When you’re selling your home, one of the few things you can control is the method you use to sell, and the method you select can also mean realizing the highest profit. Read on as we explore three unconventional and beneficial ways to sell your house in Merced.
Cash Offer
Accepting only cash offers is one unconventional and beneficial way to sell your house in Merced. With cash sales, closing is often faster that loans and can usually close in 10-14 days. Sellers select this route because of the relatively simple and fast aspects of bypassing lenders, underwriters and avoiding the time and red tape involved with dealing with buyers who need help qualifying for loans that may fall through. If you’re interested in cash offers, SMA Homebuyers can help! The biggest benefit to selling the property for cash is you can sell it as-is; working with a direct buyer like the professionals at SMA Homebuyers means you won’t need to spend any money out of pocket to make repairs, clear health department violations or code enforcement red tags before the sale. You’ll know the offer is fair because at SMA Homebuyers, we detail what you’d earn through other sales methods so you can compare for yourself and feel good about the deal.
Rent-to-Own
A rent-to-own agreement is another unconventional way to sell your house in Merced. It can be easier than you think to arrange a rent-to-own agreement. We have buyers ready to put down their sizeable initial deposit and create monthly cash flow for you. These agreements are typically for two years, and your buyers can walk away from the contract, or you can stipulate that their breaking the contract will result in legal action. Ready to learn more?

For Sale By Owner
Our final unconventional way to sell your house in Merced is the by-owner method, known as FSBO. Often influenced by the desire to save high real estate commissions for themselves, these owners take on the job of a real estate agent. Regrettably, many lack the experience and know-how to achieve the goal of bringing a qualified and willing buyer to the door. In addition, without understanding legalities, they may end up in court over disclosure laws, or even worse, fair housing violations. Today’s tech-savvy buyers can quickly assess the property, and you could make errors that derail your listing from the start, like over or under-pricing the property or not showcasing the property correctly. Most buyers recognizing the disparity will just continue to scroll, though a few, like sharks in bloody water, may make insultingly low offers. Still, these are likely to be few and far between. In 2019, only eight percent of sellers chose this path because of the pitfalls waiting at nearly every turn. Also, you should be able to afford to hold onto the house until you find a buyer; there is no guarantee of a sale with an FSBO.
