Cash for Homes in Sacramento – Will I Get A Fair Price?

Every House has a story and if their walls could talk I suspect the memories would mirror the journey of generations of families as they lived the American Dream.

Passing that dream from one generation to the next requires a purchase and sale and while many decisions to sell are complicated by sentimental family holidays or gatherings as portrayed by a Norman Rockwell painting and a lifetime of memories, others are a mere progression of life moving forward leaving one chapter and opening another .

Once the decision is made to sell a house both time and money become paramount to the seller. If you need to sell your Sacramento house fast… there are local professional home buying companies who pay cash for homes in Sacramento, CA.

The world has changed, and in today’s real estate market there is literally a buyer for every sacramento house regardless of its, age, location, condition, and even price. There isn’t much mystery to it today as technology has brought the world a little closer and from any smartphone, you can begin to sell your Sacramento house fast and get cash for your house in the process without having to list your house with a real estate agent, or wait months for it to sell.

It’s true! And while they all might not line up to pay you exactly what you want, they are a lot easier to deal with than the same number of real estate agents that would line up to sell your house. Time an Money? How much of each do you have and how much of each do you want to spend because no matter what you do that is what will become the critical factor when selling a Sacramento house.

How Do Cash Buyers For Homes in Sacramento Work?

It is a pretty simple formula and if youre here you have already figured out that a quick search for “Cash for Homes in Sacramento” or “Cash Home Buyers Sacramento“. or Who Buys Houses Sacramento for Cash” is going to get you a number of results and options in google. The daunting part of the process is deciding which of the local Sacramento CA house buyers who pay cash for homes in Sacramento do you want to work with.

That is where the work comes in to play and with a little research, you can find that there are several local real estate investors out there looking to buy Sacramento Houses for cash that are reputable and will professionally handle their businesses. Here are some of the things you should look for when you’re searching for local cash home buyers (including our company, Westbrook REI, we buy Sacramento, CA houses fast).

The Process:

Whatever you do, remember that this is a starting point and whomever you talk to needs to earn your business. We are not all the same. We all have different backgrounds and even different experiences purchasing houses. What you’ll find is that there are even those that have never purchased a personal home and have no way to relate to what you are trying to accomplish. I know that sounds silly, but It’s true. And just like houses, not all companies are the same. It usually takes just one conversation and you will be able to tell who’s for real.

What are the Trade-Offs? – It’s Always about the Time and Money

The market is shifting again and even though housing prices have steadily risen in 2018, we saw a flattening at the end of the year and an increase in days on the market from what used to be an average of 45 days to what appears to be between 60 and 90 days. That is substantial, especially if you factor in your real estate holding cost and the time it takes to sell.

Like I said it’s always about the tradeoffs. Even the best real estate agents will try to list your house at the best price acceptable to you to try and sell your Sacramento House fast, because they know that once they get the listing they are not personally going to be selling your house. To them it is a numbers game and they know that a listing is worth a commission when your house sells. The dirty little secret is that they dont even have to be around when it does sell because they are going to get their 3% to 6% commission no matter what. And the seller pays every bit of that commission for both sides of the transaction.

Time and Money. Both are not in endless supply, and yet with a real estate agent you are giving them a virtual blank check to tie up both your house and your equity and you are paying for that privilege.

So What is My House Worth?

The value of your house can be debated between real estate agents, appraisers, real estate investors, banks and mortgage companies, and of course you the homeowner.  Regardless of the method used to determine its value, unless you are in agreement with the data and its application, your house isn’t going to be sold.  Right?

Everything becomes a factor, starting with days on market, the competition (other houses on the market), etc.  And no comparative market analysis of sales in your neighborhood is going to tell you what your house is worth even though that may be a good starting point. Let’s be realistic, it is not easy to get the full market value  for your home no matter how you are selling it unless you are willing to put the most money into it with repairs and upgrades. It is pretty simple math.

So what does it take to get the full market value of your house?

You need a concentrated effort and you need the BEST product to get the full market value for your house. You need time and money for updates and repairs. You also need a lot of patience  because you may have to wait 3-6+ months…

You will also need a real estate agent out there marketing your house to find you the right buyer. Remember that real estate agents charge a commission (usually between 3-6% of the sale price)… so if it takes you 6 months to sell and you have to pay a 5% commission… is that worth the wait? I guess that depends on the sales price minus the cost of repairs, concessions and commissions.

I won’t speak for all of the other Cash Home buyers in Sacramento, but at Westbrook REI, process and timeframe is very fast. We’ll evaluate your house… determine what it’s worth based on its current condition as compared if it were completely remodeled and updated… Then we’ll determine how much we’ll have to invest for those renovations. Well look at our holding cost… how long it will take us… and of course well factor in a profit for our risk in buying the house, renovating, and selling it… so we do tend to make offers that are market value minus repairs and renovations. Keep in mind we are a construction company as well and so our cost to renovate and rehab a house is substantially less than what you would pay a General Contractor. We’re the middle man removed.

So here is the real advantage, once we get a clear title from the Title Company we can close quickly (in as little as 5 days if you need us to)… so if selling your house as fast as possible with zero out of pocket expenses and NO hassle at all is more important than getting every penny out of your house, without the risk… submit your info on the form on this next page or give us a call at (209)481-7780.

We can make you a fast no-hassle offer in less than 48 hours.

Here is the truth and disclosure for my company. We won’t be offering the lowest price in town… and yet we may offer you the highest price… and you can be assured that when we make you an offer, we’ll follow through with what we say we’ll do. My name is Peter Westbrook and I am a Local Cash Home Buyer in Sacramento, CA.  I have helped hundreds of families sell their houses and get on with their lives. The process is fast and every transaction is handled by the Title Company to make sure that everything is just right.

How Much Work Do You Want To Put Into Making Your Sacramento House Sell?

As I mentioned earlier, the other and largest contributing factor for selling any home is the finished product. No matter who represents you, if you want the top of market value for your Sacramento House you’re going to need to spend a lot of money and a lot of Time. It really is that simple.

As a someone who pays Cash for Homes in Sacramento, I can defer that cost and when we make an offer we take 100% of all of the work and hassle to sell your house off of your hands. There are no timeframes, budgets, and NO contractors and real estate agents to manage. We pick a date and close and you get your check.

We handle it all.

No, we’re not listing your house like an agent does. We are not going to ask you to clean up, declutter, stage or fix anything.  Were not going to ask you to get the house ready at a moments notice to parade through all of the potential buyers that want to see it… We are not going to go back and forth through your agent with the buyers on price and terms, etc. Were NOT going to order inspections, appraisals and we are not going to ask a bank for a loan that may fall through.

Especially if your house in Sacramento needs some work.

What we are going to do is offer cash for your house. Because as professional home buyers in Sacramento we offer cash for houses in Sacramento CA.  If your house needs work, we’ll buy it as-is and we’ll pay for the repairs it needs out of our pocket after we buy it from you.
