We Buy Houses – Do YOU Know The Top 5 Ways to Sell Your House Fast in Austin Texas?

Thursday, March 26th, 2009

Think listing your home with a Realtor is the only way to sell?

Think again! With today’s glut of underpriced foreclosures on the market and house values dropping steadily, there is not only a lot of competition out there, but houses must be priced right to compete! In reality, in Austin Texas it can take many months to sell a house through a Realtor. After all, it is a “Buyer’s Market” right now.

But what if you don’t HAVE months to wait to sell your home?

  • What if your Austin Texas house needs repairs or updating to attract buyers your Realtor brings over?
  • What if, like many Americans, the mortgage is a little behind and you want to see if you can “get out from under it”…and fast!
  • What if the property was 100% financed and you owe more than it’s worth?
  • What if the house is in foreclosure, an auction date has been set, and time is running out?

The good news is that there ARE ways to sell your Austin Texas home fast, and it may be even easier than you thought!

Yes, even in today’s market it is possible to sell your home fast, though it may not be through a Realtor.

There are alternatives that many folks are just not aware of. Believe it or not, there are ways to sell your Austin house fast, without having to use a Realtor, while paying ZERO fees, commissions, buyers’ concessions, or repair costs!

When you sell your Austin Texas house to us, you’re offered at least FIVE programs to ensure your house is sold FAST, and the anxiety is gone!

  1. We can pay all cash to you. If you need us to, we can pay you all cash for your property and close quickly! How can we do this? Unlike a traditional buyer who is at the mercy of the banks trying to qualify for a loan, we’re a professional house-buying (investment) company, which means we have the ready funds to quickly buy your Austin Texas house ALL CASH. There is no waiting and wondering like there would be with a traditional buyer who needs to get qualified for a loan, cancel their existing lease, etc, etc.

    Plus, we buy properties AS-IS, meaning even if it needs repairs (big or small) or updating, we don’t care! We buy houses in any condition, and we won’t try to make you pay us extra at closing toward repair costs, like you would with a traditional sale of a less-than-perfect home. What a hassle!

    And we buy Austin houses FAST! If you simply can’t, or don’t want to, make another mortgage payment, we can close in as little as 24 hours! No more waiting and worrying when, or if, your house will sell! We can make you an offer immediately, and we close when we say we’re going to close, which is often lightning fast!

  2. We can take over your payments. We can buy your house in Austin Texas by making the payments going forward and give you cash to move into a new place. We pay for any fix-up costs if needed and if payments are behind, we are responsible for catching up the payments to save your credit and relieve your anxiety.
  3. We can buy your house for less than you owe (if you have little to no equity)! We do this by negotiating the mortgage balance with your lender on your behalf. If you wouldn’t be able to sell your house with a real estate agent without having to write a big, fat check at the closing, then this is likely your solution. We have an experienced team of negotiators who KNOW how to deal with tough banks! We know exactly what lenders are looking for!
  4. We can help you with a house swap! If you want to buy another house, but you can’t until you’ve sold your house, we can help you with a “house swap.” Not only can we buy your house, but we’ll help move you into a new one that you like.
  5. We can repair or update your Austin Texas house to sell it fast! And you get the satisfaction of knowing your house sold in great condition at a higher price.

Luxury Dog Houses – Should I Buy One?

Saturday, March 21st, 2009

Unfortunately, there are quite a few Dog owners that keep their Dog in their home all day long and others who prefer that their Dog Brave the elements 24/7 in a Kennel (or chain link Fence) in their yard. Some justify a garage, shed, and or (believe it, or not) a 1×2x2 travel Kennel as suitable living quarters.

Then there are those owners that consider their Pooch part of their family. Not only do they love their Dogs, they favor them more then most people they know. It is for this reason that they would go to ANY lengths to make their per comfortable.

Let’s face it: When we are Hot, Cold, or Wet outside,our Dogs are too. People who have a strong attachment to their Dog,would find it quite difficult to argue against anything but the best living quarters for their pet!

Our Dog Houses are second to none in durability, aesthetics, functionality and comfort. They are the standard of which all Dog Houses should be built. They can provide all the comforts of home at a “respectable” price, and they will be the last Dog House our customers will ever buy.

Dog Houses can be built with virtually ANY amenity that you can find in your home. They truly can just as durable, eastheticly appealing and be the last dog house you will ever have to purchase.

If you don’t have a strong attachment to your pet, you will not be interested in this product. However, if your pet is considered part of your family and you want nothing but the best for it, then you probably will. For this group of individuals I highly recommend visiting our web site at http://www.jimboshoundhouses.com.

How I Could Sell My House FAST in Austin Texas, even in this Poor Housing Market!

Sunday, March 8th, 2009

We all know it’s bad out there…With the severe credit crisis and the declining housing market, Fox, CNN, MSNBC, and even the President remind us of our struggles daily. Home foreclosures are at an all time high, even in my neighborhood in Austin Texas with many more foreclosures predicted to come. Housing resale values are at all time lows with no end in sight. Even the banks are going bankrupt as many Americans no longer qualify for credit.

Because of the recent credit crisis, many people don’t qualify for a new loan to buy a house right now, despite the incredibly low housing prices. Many home sellers can’t sell their unwanted houses because they owe more than their house is worth due to falling house prices. Many sellers can’t even rent their houses out for enough to cover their mortgage payments, taxes and insurance resulting in severe negative cash flow that bleeds then dry month after month. To make matters worse, many tenants end up trashing the house when they move out making it even more difficult and expensive to sell.

