How to prepare for selling your house
With over 25 years of experience in buying homes, we know what it takes to sell your house. We’ve curated articles and resources to help guide you through your property sale. With the right information, selling your house fast can be easy.
Determine whether it’s the right time to sell.
There are several factors to consider and some important questions to ask yourself. What’s the current market like? Do changing circumstances mean your house doesn’t fit your lifestyle? Can you no longer afford the mortgage or the upkeep?
Figure out how much your house is worth.
It’s important to do some research to find out how much houses are selling for in your neighborhood. Be sure to compare your house to ones that are as similar to yours as possible. You can also get a free, no-obligation cash offer from We Buy Ugly Houses® to see what your house could sell for.
Decide how to sell your house.
There are three main ways to sell your house. You can go the traditional route and list it with a real estate agent, or you can sell it yourself, which is a process called for sale by owner (FSBO). The third option is to sell to a cash home buyer like We Buy Ugly Houses.
Prepare your house for sale.
Check your house for areas that may need improvements or repairs. Decide what renovations or changes you want to make, and which ones fit your budget. If certain repairs or updates are too costly or time-consuming, consider selling your house “as is” to We Buy Ugly Houses.
