Thinking of selling your house to a family member?

There are a few things you need to take into consideration before making this decision. Selling your home to a family member can be a great way to keep the property in the family, but it’s not always the best financial (or relational) decision.

Here are a few things to think about before selling your house to a family member:

1. What is the market value of your home?

Be sure to research the market value of the home before selling. You might consider selling the property for a big discount to a family member, but it's still important to know what you stand to make or lose by going this route.

2. Are you sure the family member can afford it?

Be realistic about a family member’s ability to purchase the home. If they can’t afford the property, selling to them may not be the best option -- and it might end up wasting a lot of time. Be sure they can get pre-approved for a loan.

3. What are the emotional implications?

Selling your home to a family member can be an emotional decision. Be sure you are comfortable with the idea of this arrangement before proceeding. If there are any nagging doubts, it may be best to sell to someone else.

Hope that helps!

If you want to know what you could get for your property by selling fast for cash, give us a call at (225) 535-3146. We can buy your house as-is, and you pick the closing date.

Does your house have code violations?

It is often unexpected and frustrating when you receive notice that your property has a code violation and that, if it's not fixed, you're going to receive a fine.

We know what this is like.

At New Leaf Homebuyers, we've bought a lot of properties in Baton Rouge with code violations and had to deal with fixing those problems.

So... what are your options?

There are a few different things that can be done if your property has code violations.

The first thing that you can do is try to fix the violation yourself. This may be something as simple as trimming some trees or bushes, painting over graffiti, or fixing a hole in a fence. If the violation is something that is easily fixed, this is probably going to be the cheapest option.

The second option is to hire a company to fix the violation for you. This is going to cost you more money than DIY, but it will save the time and headache of dealing with it, and ensure the repairs are completed to code.

The third option is to do nothing and hope that the violation goes away on its own. This is a BAD choice. Because it's not going to go away. Oddly enough, it’s still one that many people choose!

The fourth option is to sell the property. This may be the best option if you don't want to deal with the hassle of fixing the code violation, you can't afford to fix it, or the violations are extensive.

In fact, we can buy your property as-is (code violations and all) for a fair cash price and close in as little as two weeks. We'll even pay all closing costs. Give us a call at (225) 535-3146 to get your no-obligation cash offer!

Trying to off-load multiple properties in Baton Rouge?

Coordinating that -- and selling the properties as fast as you'd like -- can be a real pain.

You could sell each property through a real estate agent. But then you're at the mercy of the housing market. And you're not going to get as much money going that route if the properties need repairs (it could also take quite a while to sell them all).

If you want to move fast, the best option might be to go with a cash buyer.

In fact, at New Leaf Homebuyers, we're ready to buy your properties now. We're a group of experienced investors, and we have the resources to buy multiple properties quickly (we even have a team that can handle any necessary repairs).

What's more, we'll give you a fair price for your properties, but them as-is, and you can pick the closing date.

Here are the benefits to you as the seller.

Get a fair price for your property -- We will give you a fair price for the property based on its current condition.

Sell your property as-is -- No need to make any repairs before selling.

Close on the date of your choice -- Pick the closing date that works for you.

So if you're looking for a hassle-free way to unload your properties, give us a call today at (225) 535-3146. We'll make you an offer within 24 hours.

Working with contractors to repair your home should be easy.

But it often isn't.

How does one find the best contractors for the job without breaking the bank?

What is the best method of communication with the contractors so everything goes smoothly?

How do you find contractors that you can trust?

At New Leaf Homebuyers, we've worked with a lot of contractors in Baton Rouge -- and we've learned a thing or two about optimizing the process.

More specifically, here are some tips...

1. Get referrals from friends or family

If you know someone who's recently had work done on their home, they may be able to recommend a good contractor.

You can also check online review sites like Angie's List or Yelp.

2. Ask for estimates

After identifying a few potential contractors, reach out and ask for written estimates.

Be sure to be clear about what work needs to be done and the materials that will be needed.

3. Check their references

Before hiring a contractor, take the time to check their references.

Ask previous clients if they were satisfied with the work that was done and if they would recommend the contractor.

