Time and money are crucial factors when you are selling your home. If you need to sell your Salem house fast… there are local professional home buying companies who pay cash for homes in Salem, Sweet Home, and throughout the Willamette Valley.
Let’s dive into how you can sell your Willamette Valley house fast and get cash for your house in the process without having to list your house with a real estate agent, or wait months for it to sell.
How Do Cash For Homes in Salem Buyers Work?
Finding reputable local Salem house buyers who pay cash for homes in Salem can be a daunting task. However, with a little research, you can find that there are several investors out there looking to buy property for cash. Here are some of the things you should look at when you’re working with local cash home buyers (including our company, Willamette Home Buyers, we buy local Salem, Oregon houses fast).
And before you dive in below… if you’re not sure how the process of a cash buyer like Willamette Home Buyers buying your local Salem house works… check out our “How it Works” page on this site and our FAQ.
Price And Time Are Trade-Offs – Which Is More Important To You?
As you might suspect, it is not easy to get the full market value for your home if you are selling it fast for cash. To get the full market value of your house, you may have to wait 3-6 months… and often will need a real estate agent out there marketing your house to find you the best buyer. Real estate agents charge a commission (usually up to 6% of the sale price)… so if it takes you 6 months to sell and you have to pay a 6% commission… is that worth the wait?
Most often, local Salem house buyers like Willamette Home Buyers will evaluate your house… determine what it’s worth when it’s fully fixed up… determine how much they’ll have to invest in repairing / renovating the property… how long it will take… and of course they will need to turn a small profit for the risk of buying the house, renovating, and selling it… so cash offers from investors do tend to make offers that are below the full retail market value.
But some cash investors, including Willamette Home Buyers, can close quickly if you need to… so if selling your house fast with zero hassle at all is more important than getting every penny out of the sale… submit your info on the form on this next page or give us a call at 503-383-1686.
Another option when working with Willamette Home Buyers is to sell your house on terms. We can offer a higher price, sometimes full retail or even more, to sellers that are willing to accept monthly payments from us.
We like to make sure every house seller we work with knows all of their options, and we even encourage you to get other offers and shop them around. Our goal is always to find the win-win solution that solves your problem and helps us grow our business. We won’t be offering the lowest price in town… we often won’t offer you the highest price… but you can be assured that when we make you an offer, we’ll follow through with what we say we’ll do.
How Much Work Do You Want To Put Into Making Your Salem, Oregon House Sell?
Another big factor that local Salem cash home buyers like Willamette Home Buyers can offer is we take 100% of all of the work and hassle to sell your house off of your hands.
We handle it all.
No, we’re not listing your house like an agent does. With that route… you’ll still have to clean up your house… get it ready to show it when the streams of potential buyers want to see it… go back and forth through your agent with the buyers on price and terms, etc. It can be a lot of work.
Especially if your Willamette Valley house needs some work.
But, we offer cash for houses in Salem, Oregon because we’re professional home buyers based locally here in Salem. If a house needs work, we’ll buy it as-is and we’ll pay for the repairs it needs out of our pocket after we buy it from you. And you won’t have to worry about the paperwork either… we’ll get it all created at a reputable neutral party closing agent in town of your choosing… or we can recommend the ones we’ve used for years.
Basically, we can make you a fair all cash offer on your Salem house (or Call Us Today at 503-383-1686!)… and if it’s a fit, great! We’ll handle everything.
Do Your Research And Trust Your Gut
Before you decide to go with an investor offering cash for your property, be sure to investigate their reputation carefully. Consider asking for references from the investor. Talk to people the investor has worked with in the past to determine whether they are the right fit for you.
There are people out there who are less than honest… so make sure to do your research, talk to them and make sure you can trust them, and that they can actually close on the offer they made you on time.
