Selling a home can be a complex and stressful process even under the best circumstances.
When you’re dealing with a distressed property the process can become overwhelming. If you find yourself in this situation, don’t worry. We’re here to help you understand your options and find a solution that works for you.
Understanding Distressed Properties
A distressed property is typically in a state of disrepair or facing financial troubles, like an impending foreclosure. This can mean anything from a leaking roof and overgrown landscaping to serious structural issues. These problems can quickly escalate, making it more difficult and costly to sell the home. The key to managing a distressed property is understanding the extent of the issues and acting quickly to prevent further deterioration.
The Cost of Waiting
The longer you wait to address the issues with a distressed property, the worse they become. For example, a small leak in the roof can turn into significant water damage, leading to costly repairs down the line. Overgrown landscaping can lead to foundation damage, which is both expensive and time-consuming to fix. And when it comes time to sell, extensive damage can scare off potential buyers.
Most buyers today are looking for move-in ready homes. They don’t want to inherit your problems, and in many cases, their lenders won’t finance a home with significant issues. So what can you do if you don’t have the time, skills, or money to make the necessary repairs?

That’s where we come in.

Curious about how it works? Let’s break it down.
Selling Direct
Many real estate agents will tell you that the traditional marketplace isn’t always the best fit for a distressed property. And they’re often right. When you’re dealing with a property that’s deteriorating by the day, you’re not in a strong position to negotiate with agents and their buyers.
If you’re under time constraints or worried about passing an inspection, the offers you get (if any) will likely be lower than you’d like. Plus, you’ll need to factor in real estate commissions, fees, and closing costs, which can eat into any potential profit.
On the other hand, a direct buyer like Scott or Don at kcmoHomeBuyer won’t charge you a commission when they buy your house. We make all-cash offers and can close on the day of your choice.
This fast option is ideal if you need to sell quickly.
Listing the with an Agent
But our cash or terms offer is not your only option.
Because we’re also Realtors, we can list your house and market it as-is to our extensive network of cash buyers. We have people eager to buy fixer-upper properties, so if you have a bit more time, listing with us at our sister company, Realty Resource, might be the better choice. While you will have some commission and closing costs, you’ll often end up making more money. This dual approach allows us to tailor our services to meet your specific needs and timeline.
Listing Your Property Yourself
If you decide to list your distressed property yourself, you’ll still face many of the same challenges and costs, minus the commission. Negotiations can be tough, especially if you’re emotionally and financially invested in the home. Lowball offers can be frustrating and difficult to accept. Additionally, without the expertise of a professional, you might struggle to market your property effectively, leading to a longer time on the market and potentially lower offers.
Exploring Your Options
We understand that every homeowner’s situation is unique, which is why we offer flexible solutions tailored to your needs. We can provide you with a detailed estimate of what your home would earn as a traditional listing through our brokerage, including the expenses you’d incur. We can also give you an all-cash offer, which comes with no out-of-pocket costs and represents the amount you’ll receive at closing.
So, if you have a distressed property to sell and want options, give us a call. Let us know if you want both a cash offer and a listing proposal. We can discuss the differences in price, time, and effort, and you can make an informed decision that’s best for you and your situation.
We’re Different
At kcmoHomeBuyer, we don’t use high-pressure sales tactics. We’re upfront about everything because we want you to make an educated decision based on your specific situation. Our goal is to help you navigate the sale of your distressed property with ease and confidence.
By working with Kim or Don, long-time, legitimate home buyers, you can avoid commissions, closing costs, and the hassle of making repairs. Our sister company, Realty Resource, offers a no-hassle “as-is” listing, which includes commissions and closing costs but can sometimes be the better option. We’ll take the time to listen to your concerns and answer your questions thoroughly, with no obligation.
