I put an offer in on a house Monday evening, but i have not heard anything back as of yet. This is my first home purchase and i am really nervous. I hate to keep on calling my realtor, he doesn’t seem to care though, but i know if i were him i would turn my phone off.

How long does it usually take to hear a yes or no? The home is in pre-forclosure and in fast sale.

Thanks for answers in advance.

Quick House Sale

since then. We are selling the house for what it will cost the pay off the mtg and pay the realtor.. I was thinking of doing A by sale by owner and drop the price almost 5000, which would have been her share of the sale.. Is it right to do that? She is telling me I might still have to give her money..
If I don’t sell this house fast I am going to lose it…

Ok- owe $126M, house should appraise for $135M-$140M. I am planning on getting a realtor & trying to sell the normal way. I live in St. Louis, MO., and I want to move to PA in the summer so my son can start school in Aug-Sept. If the house doesn’t sell by mid-July, isn’t there a way I can contact the mortgage company and get them to buy it for the amount I owe? I’m afraid a “buy houses quick” place will not offer me the price I need to pay off the mortgage. The house is in great shape, clutter-free, and I think it will sell fast, but who knows in this market? I’ve heard of a short-sale, but it sounds to me like that occurs when you are behind in your mortgage, and you offer the mortgage co less than what you owe, and it sounds like it could affect your credit. Sure- I’d love to make money on this house, but when it comes down to it, if it doesn’t sell, I’m willing to just get out without owing anything. Thanks in advance for your help!

We need to sell our house fast and for a good price, and we can’t afford a realtor. Even for sale by owner.com is too expensive. Any other ideas? We are in Forest Grove, Oregon, if what you recommend is area specific.

We are trying sale a house in Neosho Missouri and relocate to Arkansas. I already have a job and am in Arkansas, but my husband isn’t. Its not a fancy house, but it is a nice house with a lot of possibilities. The market is slow and so far we haven’t had any luck. We’ve had it up for sale by owner for about 6 weeks. We had it up for sale with a realtor for about 3 months last spring. Does anyone have any suggestions at all as to how to hurry along the sale of this house? We’re desperate….We’ll try anything…..

Many homeowners opt for a private house sale instead of hiring someone to do the marketing and sales for them. A lot of people feel really connected to their home and they don’t want anyone else to show the home to potential buyers. Other homeowners simply do not want to deal with a realtor, so they choose to do it on their own. There are many benefits to choosing to sell your home this way.

Reasons to Choose Private House Sale

Many people decide to sell their home privately because they want to be in control of the process. For obvious reasons, many people feel very attached to their home and they want to make sure that they showcase the home’s most positive features. When you have lived in a home for any period of time you will know what features the home has and you may even be able to show them off better than a professional would. It’s important though, if you choose to go this route, that you detach just a bit from the home and try to look at the house through a prospective buyer’s eyes.

Other homeowners choose to sell their home privately because they don’t want to deal with a professional. For some people it is really uncomfortable to have a realtor in their home with strangers and because of this they decide to forego dealing with a realtor at all. It is possible to sell a home privately, and many people in and around the UK are very successful at it. As long as you are willing to work around the schedules of others, are able to advertise the home for sale, and are also able to market the positive selling features of the home then you can sell your own home.

Many people will tell you if you want to sell house fast you need to hire a realtor, but this isn’t necessarily true. Being able to sell a home is all about marketing, so if you spend time getting the word out there through street signs, advertisements in newspapers, and on the internet you may find that selling your home privately is easier than you could have ever imagined. Before there were realtors people were buying and selling homes all on their own, so it is possible.

When you sell your UK home privately you will want to make sure you understand the process. There are a lot of great books out there as well as internet sites dedicated to helping homeowners sell their homes privately, even dealing with paperwork and all of the logistics of selling a home. Before the for sale sign goes in the yard or one advertisement goes out, the homeowner should be sure that he or she can diligently handle all of the necessary paperwork. A great thing to keep in mind when selling your home privately is that if you ever feel that you are in over your head a professional is just a phone call away.