If they list their house with a real estate agent, their house will likely sit on the market for a long, long time waiting to sell since the buyers seem to have magically disappeared. Even if the house does finally sell one day at a greatly REDUCED price to get it sold, the owner has to pay a 6% real estate commission plus the majority of the closing costs. This often results in the seller writing a big, fat check at the closing table to finally get their house sold.

So what are my options to sell my house in Austin Texas fast in this depressed economy and housing market when many folks can’t get a loan? By trial and error, I discovered the following 3 alternatives to try to sell my Austin TX home quickly…

1. I tried to sell my house in Austin “For Sale by Owner” aka “FSBO”.

At first, selling my house by myself sounded easy enough, but it soon became my worst nightmare! What went wrong:

  • At first I didn’t know how to attract buyers that might be interested in purchasing a home in Buford Georgia…The For Sale By Owner sign in the yard wasn’t working.
  • I ended up spending a fortune placing classifieds in the local paper which resulted in few potential buyers.
  • Those that did respond wanted to see my house at all different hours of the day or night. I was afraid to say no in fear of losing a potential buyer.
  • I would have to keep my house clean and all picked up, only to have them flake out and not show up!
  • Other times I had some pretty scary people show up with their rowdy kids in tow, trampling through my home.

I never did find my ideal buyer. Even if I did, I had no idea how to get them qualified, how to handle all the purchase and sale paperwork or how to get the house closed. I said “There has to be a better way to sell my home!” and I was determined to find it.

2. I listed my house for sale with a local Austin real estate agent.

I called an agent from a local, seemingly reputable, real estate agency and made an appointment for her to come out and see the property. The agent sounded like she really knew what she was talking about and got me really excited about the prospect of selling my home quickly. She said she would list my house in the MLS, on dozens of real estate sites throughout Texas, advertise my house in the local paper and other print publications, do multiple open houses, put out signs, balloons, flyers in an information box and went on and on about how she could sell my home and still get top dollar. How could I refuse? I didn’t.

I listed my house and waited, and waited and waited. The agent put the house on the MLS, but the market was pretty tough and, despite her best efforts, six months later, I still didn’t have a buyer. Meanwhile, my house had not only decreased in value because it would not sell for the list price, which had been reduced repeatedly, but also because of all the other listed houses and foreclosures on the market in my area of Austin. At this point, I was all out of ideas and praying for a solution. About that time, someone at my church told me about RedBuysHouses.com.

3. I contacted a local, professional home buyer from Austin, Texas.

My friend from church told me that she had similar problems selling her Austin house, but that she had contacted a local professional home buyer who bought her house in under a week! What? Is this possible? Could I sell my Austin Texas house in 7 days or less, too? She said there are professional house buyers out there, also known as “real estate investors”, who buy and sell real estate for investment purposes. You’ve probably seen their “We Buy Houses” advertisements around town but never gave them much thought. These are people who buy houses professionally and are always actively looking for more houses to buy. She gave me their phone number and web address (Locally 512-945-6006, website: www.RedBuysHouses.com) and I contacted them ASAP. A local Austin home buyer from there called me and said that if my house qualified and if I was flexible on price or terms, that they may be able to buy my house in the next 7 days or less. She said depending on my situation that they may be able to pay all cash, pay some cash now and some cash later or take over my mortgage payments giving me immediate debt relief. At this point I was definitely flexible and had nothing to lose by scheduling an appointment for them to come see my home and possibly allow me to sell my Austin Texas house fast!

So I scheduled the appointment with the Austin home buyer and she came out and inspected my home. She said it was just what they were looking for and that she had several buyers looking for a similar home. I was ecstatic! She made me several offers to buy my house as promised. I chose the offer that best suited my needs and we scheduled a closing the following week with a local real estate closing attorney. It was that fast and that simple to finally sell my house in Austin! I still can’t get over it. After waiting two years trying to sell my house on my own and through a licensed agent, I was able to sell my house in less than 7 days to a local professional home buying company!

If you have an unwanted Austin Texas house you need to sell fast, call 512-945-6006 or visit www.RedBuysHouses.com and complete their online Seller Questionnaire for a FREE, no obligation consultation. You have nothing to lose by contacting them and everything to gain. I was able to sell my Austin home fast and you can too!

A Garden Office is the Ideal Homeworking or Home Improvement Product

Friday, March 6th, 2009

A recent survey shows that an increasing number of professionals are using home based offices. This is because a home based office not only allows one to save time in commuting but at the same time enables one to reduce work hours as well; thus getting to spend more time with the family. However, home based offices come with some innate problems like lack of living space as well as privacy. For professionals facing such a dilemma, therefore a garden office is the best solution.

In recent times, many employers too prefer professionals who work from home as they not only show improved productivity but at the same time allow the company to save on the cost of infrastructure. However, what worries the employer is the lack of peaceful ambience in an employee’s home that would let him complete his work peacefully. Garden lodges products are designed mainly to be used as garden offices and are the best solution in such a case. After conducting a careful detailed site survey of your garden, you can choose a garden office that will best suit your needs. When you are working from home there are many options.

Most importantly you can have the much-needed privacy that a garden studio offers for carrying out your work more effectively and efficiently.

The best thing about a garden studio is that it combines functionality with aesthetics. If you do design your garden appropriately you can create an office that not only has convenient electrics and lighting but will also provide you with a professional environment.
