We all know it’s bad out there…With the severe credit crisis and the declining housing market, Fox, CNN, MSNBC, and even the President remind us of our struggles daily. Home foreclosures are at an all time high, even in my neighborhood in Austin Texas with many more foreclosures predicted to come. Housing resale values are at all time lows with no end in sight. Even the banks are going bankrupt as many Americans no longer qualify for credit.

Because of the recent credit crisis, many people don’t qualify for a new loan to buy a house right now, despite the incredibly low housing prices. Many home sellers can’t sell their unwanted houses because they owe more than their house is worth due to falling house prices. Many sellers can’t even rent their houses out for enough to cover their mortgage payments, taxes and insurance resulting in severe negative cash flow that bleeds then dry month after month. To make matters worse, many tenants end up trashing the house when they move out making it even more difficult and expensive to sell.

If they list their house with a real estate agent, their house will likely sit on the market for a long, long time waiting to sell since the buyers seem to have magically disappeared. Even if the house does finally sell one day at a greatly REDUCED price to get it sold, the owner has to pay a 6% real estate commission plus the majority of the closing costs. This often results in the seller writing a big, fat check at the closing table to finally get their house sold.

So what are my options to sell my house in Austin Texas fast in this depressed economy and housing market when many folks can’t get a loan? By trial and error, I discovered the following 3 alternatives to try to sell my Austin TX home quickly…

1. I tried to sell my house in Austin “For Sale by Owner” aka “FSBO”.

At first, selling my house by myself sounded easy enough, but it soon became my worst nightmare! What went wrong:

At first I didn’t know how to attract buyers that might be interested in purchasing a home in Buford Georgia…The For Sale By Owner sign in the yard wasn’t working. I ended up spending a fortune placing classifieds in the local paper which resulted in few potential buyers. Those that did respond wanted to see my house at all different hours of the day or night. I was afraid to say no in fear of losing a potential buyer. I would have to keep my house clean and all picked up, only to have them flake out and not show up! Other times I had some pretty scary people show up with their rowdy kids in tow, trampling through my home.



I never did find my ideal buyer. Even if I did, I had no idea how to get them qualified, how to handle all the purchase and sale paperwork or how to get the house closed. I said “There has to be a better way to sell my home!” and I was determined to find it.

2. I listed my house for sale with a local Austin real estate agent.

I called an agent from a local, seemingly reputable, real estate agency and made an appointment for her to come out and see the property. The agent sounded like she really knew what she was talking about and got me really excited about the prospect of selling my home quickly. She said she would list my house in the MLS, on dozens of real estate sites throughout Texas, advertise my house in the local paper and other print publications, do multiple open houses, put out signs, balloons, flyers in an information box and went on and on about how she could sell my home and still get top dollar. How could I refuse? I didn’t.

I listed my house and waited, and waited and waited. The agent put the house on the MLS, but the market was pretty tough and, despite her best efforts, six months later, I still didn’t have a buyer. Meanwhile, my house had not only decreased in value because it would not sell for the list price, which had been reduced repeatedly, but also because of all the other listed houses and foreclosures on the market in my area of Austin. At this point, I was all out of ideas and praying for a solution. About that time, someone at my church told me about RedBuysHouses.com.

3. I contacted a local, professional home buyer from Austin, Texas.

My friend from church told me that she had similar problems selling her Austin house, but that she had contacted a local professional home buyer who bought her house in under a week! What? Is this possible? Could I sell my Austin Texas house in 7 days or less, too? She said there are professional house buyers out there, also known as “real estate investors”, who buy and sell real estate for investment purposes. You’ve probably seen their “We Buy Houses” advertisements around town but never gave them much thought. These are people who buy houses professionally and are always actively looking for more houses to buy. She gave me their phone number and web address (Locally 512-945-6006, website: www.RedBuysHouses.com) and I contacted them ASAP. A local Austin home buyer from there called me and said that if my house qualified and if I was flexible on price or terms, that they may be able to buy my house in the next 7 days or less. She said depending on my situation that they may be able to pay all cash, pay some cash now and some cash later or take over my mortgage payments giving me immediate debt relief. At this point I was definitely flexible and had nothing to lose by scheduling an appointment for them to come see my home and possibly allow me to sell my Austin Texas house fast!

So I scheduled the appointment with the Austin home buyer and she came out and inspected my home. She said it was just what they were looking for and that she had several buyers looking for a similar home. I was ecstatic! She made me several offers to buy my house as promised. I chose the offer that best suited my needs and we scheduled a closing the following week with a local real estate closing attorney. It was that fast and that simple to finally sell my house in Austin! I still can’t get over it. After waiting two years trying to sell my house on my own and through a licensed agent, I was able to sell my house in less than 7 days to a local professional home buying company!

If you have an unwanted Austin Texas house you need to sell fast, call 512-945-6006 or visit www.RedBuysHouses.com and complete their online Seller Questionnaire for a FREE, no obligation consultation. You have nothing to lose by contacting them and everything to gain. I was able to sell my Austin home fast and you can too!

Presumably you have come across this article as a result of you desperately searching the internet for information on whether you can prevent yourself from being repossessed or not. You may be expecting nothing but negativity and rejection from anyone you try to talk to in an attempt to sort yourself out. It’s very easy for you to feel pretty low when your creditors are making threatening demands to you and giving you the impression that it is all your fault and you will get what is coming to you.

