Everyone wants to get the highest offer and sell as fast as possible when we go to sell a home, house or property. Did you know the condition of your property also determines the best way to sell? Are you looking to get the highest net proceeds, sell in the shortest amount of time and looking for a lower stress way to sell? Read on for options to sell your house.
My House Is Move-In Ready
Call an experienced realtor. If you are one of those homeowners who keep up with maintenance and upgrade your home every few years, then listing your home should get you the highest net offer. You will typically pay 6% commission, pay for home warranty and cover some or all closing costs. There are a multitude of buyers looking for move-in ready, updated homes and are willing to pay top dollar. However, be aware there may be other costs such as unknown days on the market DOM, reducing sale price if no offers after a number of DOM, paying two mortgages if you already bought another home, losing a bid on new home purchase due to contingency on selling current home and other costs. Unfortunately the trade off for higher net proceeds is higher stress levels especially if you also have to accommodate showings.

My House Needs A Little Touch Up
Are the touch ups minor enough for a DIY, such as painting some parts of the home, fixing a leaky faucet, pressure washing a driveway, carpet cleaning and so on? If so, then I would also suggest calling an experienced listing agent. The only difference between this scenario and the former is a little bit of time and money spent before listing. However, if you are thinking "I need to sell my house fast in Atlanta," or don’t want to deal with repairs and want to avoid costs related to unknowns then consider the next option.
My House Needs Some Repair, My House is Old or Dated
Assuming you don’t want to deal with the repairs or updating, need to sell house fast and want to net the most amount of money in your pocket, consider calling homebuyers like SageLaneGA, Offerpad, Opendoor, Zillow etc. The key is the net amount in your pocket may be higher than listing with an agent. Not all home buyers are equal, some charge you fees, are not local to your market, have higher overhead costs (and pass it on to you) and may not make it hassle free after all. SageLaneGA offers $0 closing costs, $0 commission, competitive offers and close in as little as 14 days. We suggest getting a couple offers and asking lots of questions before choosing a homebuyer.

My House Needs Major Repairs
“And I don’t want to spend time or money to hire contractors to fix it.” Your property will most likely not qualify for conventional financing, this means most buyers even if they are interested have limited means to buy your house. There are however many investors like SageLaneGA who will be happy to buy your home, you do not need to make any repairs and you still get competitive offers based on the condition of your house.
