“Is selling to a cash buyer when you inherit a home in Overland Park right for you?”
Will it save you time? Can it save you money? Might it save you the heartache in going through all the stuff?
Jeanie thought the answer to all of this was yes. So she called us . . . let’s take a look at her situation and see how we were able to help her.
kcmoHomeBuyer Purchases an Inherited Overland Park Home
Jeanie’s father passed away without a will, so she went to probate court and became the administrator. Afterward, she felt unsure about who to call or what to do next.
While researching online, she found kcmoHomeBuyer and discovered our tips:
- Cleaning out the house
- Maintaining a vacant house while you get it sold
- Deciding between a traditional Realtor sale or selling for cash
Jeanie called Scott Tucker at kcmoHomeBuyer and met him at her father’s house. She says, ‘He was very sincere and helpful. I was pleased with his offer, and, as they say, the rest is history.”
He took the time to learn her concerns and found that many of the things we generally include with most offers would help her greatly.
Eliminate the Hassle Factor When Selling an Inherited House
Scott made her an all-cash offer that eliminated many tasks for her:
Clean Out The House: That was the big one for Jeanie. Not only did she not have the time, but she didn’t want to go through all the memories packed in the closets and cupboards, attic and basement. She instead took the items she wanted and left EVERYTHING else for us to take care of.
Repairs & Staging: The average buyer searches for the perfect house. Jeanie didn’t want to handle all the cleaning, repairs, and updates needed to get the home ‘ready to show.’ This process was costly and lengthy. Jeanie decided to leave it to us.
Commissions: The typical commission paid is somewhere around 6 % of the sales prices. Jeanie didn’t want to reduce her proceeds further by paying a listing agent and a buyers agent. With our offer there were no Realtor commissions, there were no administrative fees, and we were even able to pay her closing costs.
The Result of Our Help to Jeanie
Jeanie accepted our cash offer and closed in a couple of weeks. She no longer had to deal with or worry about her father’s house. She says, “If you need to sell, no matter the situation, please don’t hesitate to call Scott at kcmoHomeBuyer!”
