How To Sell A House Fast (In 5 Easy Steps)

5 Easy Steps to get your house sold

Selling your house can be a daunting task, especially when you need it sold fast. By selling your house for cash, you can drastically speed things up. This guide will walk you through the entire process of selling your house for cash to a cash home buyer from start to finish.

Here’s What You’ll Need:

  • Internet access OR a phone
  • email address is nice but NOT necessary 

What Is A Cash Home Buyer?

A cash home buyer is any person, company or entity (usually a real estate investor), capable of buying your house in cash without the need for financial support from banks, lenders or other 3rd party financial institutions. As the purchaser is providing their own money, they are the final decision makers thus eliminating the need for approvals or inspections from 3rd party institutions. This drastically speeds up the transaction. Here are 5 easy steps to get your house in OH sold fast!

1. Find A House Cash Buyer

The most common method for finding cash home buyers is by doing a Google search for: “We Buy Houses [yourCity] [yourState]“, “Sell My House Fast [yourCity] [yourState], or “Cash For My House In [yourCity] [yourState], and choosing the top ranking results underneath the ads. The ad results often are not reliable or reputable as people simply pay to be on top. They are not on top because they are reputable.(Ads can be recognized by the letters “Ad” preceding the Google listing).

2. Do Your Due Diligence

Not all cash home buyers are the same. The offer amount and thus the method used to arrive at your offer often differ significantly. For this reason, you should go over their website, visit their “How It Works” page, their “About Us” and/or “Our Company” Page, and make sure there have credible reviews from actual people that sold their house to them. What you are looking for is transparency, a neat, clean and professional polished website, clear explanations, and professionalism. The website is a direct reflection on them and their business. If a business owner doesn’t take pride in their website they don’t take pride in their business and may not be the wisest choice to do business with.

3. Submit Your Information

Once you’ve a found a reputable house buyer, it is time to get your cash offer started by submitting your information. The information needed from you is 1) a reliable way to contact you (usually a phone number or email address), 2) the address and 3) some details on the current condition of the house and what repairs it needs, if any.

4. Schedule Your Appointment

Once the information is received, an appointment can be scheduled where you can meet the buyer, and walk through the property together. You can ask them any questions you may have and by the end of the walk-through your offer is presented and discussed. There should never be any costs associated for these services and the offer is a no obligation to accept offer. Most reputable property buyers understand that this is a critical time in your life and you have a big decision to make so more often than not, they would respect the need to think it over and you should have a cash offer friendly attorney look over the contract.

5. Schedule Your Closing Date...Get Your Cash!

If the offer presented is to your satisfaction, you can set a date for closing. During closing you will get the cash and that’s it. You sold your house for cash to a cash buyer successfully! Usually it is the cash buyer that will pay for all closing costs, making sure the transaction is as attractive as possible for you, the seller.

And That Sums It Up!

How We Make Our Offers To Buy Your OH Home

It’s In Our Best Interest To Give You Our Highest Possible Offer.

“We Buy Houses In Ohio” stays in business by getting offers accepted, and the only way to do that is to give offers you’ll be happy with! We truly do our best to give you the highest possible offer we can give

Our Offers Are Based On Your Home’s “After Repair Market Value”!

This simply means, we look at what the value of your home would be, completely fixed up. Based on this value we will formulate your offer!

How Exactly?

Well, imagine you have a house that you want to sell…

Now, also imagine your neighbor, has the exact same, identical house as yours, except for a few upgrades he made… say, he added granite counter tops, removed wallpaper, applied a fresh coat of paint, put a new roof on, and put hardwood floors in.

Now Imagine he sold his house for $200K.

What Do We Know Now?

Well, we know that If we make the same upgrades to your house (AFTER we buy it from you, of course), bringing the house to a very similar condition as your neighbor’s house, we would also be able to sell it for $200K.

