Dear Friend, Trying to sell your home can be a Nightmare! But, after reading this Special Report, you may very well have a qualified buyer within the next 9 days... Me! While I can't promise you I will buy your house in the next 9 days, I can tell you I'm constantly looking for and buying nice homes like yours from other folks in this area. I am well qualified to buy your home, and very interested in doing just that. As you read this Report, you'll get a good, general idea of what I look for, and some answers to questions I'm commonly asked. First of all, I'm not a Realtor, but a private individual, like yourself. People who've never tried to sell a home themselves just don't seem to understand all that's involved: The details, the time, the waiting, the ads that never seem to make the phone ring. Having strangers walking through your bedroom. Strangers that feel obligated to pick apart the most trivial features of your interior decorating tastes. Two-faced people, who smile and nod and act serious, but never call back. It can be a much bigger hassle than you ever thought possible... in fact, it can easily turn into your worst nightmare! Like I said, I'm no Realtor, but I know what homeowners go through when they try to sell their home. You may still be in the "thinking about it" stage. Maybe you've already tried listing your house with an agent... maybe you haven't decided you're ready to go that route yet. |

| While it can't hurt
to list with a Real Estate agent or broker, by the same token, do they
ever seem to have the same "feel" for your house as you do?
After all, if you had a computer sitting in your office loaded with
thousands of nice, beautiful houses of all shapes, sizes, and price
ranges... what kind of real "selling" would you actually do? Would you really go all out and work on selling one particular customer's house? Or would you pick out a selection of several houses for your prospective buyers, hoping to land them on one... any one... of the many homes you'd selected? Come on... you'd go with the numbers. After all, you don't have any personal liability if the seller's house sits an extra week or two... and there's always the next customer. And the next listing. But then, you're no Realtor, either. That's why more and more folks have gone the "For Sale By Owner" route: you buy your sign, you place your ad, you show your home. You wait. You call back the lookers and leave messages on their answering machines. Maybe you actually get a live one, and write up an agreement! Several weeks pass. You start thinking something's going wrong. Financing?! But it's supposed to be the buyers' job to get a loan, not yours! Right?! Can you tell I've been there? Right back on square one, with a beautiful house, priced right, and not a clue on how to make it go away. Looking down the barrel of a deadline to move. Sometimes the reasons people sell their home are great ones... a new job, a transfer, building or buying another home. Sometimes the reasons aren't so good at all... bankruptcy, divorce, foreclosure. Thinking about selling can quickly become wanting to sell... and it's amazing how fast "want to" can become "have to". Whatever the reason, it puts you in a pickle. What if I were sitting at your dining room table right now, and told you I wanted to buy your house...? No sweat on the credit... in fact, we may very well close with all- cash. No problem with the non-assumable loan. No problem catching up any payments in arrears. We can probably wrap up the whole thing within 24 hours. Would you perk up a little if that were the case? I don't know how much you owe, how much it's worth, or any of that. Those details can be handled when I am at your table. What I do know... and what you should know, is... If you call me and give me the facts, I'll either tell you on-the-spot I can't help, or come and leave you with one or more offers... within 24 hours. I buy and sell property. You might say I'm an investor. With your property, I'll probably structure several options, and let you choose the one that best suits your needs. The purchase price will be sufficient, I guarantee it. I will immediately take the financial burden of any monthly mortgage payments off your back, and I'll also take care of any fixups or maintenance, regardless of how minor or how serious. What's more, I'll close when you're ready. You see, I've found I can make a profit on homes that even real estate agents have passed up... because I personally handle the whole process. When I agree with you to purchase your property... I take it seriously... I treat your house like it's my own. Your situation literally becomes my own. And, frankly, I don't know how to make it work any other way. You can get on
with your life! LEASE/OPTIONWhat is it?Taking possession of a property by leasing it from the seller with an option to buy at a predetermined price, retaining the right to sublease to a tenant/buyer, giving them the right to purchase from you. Commonly referred to as a sandwich lease. What if the tenant tears up my house?There's no way I can guarantee you a tenant won't damage your house since I won't be living with them. But under our agreement, if that happened, I would repair it at my expense. My objective is to find a buyer who will eventually qualify for a loan, and not a "tenant". Damages are rarely a problem. Again, if it happens, I'll fix it as per our written agreement. When will you sell the house?I can't give you an exact time. It will be up to the tenant/buyer to make that decision within the time frame they have. I can tell you I get paid when they buy, so obviously I'll be pushing them to do so... quickly! In the meantime, your payments will be made, which relieves you of the financial burden. How do I know I can trust you?I can understand your concern. We'll meet face-to-face after you call. You'll find I don't make empty promises... I shoot straight and I know this business. I believe I can create a solution that will work for both of us. If not, or if you're not comfortable after we meet, we'll shake hands and go our separate ways. Honestly, I view our business relationship as more personally than just handling a house... I want you to be confident, and able to sleep well every night without worrying about your house or your payments. In fact, I wouldn't enter an agreement with anyone if I wasn't confident in that person... and I don't expect any less from you. I'm willing to devote my time and resources to your house, but only if you feel comfortable with that arrangement. How do I know you'll make my mortgage payments?I can pay you direct and let you forward it to the mortgage company yourself. Or, we can set up a third party escrow company to collect from me and pay it for you. You can also choose for me to pay your lender direct. If I didn't pay, the lender would immediately notify you. So you're always on top, whichever method you choose. Why don't I just list with a Realtor?That's certainly an option, but obviously a Realtor won't make your payment for you while they're attempting to sell your house. I'm willing to make your payment, lease or buy your house, and maintain all the while. I'll give it my personal attention, and you can forget about it until my tenant is ready to buy. Here's Another Alternative...Perhaps the idea
of someone else being in your house doesn't sit well with you. You're
thinking "...I'll be too far away, the house will get torn up,
payments might not get paid... I'd really just prefer my house be sold
-- closed -- before someone else moves in." Phil L Huff, III |
