Why Work With FL Real Estate Buyers?
At FL Real Estate Buyers, we buy homes for cash in Florida which are typically NOT sold on the regular real estate market. We work with a wide range of needs and interests including folks who want to downsize, those who’ve inherited homes, and people dealing with foreclosure.
But what it’s really all about for us is YOU, figuring out what you need and desire out of your current situation, and then helping you use the home you have to get there (if we can both benefit, this typically involves us buying your home).
Before we get into how WE work at FL Real Estate Buyers, let’s talk about how the home buying/selling landscape usually looks.
Selling Your Home in Florida
Listing with a Real Estate Agent
The first thing people usually consider is listing it with a real state agent. This is sometimes a great idea. In a hot market, the home or vacant land could sell fairly easily. Keep in mind though, it will only sell as well as it is marketed. Check your reviews on your realtor to ensure they have a A+ track record. Don’t forget to keep in mind the costs associated with updating landscaping, repairing any necessary items, and anything else that is needed to get the property ready for sale. Additionally, you will have the costs associated with settling the estate. Depending on the situation, this can run into the thousands of dollars in fees if it’s complicated. Even if you’re 100% sure you do not want to sell the property As-Is, feel free to reach out to us for our guide on selling an inherited property.
Unknown Cash Buyers
There are many things to consider when selling such a valuable asset as a piece of property. First, Google the person or company. Check to see if they are rated by the Better Business Bureau. Even some of the nationwide home buyers do not have a Better Business Bureau rating and perhaps you’d like to ask yourself why that is? If the company is a franchise, they are only as good as the franchise owner. The marketing, fancy website and brochures, are all designed by professional marketers. When it comes down to brass tacks, do you trust them?
Sell By Owner
Perhaps you’re at a point in your life that you’re totally fine taking the phone calls and handling the sale of your property. Every penny in savings counts. Stick a sign out front and vet the phone calls that come in. If you’ve been thinking about do that, give it a shot! We’d recommend running all paperwork and terms by a trusted source to ensure your best interest is taken into account. If you’d like to discuss, feel free to give us a call.
Keep It As a Rental
If you are worried about how the tenant will react, discretion is our top priority. Therefore, it is so important that you sell your property to a trusted source that puts your priorities first and ensures that the sale goes through. When you list with the real tour you run the risk of the buyer canceling the sale or trying to renegotiate terms with you. This can make a difficult situation worse because now the tenant may have leverage to cause you additional difficulties. Some of the things we’ve heard are: “Why should I continue paying rent if you’re selling the property?” Not all tenants are like this but if yours is then we can understand the seriousness and ensure that the process goes smoothly.
Here’s how we Buy Homes in Florida
Our process starts with YOU. We ultimately want to understand the goals that you have in life, so that if the opportunity is right for both of us we can create the right offer which gets you what you want.
For example, we frequently work with people who are interested in downsizing from their current home in order to live more simply and closer to family.
That’s usually a chicken and egg situation. They need to sell their home in order to have the money to buy a new home and move, but they can’t sell their home before they have a place to move to. On top of that, the folks we work with usually have extensive challenges which make selling their home difficult.
These challenges can include liens on the home, problems with the mortgage or title, extensive repairs and updates which are necessary in order to sell on the open market, etc.
So in situations like this, if we determine the home is one we can buy as part of our portfolio (which we’ll later either sell or rent), then what we do is solve the problem you need solved.
An example of this is providing up-front the cash and resources you need to find and purchase a new home, AND move, before selling your current home. (This is just an example, your situation will be unique)
As you can see though, the “offer” to buy your home comes last, because we orient towards YOU, understanding you and what you need, and helping you get that in the end.
