DREADING THE THOUGHT OF SELLING A DILAPIDATED HOUSE?

YOU WON’T BELIEVE HOW EASY IT CAN BE!

First things first, take a deep breath and repeat after me: “I will not spend my weekends cleaning up someone else’s mess.”  Got it? Good!  Now let’s dive into some strategies to make this whole house selling process a breeze.

1. Do you have one day to de-clutter or clean as much as possible? Start by removing any old food and clear a walking path if possible.  No time at all?  No problem, keep going on our suggestion list!
2. Embrace the imperfections. Your house may not be a showstopper, but that doesn’t mean it’s not a diamond in the rough.  Highlight the potential; focus on the positives.  Okay, maybe it’s just location, but that still matters to direct home buyers in and around Calgary.  Play up any and all features, while playing down the flaws.
3. Find the right buyer. Not everyone is looking for a move-in-ready dream home.  There are real buyers out there who love a good project and are willing to overlook a few cosmetic issues.  These buyers are more likely to be able to see past a bit of dirt and mess, to the potential underneath.
4. Sell As-Is. Whether working with a real estate agent, or selling to a professional home buying company, make it crystal clear that the house is being sold “As Is.”  That’s real estate lingo for
   1. No Cleaning
   2. No Repairs
   3. No promises about the condition of the house underneath the stuff
   4. No additional expenses for you as the seller!
   5. Sometimes sellers can add another sentence into the purchase contract to allow them to leave furniture, garbage and other “stuff” behind for the buyer to deal with.

When a home seller wants to streamline the entire process, letting the buyer know exactly what they’re getting into can be a godsend!

• No haggling over every line in an inspection report
• No dealing with banks that won’t finance a house full of asbestos, or aluminum wiring, or Poly-B, or any of the other things that banks and insurance companies run away from these days
• No need to collect quotes and/or fix that laundry list of items yourself

So put down the mop and the toolbox!  Selling that fixer-upper doesn’t have to be a nightmare.

But wait, there’s more!  Haha, don’t worry, we’re not a late-night infomercial.