4. Get everything in writing

Once you've chosen a contractor, be sure to get everything in writing.

This includes a detailed description of the work to be done, the materials that will be used, and the price.

5. Stay involved

Even after hiring a contractor, it's important to stay involved in the process.

Check in regularly to make sure the work is being done to the agreed-upon standards.

If you have any questions or concerns, be sure to raise them with the contractor right away.

Following those tips will help things run more smoothly when you hire a contractor.

Or if you want to skip the headaches and sell your house easily for a fair cash price, give us a call at (225) 535-3146 -- we can make you a fair cash offer within 48 hours and close in as little as two weeks! Plus... we'll buy the house as-is.

Selling a house is stressful 😬

Packing, cleaning, repairing, moving, staging, showing, negotiating, inspecting...

Those are just SOME of the verbs associated with selling a property.

It's a lot of work.

And you might not know exactly what to expect.

So we thought we'd help. Here are some of the highest stress points of selling a home. If you know when they're coming, you can prepare yourself...

Cleaning -- The home needs to be clean and presentable for potential buyers. This means decluttering, deep cleaning, and perhaps even making some cosmetic repairs. It might be necessary to hire a professional cleaning service to help get your home show-ready.

Repairing -- Potential buyers will want to see a home that is in good condition. That means fixing any obvious damage, such as cracks in the walls or a leaky roof. It might also include the need to make less visible repairs, such as replacing outdated appliances or repairing plumbing or electrical issues.

Inspecting -- Before selling a home, It’s a good idea to have a professional inspection done. This will identify any major problems with the property that could give buyers pause. Be prepared to negotiate with buyers based on the results of the inspection, or quickly make repairs that might hold-up the ability to sell.

Waiting -- Once you've put your home on the market, you'll need to be patient and wait for the right buyer to come along. This can be a nerve-wracking process, especially if you're in a hurry.

Negotiating -- Once there’s an interested buyer, it's time to negotiate the sale. This can be a tricky process, as you'll need to come to an agreement on price, repairs, inspections, and more. Be sure to consult with a real estate agent to get the best deal possible.

That's a lot, huh?

Want to skip it?

Give us a call at (225) 535-3146. We can make you a fair cash offer within 48 hours, close in as little as two weeks, buy your home as-is, and we'll even pay all the closing costs!

Thinking of selling your house but worried it won't pass the inspection?

When selling the traditional way, on the MLS, passing the home inspection is very important.

It's one of the many contingencies that are typically included in a real estate purchase contract.

If problems are found during the inspection, the buyer can then choose to back out of the contract or renegotiate with you, the seller.

Obviously, it's in your interest to try and make sure your home passes the inspection on the first go-around. Here are some tips...

1. Check the structure of the home from the foundation to the roof and everything in between.

If there are any cracks or damage, have it all repaired before putting your house on the market.

2. Inspect the plumbing and electrical systems. If there is any outdated wiring or plumbing, it will need to be replaced or updated.

3. The condition of your windows and doors is important, as well. If any of them are in disrepair, they will need to be fixed.

4. Make sure the HVAC system is in good working order. This is a big one that can make or break a home inspection.

5. Last but not least, do a deep clean of your entire house. This includes the inside and outside.

The cleaner the house is, the more likely it is to pass inspection.

Or if all of this sounds like too much work, you can skip the hubbub and sell to a professional cash buyer like us at New Leaf Homebuyers -- we can make you a fair cash offer within 48 hours and close in as little as two weeks.

Did the purchase of your home fall through?

Nothing is quite as frustrating.

And there are a lot of different things that might cause that to happen.

The home might not appraise for the purchase price, there could be issues with the title, or the buyer could back out of the sale.

What are you going to do?

Well, you're not all out of options.

If you aren't in a hurry to sell, simply waiting for another buyer is an option. Talk to your real estate agent and see what can be done to ensure this doesn't happen again.

(Also, don't forget to fight for that earnest money if the buyer backed out)

If you are in a hurry, however, then give us a call at (225) 535-3146. We'll ask you some simple questions, and we will make you a fair no-obligation cash offer within 48 hours. And if you accept, we can close in as little as two weeks (you pick the closing date).

