stressful to find a temporary place to live while finding new permanent residency with such short time windows. You could ask your agent to negotiate with the buyers and create a leaseback, whereby you rent the property after closing for a given period. However, you don’t have to worry about that when selling your house directly in Augusta to a cash buyer. Working with us means that closing date can be at any time that is convenient for you. You tell us how much time you need and we will do our best to accommodate.
