How To Sell Your House in Olathe Without ANY Hassle!

For many people, the thought of selling their home can seem like a lot of work accompanied by a long list of expenses. It might seem even more overwhelming if the property is in disarray or needs repair. However, it doesn’t have to be that way! In our latest post, we will explore the ways you can sell your house in Olathe without any hassle whatsoever! 

When selling a house in Olathe, most people immediately think about hiring an agent and listing the property on the MLS. This is a great solution for many people, however, you should know there are other options available to you. There are many ways to sell a Olathe house! Consider your options to discover which selling method is right for you and your situation!

Sell Directly to A Professional Home Buyer

You can sell your house without using an agent, ultimately saving a ton of time and money depending on the situation. There are companies such as kcmoHomeBuyer that will buy your Olathe house using a straight-forward and simple process. With a direct sale, you won’t have to worry about commission, repairs, cleaning-up or waiting for a buyer to come along. You will immediately know the amount you are receiving as well as the closing date so you aren’t left in limbo, wondering when your house will sell.

Direct sales are becoming increasingly popular, however, not all buyers are the same. Make sure you do your homework on both the local market and the buyer you are working with. A direct sale may not offer full price, but for some people, the amount saved on repairs and wasted time more than makes up for the difference in price.

We are direct buyers and recently purchased a house in Olathe from Crystal who had inherited a home in Olathe and was faced with a house that looks like the photo below.  She was really glad to get this “stone around her neck”.

List Your Home With An Experienced Agent

Of course, listing your Olathe house is an option. Take the time to learn about everything that is involved and what will be expected of you. No two agents work exactly the same and there are no guarantees. Your property can be listed for any price, but there is no guarantee you will receive it. Watch out for agents who try to “wow” you with a high listing price. If it’s priced too high, it will likely sit on the market, possibly for months at a time. You will inevitably have to lower the price, while your property drops down the list of homes available on the MLS. If you decide to list, make sure your agent prices your home to sell. Not just setting a high price to convince you to sign a listing agreement.

Be sure to do your homework on your agent before you hire them.  Ask to see some of their current listings online to see if they fill out details on the home, that they take photos, and check their reviews on Zillow.  Sometimes a seller will tell us they have a friend or family member who can list for them at a discount.  But often that discount means they take shortcuts and the house does not get marketed and does not sell.  If you want to list your home, we suggest talking with our sister company at RealtyResourceKC.com

Offer Seller Financing

This can work for some people who don’t need the cash from the home immediately. You can elect to carry the note setting up a “payment over time” structure. Your tenant will “buy” the property at a higher than average price, with some of the money going toward a down payment on the home. They will then have the make payments to you over time instead of to a bank.

Sometimes, we will buy houses in this fashion and let our seller be our lender rather than using our private partners or tying up our own cash.

Consider Your Other Options

If selling simply isn’t in the cards and you need to move, there are other options. You can rent the house out as either a short or long term rental. The trouble with this can be finding great tenants and retaining them for as long as possible. Renters can be quite nomadic, and tenant turnover can cost you dearly. If you haven’t done this in the past, consider hiring a property manager to help you keep everything in order.

Glad we Called

We had inherited Mom and Dad’s house a few years ago and had decided to rent it out. But being a landlord was not the best choice for us as it was a never-ending battle to keep it rented, keep the rent coming in and to fix it up every time that didn’t work. We were fed up and ready to be done with the whole situation. We called Scott at kcmoHomeBuyer and he was able to talk us through the situation on the phone, meet us at the house and make us an offer. We didn’t have to fix a thing, he took all the junk the last tenant left, and we closed a couple of weeks later.

Glad we called.