Plus, we're local and have been operating in Baton Rouge for quite some time.

That means our reputation stands upon the service we provide to homeowners in our community -- and we're happy to stake our reputation on that.

So... want to get your fair cash offer?

Give us a call and tell us a bit about yourself!

Is it a good time to sell your house?

At New Leaf Homebuyers, if there's one thing we've learned from buying houses in Baton Rouge, it's that there are TONS of factors to consider when buying or selling a home.

It's only natural that sellers want to sell at the best possible time (to get the most bang for that buck).

So here are some factors to consider...

Demand -- Is there more demand for houses in the area or less? If there are more people looking to buy than there are homes on the market, that's generally a good sign that prices will be going up.

Seasonality -- Is it spring or summer? In most markets, these are the busiest times of year for buying and selling homes. Families with children often want to move when school is out so they don't have to deal with the hassle of moving during the school year.

The Economy -- How's the economy in your city or town? If there are a lot of people being laid off or if there are new businesses moving into the area, that can impact the housing market big time.

All of these factors (and more) can affect the housing market in your area and, ultimately, impact whether or not now is a good time to sell your house.

Want to sell regardless of market conditions? Then give us a call at (225) 535-3146. We can make you a fair cash offer, close in as little as two weeks, and we'll even pay all closing costs!

Don't want to continue working with your real estate agent?

You're not the only one. It happens.

Some of the top reasons that people fire their real estate agent include...

- Bad communication
- Doesn't advocate for your interests
- Doesn't know the market
- Bad marketing efforts
- Don't get along personally
- Unethical behavior

Whatever the case, the good news is that there are some ways to cut ties and get out of your contract with a real estate agent. Here are some tactics...

Just Ask -- One way to get out of a contract with a real estate agent is to simply ask them to let you go. Most agents don’t want to force a business relationship that is not working.

Call The Brokerage -- If the agent is unwilling to let you out of the contract, the next step is to call the brokerage and ask to speak with the managing broker. Explain the situation and see if the firm is willing to cancel or terminate the contract.

Use The Dispute Resolution Process -- Another option is to use the dispute resolution process that's typically included in real estate contracts. This process can vary, but it typically involves going through mediation or arbitration in an attempt to resolve the issue.

Talk To A Lawyer -- Finally, if you're still unable to get out of the contract, it may be necessary to consult with a lawyer to see if there are any legal options available.

Wait It Out -- Another option is to wait it out. Most listing agreements have an "out" clause or end date that allows either party to cancel the contract after a certain period of time.

Whatever you do, make sure to read the listing agreement carefully before signing anything. This will make sure you understand the seller’s rights and what to expect if you decide to cancel the contract.

And if you want to sell your house the *easy* way, then give us a call at (225) 535-3146 and we'll make you a fair cash offer!

Want to sell a house that needs repairs…

… WITHOUT doing a ton of work to it?

We get it.

At New Leaf Homebuyers, we’ve helped a lot of homeowners sell properties that they didn’t want to repair themselves.

How?

Well, we’re real estate investors. And we buy distressed properties as-is for cash. We can even close in as little as two weeks and pay all closing costs.

Give us a call at (225) 535-3146 to learn more.

OR…

If you have a distressed property and you want to sell the traditional route (on the MLS with a real estate agent) without making fixes, here are the people to consider targeting…

Flippers — These real estate investors make money by buying distressed properties, fixing them up, and flipping them for a profit. It might be hard to believe, but they’re actually looking for properties like yours.

Deal Hunters — These are people who want to move into a specific location but they can’t afford the average list price in that neighborhood. Deal Hunters are willing to buy a property that’s in disrepair for a lower listing price.

Remodelers — These are people who can afford to buy a property in your neighborhood, but who haven’t been able to find a place that has everything they want. These buyers are willing to do a lot of remodeling, repairing and fixing up if the location is right.

The better the location, the easier it’ll be to sell a distressed property!

And don’t forget to make your home look as pretty as possible, even for those people. Clean it out and do some yard work before you show it to potential buyers.

Hope that helps!
