subject: How to Sell Your Home Fast for Market Value Without Commissions or Fees in Gwinnett County, GA [print this page] With all of the foreclosures and short sales saturating our subdivisions, selling a home in this market and receiving the equity left in your home can be challenging. If you have a nice home, in a desirable neighborhood, without any needed repairs, getting market value will require more than just listing it with a realtor. In 2008, I was left with 6 houses that would not sell. I had 3 homes in Buford, GA, 1 in Dacula, GA, 1 in Hoschton, GA, and 1 in Flowery Branch, GA. For 6 months, I did everything possible including auctions, open houses, giveaways, sweepstakes, and everything else you may imagine. My competition were the foreclosures and short sales that were always cheaper than I could sell my houses.
As you may agree, the market will and usually does create a solution. That solution was Lease to Sell. I've been using this method along with Owner Financing to sell all of my homes ever since and getting market value without fees, closing cost, or seller concessions.
This is not a knock on real estate agents. The problem is many homeowners just do not have the equity left in the home once the commissions, closing cost, seller concessions, holding cost, and repair cost are deducted from the final sales price. The sale of a home will typically require 15% in fees and cost. That's $30,000 in cost for a $200, 000 home.
As long as you are willing to wait a few months and market your home in a different way, you can sell your home faster and for more money. By selling on a Lease to Sell and Owner Financing, you can receive market value, sell with no closing cost, no commissions or fees, sell "as is", and no seller concessions.
The only reason people sell their house is to get something out of it, whether it's equity for a new home, debt relief, or whatever, there is a result that you are aiming for and selling with Lease to Sell maybe the best choice in this market.
