Pricing Your House to Sell Correctly
When selling a house in real estate, setting a fair or slightly lower asking price can lead to a quicker sale compared to setting a higher asking price. To determine the appropriate asking price, sellers should avoid being swayed by emotional attachment and instead consider the actual value of their property. It is helpful to research the prices at which similar houses in the neighborhood have been sold. Selling your home at a slightly lower price may attract more potential buyers and result in a quicker sale. Additionally, competing buyers might drive the price higher than your expected sale price. It’s recommended to ask for a price at least 6% higher than what you want to earn when working with agents because the commission for both agents will come out of the sale price. Selling through an agent at closing will result in extra fees. Selling directly to a home investor or buyer is usually a preferable option due to this.

Forget Repairing the House and Sell “As-Is”
You might have observed that in the property description of houses listed on the MLS, there is a statement that says “house is being sold as-is.” This means that the buyer will purchase the house in its current condition, and the seller will not be responsible for any repairs or maintenance. Selling your house as-is can save you time and money since you won’t have to clean or fix anything before selling. The buyer is aware that repairs are necessary before buying, so there’s no need to fix anything. However, selling a property “as-is” can be challenging for real estate agents because they typically target buyers looking for move-in ready homes. Properties listed as “as-is” on the MLS often receive less attention from buyers and may take longer to sell. The longer a house sits on the market, the lower its perceived value becomes. Selling your house as-is to a professional buyer like Fast Lane Real Estate will provide clarity on what you’ll receive and when. Avoid the hassle of dealing with an agent and effortlessly sell your house as-is through our process.
Network to Find the Right Buyers
We can find the perfect buyer for any type of property, regardless of its condition. Our focus is on matching your property with the right buyer, which might be an investor who is prepared to purchase your house immediately and rehab it as necessary. Many investors are comfortable with purchasing “as-is” properties and enjoy fixing them up. However, it’s important to exercise caution when working with national direct buyers who aren’t familiar with the St. Louis market, as out-of-state companies sometimes make low offers for homes. At Fast Lane Real Estate, you can expect a fair offer and our utmost support to help you through your tough times. As we are located and invested in the St. Louis area, we can provide better offers than many of our competitors.
