WVU Posted October 19, 2021 Report Share Posted October 19, 2021 Iggy, if the highest offer you get is what you think it will be, I will beat that offer myself. But it won't be. Not on the open market. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Get them to the house and get a real purchase offer contract if you want to sell. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dingo Posted October 19, 2021 Report Share Posted October 19, 2021 I am probably in the hottest market other than perhaps Joey,I been telling her ,her house is worth far more than she thinks but she refused to listen. Also told her to sell as Is in her situation because she’s gonna have to pay people to renovate,again on to deaf ears Personally , I have sold 6 house and live to regret each and everyone.

If you put 10k into cosmetic fixes before selling, you won't get that back in the sale price. List with Redfin for lower commissions. Not necessarily,if you know what you’re doing you can make lots of sweat equity. Putting in a rental suite in the house is a good way to increase the value of a home. Probably what that “investor” is gonna do What that agent is doing is not allowed here,too many “office deals” ending up being people colluding to low ball the seller Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tons of people simply renovate with their team of contractors and flip homes for profit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MonkeyF0cker Posted October 19, 2021 Report Share Posted October 19, 2021 The idea that renovating can't or won't bring more money/profit is far from the truth. If it's done right and cost effectively, it certainly can. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ERBtheGREAT Posted October 19, 2021 Report Share Posted October 19, 2021 Not trying to hijack the thread but has anyone sold a house without a realtor? I've only bought without realtor, not sold. Girlfriend is going to sell her house and move in, Townhouses in her complex sell in under 1 week. I assume you just need a lawyer to do the deed work, would seller or buyer pay for lawyer? thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it's done right and cost effectively, it certainly can. I would agree that if the kitchen and bathrooms are dated it helps to renovate those. It didn't help my bottom line too much when I had indoor painting and flooring updated prior to selling. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You need a title company and title lawyer. Generally the buyer pays lawyer fees but it’s all negotiable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
