New Leaf Homebuyers

Trying to off-load multiple properties in Baton Rouge?

Coordinating that -- and selling the properties as fast as you'd like -- can be a real pain.

You could sell each property through a real estate agent. But then you're at the mercy of the housing market. And you're not going to get as much money going that route if the properties need repairs (it could also take quite a while to sell them all).

If you want to move fast, the best option might be to go with a cash buyer.

In fact, at New Leaf Homebuyers, we're ready to buy your properties now. We're a group of experienced investors, and we have the resources to buy multiple properties quickly (we even have a team that can handle any necessary repairs).

What's more, we'll give you a fair price for your properties, but them as-is, and you can pick the closing date.

Here are the benefits to you as the seller.

Get a fair price for your property -- We will give you a fair price for the property based on its current condition.

Sell your property as-is -- No need to make any repairs before selling.

Close on the date of your choice -- Pick the closing date that works for you.

So if you're looking for a hassle-free way to unload your properties, give us a call today at (225) 535-3146. We'll make you an offer within 24 hours.

Working with contractors to repair your home should be easy.

But it often isn't.

How does one find the best contractors for the job without breaking the bank?

What is the best method of communication with the contractors so everything goes smoothly?

How do you find contractors that you can trust?

At New Leaf Homebuyers, we've worked with a lot of contractors in Baton Rouge -- and we've learned a thing or two about optimizing the process.

More specifically, here are some tips...

1. Get referrals from friends or family

If you know someone who's recently had work done on their home, they may be able to recommend a good contractor.

You can also check online review sites like Angie's List or Yelp.

2. Ask for estimates

After identifying a few potential contractors, reach out and ask for written estimates.

Be sure to be clear about what work needs to be done and the materials that will be needed.

3. Check their references

Before hiring a contractor, take the time to check their references.

Ask previous clients if they were satisfied with the work that was done and if they would recommend the contractor.

4. Get everything in writing

Once you've chosen a contractor, be sure to get everything in writing.

This includes a detailed description of the work to be done, the materials that will be used, and the price.

5. Stay involved

Even after hiring a contractor, it's important to stay involved in the process.

Check in regularly to make sure the work is being done to the agreed-upon standards.

If you have any questions or concerns, be sure to raise them with the contractor right away.

Following those tips will help things run more smoothly when you hire a contractor.

Selling a house is stressful 😬

Packing, cleaning, repairing, moving, staging, showing, negotiating, inspecting...

Those are just SOME of the verbs associated with selling a property.

It's a lot of work.

And you might not know exactly what to expect.

So we thought we'd help. Here are some of the highest stress points of selling a home. If you know when they're coming, you can prepare yourself...

Cleaning -- The home needs to be clean and presentable for potential buyers. This means decluttering, deep cleaning, and perhaps even making some cosmetic repairs. It might be necessary to hire a professional cleaning service to help get your home show-ready.

Repairing -- Potential buyers will want to see a home that is in good condition. That means fixing any obvious damage, such as cracks in the walls or a leaky roof. It might also include the need to make less visible repairs, such as replacing outdated appliances or repairing plumbing or electrical issues.

Inspecting -- Before selling a home, It’s a good idea to have a professional inspection done. This will identify any major problems with the property that could give buyers pause. Be prepared to negotiate with buyers based on the results of the inspection, or quickly make repairs that might hold-up the ability to sell.

Waiting -- Once you've put your home on the market, you'll need to be patient and wait for the right buyer to come along. This can be a nerve-wracking process, especially if you're in a hurry.

Negotiating -- Once there’s an interested buyer, it's time to negotiate the sale. This can be a tricky process, as you'll need to come to an agreement on price, repairs, inspections, and more. Be sure to consult with a real estate agent to get the best deal possible.

That's a lot, huh?

Give us a call at (225) 535-3146. We can make you a fair cash offer within 48 hours, close in as little as two weeks, buy your home as-is, and we'll even pay all the closing costs!

Don't want to continue working with your real estate agent?

You're not the only one. It happens.

Some of the top reasons that people fire their real estate agent include...

- Bad communication
- Doesn't advocate for your interests
- Doesn't know the market
- Bad marketing efforts
- Don't get along personally
- Unethical behavior

Whatever the case, the good news is that there are some ways to cut ties and get out of your contract with a real estate agent. Here are some tactics...

Just Ask -- One way to get out of a contract with a real estate agent is to simply ask them to let you go. Most agents don’t want to force a business relationship that is not working.

Call The Brokerage -- If the agent is unwilling to let you out of the contract, the next step is to call the brokerage and ask to speak with the managing broker. Explain the situation and see if the firm is willing to cancel or terminate the contract.

Use The Dispute Resolution Process -- Another option is to use the dispute resolution process that's typically included in real estate contracts. This process can vary, but it typically involves going through mediation or arbitration in an attempt to resolve the issue.

Talk To A Lawyer -- Finally, if you're still unable to get out of the contract, it may be necessary to consult with a lawyer to see if there are any legal options available.

Wait It Out -- Another option is to wait it out. Most listing agreements have an "out" clause or end date that allows either party to cancel the contract after a certain period of time.

Whatever you do, make sure to read the listing agreement carefully before signing anything. This will make sure you understand the seller’s rights and what to expect if you decide to cancel the contract.

And if you want to sell your house the *easy* way, then give us a call at (225) 535-3146 and we'll make you a fair cash offer!