So,

We know the Market value of your house if we fixed it up (in this case $200K), and we know the cost of repairs/upgrades. We can now make an offer that works for us. If this offer also works for you, great we then finalize it and you get your money at closing! As you can see, we make offers based on the market numbers, not based on how desperate you may or may not be to sell. 

The Offer:

All you math lovers out there will appreciate this section. We value honesty and transparency. We have no issues sharing with you how exactly we formulate our offers.

[Your Offer] = [After Repair Value] – [Cost Of Repairs] – [Our Selling Costs] – [Our Minimum Profit]

But in order for you to understand this we need to define some terms.

After Repair Value (ARV): This is what the market value of your house will be AFTER we buy and renovate the house. Yup we are just like your favorite HGTV flipping show.

Cost Of Repairs (COR): This is what our cost will be fixing/updating the house AFTER we purchase it from you.

Our Selling Costs: Although we buy houses without involving agents, we on the other hand, have to use an agent to sell that house again AFTER we have purchased it from you and fixed it up. So we have to pay agent fees, closing costs, taxes, holding costs etc. These are all the fees you do NOT have to pay, if you sell your house directly to us ;). This is usually 10% all together of selling price. (Our Selling Cost = 10% x ARV)

Our Minimum Profit: Yes, this IS a business after all, and we wouldn’t be able to stay in business, buy more houses, pay contractors, plumbers etc, if we didn’t make some sort of profit. However, we keep this to an absolute minimum so we can present you with the highest possible offer. See, our business model is structured around making many deals with a little profit per deal, and not a few deals with a huge profit per deal. This benefits all.

English, Please!!

So what does this formula mean in plain English? Simply this:

The market value of the house (after we fix it up), minus ALL our costs fixing it up (including our profits), will be the offer. How simple is THAT! Congrats, now you are an expert at this! But we want to be sure you understand it?

Let’s take an actual property we recently bought and share with you how it happened.

Let’s say this is your house in its current condition:

This could use some work. Hey, sometimes people run out of $ or motivation to finish a project…

Now remember, your neighbor with the exact same house as yours? He's got a new roof, updated the kitchen and bathrooms, put granite in, removed carpets and put in hardwood flooring? Well, this is what his house looks like after he did the changes:

room after renovation

Well, no wonder he sold it for $200K, it is gorgeous!

In order for us to also be able to sell your house afterwards for $200K, we need to bring your house to the same condition as the house of your neighbor, or better, so that we can also sell it for $200K!

Why?

Because we will not be able to sell the house in this current state for $200K when all the other houses that are currently for sale in your area look as gorgeous as your neighbor’s. Would you, as a buyer, be interested in buying a house in lesser condition for $200K when a much nicer house sells for the same price? No, of course not!

So an obvious next question you’d ask, would be:

OK, if the house, after it is completely fixed and updated, would sell for $200K, for how much would it sell as is?

Sell My House In OH For Cash Or Should I List It As-Is?

Let’s say you contacted an agent and she/he says, that your house as-is, in its current condition is worth $125K. Then you contacted the most awesome, friendly, amazing, highest ranking house buyers in all of Ohio…that’s US!

We would come in, with our contractor and if we can, our agent. (We bring our contractor and our agent to the walkthrough, so that our agent tells our contractor what needs to be fixed (as he/she knows what buyers are currently looking for) and what does not need to be fixed (to save on the cost of repairs)).

Our agent: tells us, that we need granite countertops, because the neighbor across the fence that sold his house for $200K, also has granite, as well as hardwood floors, removing wallpaper, installing new appliances etc.

Our contractor: gives us an accurate COR (Cost Of Repairs).  See, we know exactly what we will do to the house the second we are done with the walk-through and we have already completed the flip in our imagination and we know exactly what all the numbers will look like.

before and after home renovation interior

The more accurate these numbers, the more accurate (and the higher) your offer will be! Let’s say our contractor gives us a cost of repairs of $46K.

