Trying to sell a home with a torn-up yard?

We get it…

For better or worse, the first thing that buyers see — before they even walk in your house — is the lawn.

And if that yard leaves a bad first impression, it can make potential buyers walk away without a second-glance.

Fortunately, that’s not how the story has to end.

If you’re trying to sell a home with a less-than-pretty yard, here are some things you can do.

Fix The Lawn — If you have time and money that you don’t mind spending on fixing up your lawn, then this is your first option. You can pull up weeds, mow, and re-seed your lawn where necessary. But be aware that it can take up to a month for your yard to get looking like you want it to.

Purchase Turf Grass — This option is certainly quicker than trying to repair your lawn, but it also can be quite expensive. It costs between $5 and $20 per square foot. So you’ll definitely need a hefty budget to make this happen.

Sell To a Professional Homebuyer — If you don’t want to worry about repairing your lawn and you don’t want to pay for expensive turf grass, you might just consider selling to a professional homebuyer like us. At Free Bird Properties, we buy houses as-is for cash and we can close in as little as two weeks. Give us a call if you want to hear our offer! (410) 826-8200

Trying to sell a home that is really outdated?

Time moves fast… the housing market and buyer expectations are no exception. Every year, buyers expect to purchase a home with the latest and greatest updates.

But naturally, you haven’t had time to keep up with all of those upgrades on your home… you were busy doing other things.

Still, now that you want to sell, you’re struggling to get as much attention as you’d like… and you’re probably struggling to get the price you want.

Here are some ideas to help…

Update The Main Stuff — When it comes to getting as much money as possible for your home, not all updates are equal. If you want to spend money and time updating your home, then start with the kitchen and bathrooms, then appliances, and give your home a fresh paint job. This will cost you a pretty penny, but will make your home far easier to sell for a hefty price-point.

Rent The Home — Tenants are usually less picky about the home they’re moving into than buyers are. Since they don’t own the home, they’re willing to look past outdated features. The downside is that tenants might not treat the home with as much respect as it deserves. But this is certainly an option if you have the energy and know-how to manage tenants.

Sell To a Professional Homebuyer — If you just want to sell your house fast and you have a lot of equity, then consider selling to a professional homebuyer like ourselves at Free Bird Properties. We’ll buy your house as-is for cash and we can close in as little as two weeks. Give us a call at (410) 826-8200 to get your offer!

Trying to sell your home but failing on the inspections?

Unfortunately, nothing deters buyers quite like dry rot, pests, or some other ominous discovery during inspection.

What’s worse? Fixing that damage you didn’t even know about can be expensive.

And naturally, you weren’t wanting to SPEND money on the sale of your home, you were wanting to MAKE money.

But most buyers will cold-shoulder you until it’s fixed.

At Free Bird Properties, we’ve worked with a lot of frustrated sellers who’ve gone through a similar situation.

We always tell them, your only options are to…

Fix The Damage — It’ll cost time and money, but fixing the damage discovered during an inspection is the only way to sell your house on the MLS in any reasonable amount of time.

Ignore The Damage — You could always just ignore the damage and try to find a buyer that doesn’t care… but that’s going to be pretty tough. And you should probably expect to be waiting for more than 3 months to find a buyer.

Sell To a Professional — At Free Bird Properties, we buy homes as-is for cash and we can close in as little as two weeks. We will pay closing costs and we don’t care if your home passes an inspection. Give us a call if you want to learn more! (410) 826-8200

Here are some questions that we encourage you to ask when you’re trying to find a trustworthy real estate agent…

Can I Speak With Someone Who You’ve Worked With Recently? — This will tell you a lot about the real estate agent. By speaking with someone else who worked with the agent, you can more easily determine whether the agent will be a fit for you.

How Much Commission Do You Charge? — You don’t want to be surprised by how much money the real estate agent takes on the sale of your home, so ask this question upfront.

How Long Have You Been An Agent? — The longer that an agent has been in the real estate business, the better. That means they probably understand different types of markets, buyers, sellers, and negotiations.

Asking those three questions will tell you a lot about any agent.

But if you just want to skip the traditional home selling process altogether… then give us a call — we can buy your home for cash, as-is, within just two weeks — (410) 826-8200