However, it is not all doom and gloom! If nothing else, I am on your side. I personally feel that if anyone is to blame it is the creditors lending irresponsibly to those who simply cannot afford the payments. They don’t care if you get into debt – they make money from you in the way of interest and late payment charges. Add on to that the (unlawful) charges made by banks as a result of you having insufficient funds in your account when direct debits fail to come out and on top of the original debt, you can end up in a right old mess in a very short space of time!

It’s a crazy system which goes out of its way to hinder the desperate efforts of those who cannot afford payments in the first place by whacking on a load more debt on top of the original debt as a ‘punishment’ for not having the cash to pay the bill in the first place. What they do not care about is the fact that they assessed you in the first place and lent you the money not caring in the slightest whether you could or could not afford to make the payments back! It’s a win-win situation for the creditors really! They cannot loose. In fact, the last thing they want you to do is pay the balance of your credit cards every month, paying no interest to them. The way I see it, they WANT you to get into debt!

In a situation like this, its not only your liquid assets which can become swallowed up, it could be your home too. The main reason I wrote this article is to let you know that that doesn’t necessarily have to be the case. If you have equity in your property, you can sell it and pay the debts off right?

Good idea in practice, you may be thinking, but it takes months at least to sell a property in today’s market, my bankruptcy hearing is next week and even if a miracle was to happen and I could sell my house that fast, I would still be left homeless! – Not always the case, please read on…

There are companies out there who can and WILL help you out of this mess, you CAN recover from this. Let me lay your concerns to rest one by one;

1. It does not take these companies months to purchase your property, when they say a fast sale, they mean a fast sale! Typically, they complete within 28 days but many, including my own, can push a sale through to complete within as little as 1 week. So no, it doesn’t have to take months to sell your property.

2. If your bankruptcy hearing is next week, or even in a day or 2, it is still well worth contacting a company such as this, as they can halt your repossession hearing by confirming that they are to purchase your property from you, which will enable you to pay your debts off and avoid repossession.

3. Most companies will generally offer you the chance to rent back your property from them, so you will not have to leave your home, although this is not obligatory. Some then offer a chance to buy the property back at a set price at some point in the future.

Be aware though, some companies are only out for what they can get from you. There have been reports lately that some companies have purchased properties and rented them back to people, only to end their tenancy almost immediately. This is not fair, and it’s not right. A decent company will only make an offer if they think it is in your best interests as well as being a good deal for them. Any which leave you high and dry are to be avoided like the plague! Ideally, you should be left in a position where you can repay your debts and either break even or have a little cash left over to spare. Obviously, this all depends on how much debt you have and how much equity you have in the property, but ultimately, you should come out of the other side in a better position than you were previously!

A good company such as my own also have Independent Financial Advisors on board to go through the other options available to you, should a fast sale or sell and rent back not be an option due to lack of equity, so in my opinion it has got to be worth a try. Being declared Bankrupt can seriously hinder your attempts to get a mortgage, or even a bank account in the future. Being repossessed is not a nice experience, and it’s such a shame that so many people are evicted from their homes due to debt problems simply because they didn’t try, or didn’t know about fast property buying companies such as these. Im not saying they are for everybody, but this is a suitable solution for a large majority of people in situations such as these and I think it really helps to have someone not only on your side, but also fighting your battles for you!

Although I can’t speak for every company, my own doesn’t charge any fees for their service, and they also pay up to £500 of your solicitor’s fees for you. This helps those in financial difficulty and is a great alternative to paying out thousands of pounds in estate agents fees to get a slow sale of your property instead!

No matter how imminent your eviction is, I would highly recommend giving this option a go, you literally have nothing to loose. If you don’t like what you hear, you can always say ‘No thanks’! You may be pleasantly surprised to hear a friendly, non judgemental and calming voice on the end of the line offering to help you, as opposed to the horrible green ogre that is the bailiff!

Repossession

Nowadays many people are constrained to take out a loan in order to buy a house. The high prices of houses force the majority of people, especially young people, to use credit cards or loans in order to have a home of their own. This is not necessarily a bad thing, but there are some strings attached to taking out a loan. Repossession is the biggest problem you can face when taking out a loan. However, there are ways through which you can avoid repossession and one of the most advantageous is to sell your real estate property to cash property buyers. 

A bank can offer me a considerable amount of money to buy the house of my dreams, but it can also take my home away if I am late with my monthly payments. When I take a loan to buy a house, the bank owns the house until the entire loan is paid. If I am late with my monthly payments to the bank or if I have some financial problems and I can not pay my liabilities when they have to be paid, the bank can repossess my house. Repossession is not automatic so the lender must inform me in advance about the amount I owe and about the ways of settlement. However, in most cases people can not give back the amount of money the bank is asking for so they face repossession. It is not enough to want to repay what you owe; you must also have the amount of money necessary to repay your debt.

If the bank informs me that I face repossession and I must repay what I owe, then there is no better way to keep my home than to sell my property to a quick sale agent. By doing so, I can still live in my home, I can repay the loan I made and, in time, I can buy the house back from the investors. This method is very common and very advantageous for people who have financial problems. A quick sale investor can buy my house for cash, which I can then use to repay my loan to the bank. Once I am sure I do not face repossession, I can become more organized, manage my money better and in time I can buy the house back from the investor. The biggest advantage I have when using such a method is that when I sell my property to a cash property buyer, I retain the right to rent my home and even buy it whenever I want.

Avoiding repossession requires a considerable amount of money that I may not have. Instead of taking out yet another loan to repay the preexisting one, I can use the help of an investor who can buy my house for cash. This way I can repay my loan, avoid eviction, pay a monthly rent that is lower than the other monthly payments I had to the bank and in time I can even buy back my house. Given these facts, selling my property is the best solution I have and the most advantageous one.