 

Now We Are Ready To Make You An offer!
Here are the numbers:

As-Is Value = $125K

ARV (After Repair Value) = $200K

COR (Cost Of Repairs) = $46K

Our Selling Cost = 10% x $200K = $20K 

Let’s say Our Minimum Profit For This Purchase = $25K

[Your Offer] =  [ARV] – [COR] – [Our Selling Costs] – [Our Minimum Profit]

Your Offer = $200K – $46K – $20K – $25K = $109K

Your Offer = $109K

Analyzing The Offer

So, the house is worth $125K as-is,  meaning if you listed it with an agent you could sell it for $125K. Yet after 6% agent fees and closing costs you would probably get about $116K for it, after it being on the market for 4? 5? or more months! And no one can guarantee the house will actually sell.

So now you have to make a decision.

Sell it for a guaranteed sale for $109K in as little as 10-20 days, or a “maybe sale” for $116K hopefully within 4 to 5 months.

~Decisions… decisions..

BUT WAIT!!!

What If The Cost Of Repairs Were $20K Instead Of $46K?

Now things get interesting! Now the offer becomes:

As-Is Value = $125K

ARV (After Repair Value) = $200K

COR (Cost Of Repairs) = $20K

Our Selling Cost = 10% x $200K = $20K 

Let’s say Our Minimum Profit For This Purchase = $25K

[Your Offer] = [After Repair Value] – [Cost Of Repairs] – [Our Selling Costs] – [Our Minimum Profit]

Your Offer (135k) = $200K – $20K -$20K – $25K 

Yup! That is $10,000 MORE than what the house is currently worth, and almost $20K more than what you would get if you had listed it with an agent (remember that you would only get $116K after all listing and agent fees).  Again, our offers are based on the numbers, not on how desperate you are to sell.

Why Our Offers Are Better.

Yes, we know, we know, everyone says this but we will do better. We will show you why this is true, or at least we try to make this true 😉

See, the reason our offers are so fantastic, is because our offers are based on the value of your house as if it were completely fixed up and updated. Yes, we figure out how much your house would be worth if it was completely updated.  Then we factor in the cost it would take to fix or update your home.

Secondly,

You see, here is where the cost of repairs comes in. If we can keep the cost of repairs down, we can obviously give you more cash for your OH house, as previously explained using our equation above.

So,… we try to do as much work ourselves so that we do not have to pay expensive contractors to do everything. Well, isn’t that nice of us!

Obviously, we can not always do this as we buy sooooooo many houses at a time, but we can genuinely try to keep contractor numbers as low as possible so we can get you the highest number for your house in cash here in Ohio.

Why do we go out of our way to give you the highest possible offer?

Well, think about it! If we can give you more than our competitors can, you will sell to us. And that is what we want. 

For this exact house, the seller accepted our offer. They needed to sell fast, didn’t want to deal with agents, and they wanted the least amount of hassle. The review below is genuine!

Here Are A Few Questions We Keep Getting:

How Do You Sell A House By Owner (FSBO)?

Selling your house yourself is can be done. It takes a lot of work and research but it is absolutely possible.

  • First things first, you need an excellent understanding of your market.
  • Research how much the house is worth as-is. Do not value your house based on how much you like it!  
  • Sellers often think their house is worth more because “it is prettier than my neighbors”.
  • Pay a flat fee to list the property on the MLS.
  • Research how to effectively market the property.
  • Learn how to negotiate effectively (to maximize your selling price)
  • Hold open houses and learn how to handle the tough questions asked during the open house.
  • Make sure you know all your laws in your area pertaining to real estate transactions!

Are There Closing Costs When Selling By Owner?

Yes, there will be costs associated if you sell your house yourself.  Attorney fees, closing costs, holding costs, title insurance, escrow costs and more.  Given  that you are selling it yourself however there will not be any agent fees. The other costs however need to be factored in.
