Any Condition, Any Circumstance
No matter your situation or the condition of your house, we’ve seen it all and will buy your house fast! Learn more about our home selling solutions below.
Already Moved
It takes work to manage a vacant property and it can be risky too.
In Phoenix, professional thieves target vacant properties regularly, stealing valuable copper piping and wires or parts from AC Units, and even vandalize the property when they’re done.
When that happens you’re not only losing money but additional time is being tied up in insurance claims and paperwork. There are tons of things on a property that command your attention. When you can’t be there to keep a proper eye on it, your asset can quickly turn into a liability.
If your property sits vacant and you are looking to sell, time is of the essence.
Facing Foreclosure
If you are behind on payments and facing foreclosure, or are already in foreclosure, time is not on your side!
You have options but the longer you wait to act the closer you get to losing the house to the bank.
It can be tough to understand what to do as notices pile up and pressure builds to act.
We can help you explore your options. Including options that allow you to keep the property, or save your credit, or facilitate a sale before it’s too late.
Needs Repairs
If your property needs repairs, you may have experienced that it is much harder to sell. Sometimes it can even be impossible to find a buyer, because lenders will not approve a loan on a property that needs excessive repairs or is not to code.
Phoenix buyers can be picky because they have so many properties to choose from.
You may not have the means or the time to fix the property before putting it on the market. With lending standards as tight as they are you may be trying to market the unmarketable.
Let your fixup be our burden. We are in a position to pay cash for your property and deal with any repairs after we close and you get your money without the hassle.
Not Enough Equity
Traditionally in real estate sales, you, the seller, pay for most of the cost of the transaction. Typical closing costs can be realtor commissions for both the buyer’s and seller’s agents, title insurance, escrow fees, real estate taxes, and often even fees for the buyer’s new loan.
In most cases, these costs will be in the range of 10% or more of the negotiated selling price. In today’s economy, money is tight for everyone. With FHA buyers, an additional 3% is often demanded out of the sellers proceeds. That’s about $10,000 to $13,000 taken out of your proceeds for every $100,000 of the selling price.
Many sellers simply cannot afford to sell under these conditions. If you’ve recently financed a home purchase you most likely don’t have enough equity to cover these costs.
We can still buy your property when you have little or no equity and often mitigate or even cover the closing costs on your behalf.
Double Payments
Have you been transferred or taken a new job out of the area. Finding a place to live while waiting for your old home to sell can be expensive.
If you have spoken to a traditional listing agent then you’ll know there is no guarantee on how long it will take for your home to sell, and if it’s 30 days or 6 months your agent gets paid the same. Extended listing periods, declining markets, cost of upkeep and cost of selling all work against you. The burden of two mortgage payments, even if you can afford it, quickly adds up to money you could be using for your family and new home.
The problem with double payments is that you’re doing the right thing, but what suffers in the wake of double payments is your current home and your family.
If you’re in that situation, contact us today! We can buy your home on a quick close, likely before your next payment is due, and relieve the stress so you can put your money to better use.
Inherited Property
Are you looking to sell a property that you have inherited? You may be an “accidental property owner” who never planned on owning the real estate that is now a burden to you, especially if you inherited the mortgage along with the house.
Maybe your life is too busy to deal with that old house that Uncle Joe left you, and you just want the cash out of it quickly.
Or maybe you feel too emotionally attached to be able to deal with dozens of showings and insensitive buyers who pick everything apart.
Either way, at Valley Home Rescue, we listen to your needs and can help you in the best way possible. We may even be interested in buying furniture or vehicles along with the property. If Probate is required we can facilitate hiring a local attorney. We will help you deal with any formalities quickly and tactfully, respect your privacy, and handle the closing at your convenience so you can get your own life back to normal.
Previously Listed
Many home owners list with an agent or realtor as the first choice of trying to sell their home. What they find is that agents often don’t market the property correctly and generate very few showings.
Finding the right agent can be difficult. The truth is that a good portion of them are new to the real estate business and have only held their license for a short time. Many are inexperienced and don’t know the true values when they take on new listings. And what do they have to lose? After all, you are making the mortgage payments when it doesn’t sell and sits on the market for months and months.
Additionally, properly marketing your home for sale today is not as simple as it was a few years ago.
Our program allows us to buy your property directly and we will close on your timetable.
Rental Property
If you’ve rented your property out to tenants, you may have been lucky enough to be unaffected by the economy. However, rising unemployment, job losses and income cuts are now so wide spread that even good tenants are forced to fall behind on their rent.
Maybe you have been nice enough to try and work it out with your tenants by giving them extra time to come up with missed payments, instead of just filing for an eviction. Let’s face it – some tenants just take advantage of your good nature.
Or, you may be the victim of “professional squatters” who tricked you into letting them into the property and just aren’t paying.
We are the solution to your tenant problems. If you’re ready to move on and sell the property, don’t worry about the tenants. In most cases, we can buy your property with the tenants still in the house, and deal with any problems after the closing.
Behind On Taxes
When a home owner falls behind on paying taxes, the county treasurer places liens on the property. If the taxes remain unpaid for a certain amount of time, the county auctions off those liens to investors, who then pay the delinquent tax, recouping money the counties need.
Investors who bid on those liens purchase the rights to collect those taxes, including interest, and will take the property if the home owner cannot pay after the required time.
If you are behind on your property taxes you may be at risk of losing your home. Even if your home is paid off, in Arizona as little as $50 in back property taxes can justify a foreclosure and repossession of your home.
If you are in a position where you cannot afford to pay off those taxes selling your home may be the best option before you lose it for nothing. We can close quickly and put money in your pocket.
