At Mike Buys Houses, our goal is to make selling your house to us a simple, straightforward process that puts you in control. While working with professional home buyers does look different than a traditional real estate sale, it can be an ideal solution for those looking for a fast, flexible, and hassle-free way to sell. To ensure everything goes smoothly, here are 5 tips to keep in mind:
- Provide Open Access for Viewing. Since we'll be purchasing your house based on its current condition, we need to get an accurate sense of what repairs or updates may be needed. Plan to provide open access for our team to thoroughly view and evaluate the property - both the interior and exterior. This will allow us to make you the best possible cash offer.
- Have Utilities Active. Leaving the utilities (electricity, gas, water) active during the sale process is very helpful. It allows us to do a comprehensive inspection and ensure everything is functioning properly before finalizing the deal. Don't worry, we'll take care of transferring utilities out of your name after closing.
- Disclose Any Known Issues. While you don't need to repair anything before selling to us, we do ask that you disclose any significant known issues like mold, structural problems, or code violations. This allows us to adjust our offer price accordingly if needed. Surprises after closing can create hassles we'd like to avoid!
- Prepare for a Fast Closing Timeline. One key advantage of working with Mike Buys Homes is our ability to close quickly - in as little as 2 days if that works for your schedule. Have a plan for moving out all belongings and being fully vacated by the closing date we agree upon. We can't have any delays once the process is underway.
- Don't Worry About Repairs or Cleaning. Finally, remember that you don't need to spend any money making repairs, updates, or even cleaning the property when selling to our team. We purchase homes 100% as-is. Avoid the hassle and costs of getting your house "listing ready" and leave the work to us after closing.
Following these 5 simple tips will help make the process of selling your home to Mike Buys Houses seamless and stress-free. We aim to provide a refreshingly easy way to sell while still getting a fair cash offer for your property. Reach out today to get started!
