About 2 months ago we placed an offer on a house that was listed as an estate sale. The offer was accepted and we placed earnest money down. The listing said it had “a newer roof”, after our $300 inspection, we found out the roof was 30yrs old. The realtor is now telling us that there is only one heir to the estate and it is in probate. We are very confused and it has been 5 weeks since we have been ready to close. Can we sue them if they do not close by a certain date? Can we get ALL the money we have into it? Inspection and all? They NEVER told us it was in probate when we made the offer.

They said nobody is contesting it so it should be done fast but it’s been over a month already. Can we sue them for our money back????

Repossession

We have our house for sale and have updated the interior as well as exterior landscaping. One thing beyond our control that is a turn-off to potential buyers is our neighbors’ back yards. We have a chainlink fence up around our back yard, but need to mask our neighbor’s yards on each side. In order to keep cost at a minimum we’d like to use a hedgerow versus a wooden fence. I’m thinking Leland Cyprus. Any other suggestions?

I’m ¼ owner on a house, and the other owners don’t get that it makes sense to price low and sell fast. The home is owned free and clear. It’s in a small town, where demand for homes is exceptionally low and there are always plenty for sale. This house is tiny compared to others in town, and while livable, it needs major updates. At best, I think we can sell this house for $40,000 and that’s if we’re willing to wait years for that one right buyer.

I’ve already brought up the obvious: vacant houses are hard to insure, other homes in town aren’t selling no matter the price, costs of property taxes and propane to keep the pipes from freezing in the winter, and the liability if someone gets hurt on our property.

Any other suggestions? I’d like to keep the language as simple as possible. Other owners have a limited familiarity with the real estate; at least a couple of them think it’s a good idea to overprice the home and then drop it later if needed. *head slap*
One in the hand is worth two in the bush. I want whatever paltry amount we can get now rather than waiting years for a buyer for what might end up being a couple grand per owner extra. To me, it’s just not worth it because there’s always that chance (and in this town it’s fairly likely) that we’ll never sell the house.

Also of consideration, the owners received decent cash inheritances. Whatever we make from the sale of this house is simply icing on the cake so it’s not like anyone here can whine that $2-3K makes a huge difference in their lives.
I realized this probably isn’t clear…the other owners are caught up in this idea that the home is worth a certain amount just because they arbitrarily think it is. The data in the area simply doesn’t back it up, and I’m having trouble getting these people to see that what they think the home is worth is meaningless. All that matters is what someone is willing and able to pay.

My husband and I are moving to the Tampa FL area. We currently have our house for sale in Pittsburgh, PA. We have been talking about me taking our 5 and 1 year old sons and moving in with my mother. She lives in Holiday (Tampa area). My husband thinks the house will sale faster if we clear out every thing but a bed for him and desk. Any thoughts on the house sale or leaving without my husband?
I see people think he is up to no good, but I have complete trust in him. He has never given me any reason not to trust him in our 7 years of marriage. Beside I’m the one moving close to the beaches with all the tan guys walking around. We trust each other completely and take our marriage vows very seriously.
Thanks for the tastefully lived in comment. My house is not tastefully lived in right now. Every time someone wants to see the house I spend hours cleaning. Not only do I have my children to clean up after, but I babysit too.

‘ve been trying to work with my mortgage company for months now while getting no where, it’s always “call back in two weeks”, etc. I had hoped the new March 4th programs would help but I have been calling weekly and my bank still says they haven’t received the info yet with all the details on the program so call back in two weeks.

In the meantime I did list my house for sale just in case I need to do a quick short sale to avoid foreclosure. From everything I heard you don’t want to foreclose, short sale is a little bit better. However I haven’t gotten any offers and have been hesitant to drop the price too low and sell before I found out if any of these new government programs would work to keep me in the house (yes, I still have that pesky whole emotional attachment stuff)…

So this morning I have been thinking maybe enough is enough, let’s get this over with. I love my house but am getting really tired of waiting to see whats going on, should I drop the price to where I think it would sell or do I sit it out and ride the foreclosure process wave as long as I can? Then about an hour ago I find out the builder in my neighborhood has just reduced new construction pricing down into the $160’s, I cringe to think about what I paid 2 years ago ($245K), not that I am concerned about value, I’m happy with the house and it totally serves my need.

So…Should I ride the foreclosure wave as long as possible? Or try to sell this baby as fast as possible as a short sale? Thanks

Repossession

Private property sales need to be exposed so that there would be prospective buyers. Otherwise, there would be the difficulty of disposing the property. To make sales possible, there must be people involved in the transaction. It does not only concern the property itself. It also concerns other players of the transaction.

 

When you decide for private property sales, there could be three important players who will be involved. They are the owner, the sales agent, and the solicitor. These three players will be busy in dealing with the sale. However, each one has their own role to take.

 



As the owner, you are tasked to dispose the property. You will determine the market value of the property as well as the selling price. You need to consider the purchase price of the property, the marketing costs, and other costs incorporated in the sale. Then it is your responsibility to ensure that the property is saleable and legally available. Generally, the owner can sell house privately. He can sell it by advertisement or word of mouth. It is actually his discretion on how he can sell it.

The sales agent is normally the middleman of the sale. They are tasked to sell the property. When an owner has dealt with a sales agent, the owner is giving the sales agent full rights to the private property sales. However, it is the responsibility of the owner to ensure that the agent will get the commission due him.

The third player is the solicitor. Contrary to most beliefs, it is not the role of the sales agent to undergo conveyance, legalizing the transaction, and dealing with the buyer’s solicitor. It is the sole task of the solicitor as the solicitor has the expertise in property documentations, legalization, and conveyance.



 

With these players, there is the tendency that the cost of the house will increase more than just the market value. The cost for solicitor and the sales agent as well as the markup for the owner will be incorporated in the purchase price of the private property sales.

 

To be able to lower the selling price of the property or for the owner to have considerable markup for the private property sales, one must slash down the cost for the players. Definitely, one cannot do away with the role of the owner, as this is the reason why the property is for sale in the first place. Solicitors cannot also be disregarded because property documentation has to be done by qualified solicitor. This leaves a question if sales agents are necessary. Actually, if the owner cannot sell house privately due to limited time, effort, and resources, then the sales agent will prove to be necessary.  However, if there could be ways to improve exposure of the private property sales, then by all means, it would be more practical to sell house privately. You just need to advertise the sales for enough exposure.

 

One way to sell house privately for enough exposure is through advertisement online. The Big Move Online is one site that offers private property sales. The owner will have complete control on how to go about the advertisement of the property because it can be done once an account is made on the site. With Big Move Online, to sell house privately is made easy because of exposure. This way, the owner will save on the commission of sales agents.

I know that garage sale is the obvious answer, but I live kinda off the beaten track and don’t get alot of people. And furniture you get nothing for. Anybody try consignment? I have alot of furniture. Quality stuff. What about an auction? Or putting it in the paper? There is just so much to do. I also have stock left from a gift store and I have no idea what to do with all this miscellaneous stuff. Help! Which way is best?
