Trying to update your home so you can sell on the MLS?

Awesome!

But it can be hard to know what to fix, what to upgrade, and what to leave alone.

After all, you don’t want to spend more money than you need to get your home ready for buyers.

At Bayou Property Partners, we’ve helped a lot of homebuyers sell their house fast for a fair price, and if you’re going the traditional route (real estate agent/MLS), then here are some improvements that will give you the best bang for your buck...

Repaint — It’s pretty inexpensive to repaint your home, but it can have a big impact on people’s first impression of the home. So give the outside and inside a fresh coat of paint. This is probably one of the first things you should tackle.

Landscape — What people see before they walk in your home is just as important as what they see inside. It sets their expectations and either leaves them excited or with lackluster anticipation. That doesn’t mean you need to rework your entire yard… but a little bit of landscaping goes a long way.

Update Flooring — This is a little more expensive of an update, but new flooring can definitely impress potential buyers. You might want to consider updating your flooring especially if your carpets and tiles are outdated.

Or Sell As-Is For Cash — The more updates you make to your home, the faster you’re going to sell and the more money you’re going to get… but that can be a real headache. At [company], we can buy your house as-is for cash and close within just a couple of weeks. We understand that the traditional route isn’t for everyone. Give us a call at (337) 223-8882 to get your fair cash offer!

Are you tired of paying for maintenance on your home?

Well… you’re not the only one.

Aging is hard on properties — and homeowners can end up spending a lot of money fixing up a home that’s outdated or in ill repair.

Unfortunately, it seems like after you fix one problem… another problem is just around the corner.

So what should you do?

Well, at Bayou Property Partners, we’ve helped a lot of homeowners escape their ongoing maintenance problems.

If this is something that you’re struggling with, here are the steps we recommend taking…

Get Your Home Inspected — If your home has a lot of different problems, then you might consider paying a professional home inspector to look at your home and give you a thorough rundown of what problems exist and how serious they are. This will give you a better idea of what you’re up against.

Estimate Repair Costs — The inspector should provide you with an itemized list of all the problems that your home has. The next step is to do some research and call local repairmen to figure out how much those fix-ups are going to cost you.

Pay For Repairs — If the cost of all the necessary repairs fits your budget, then you can pay for them and have the peace of mind that the main problems are fixed. If the price tag is too expensive, though, then check out the next step.

Or Sell As-Is To a Professional Homebuyer — At Bayou Property Partners, we can buy your has as-is for cash. We can even close in as little as two weeks. This is a great option if you don’t want to worry about repairing your home before you sell. Give us a call at (337) 223-8882 to get your fair cash offer!

Trying to get rid of asbestos?

Before 1980, asbestos was commonly used in a lot of different home-building materials.

This means, if you have an older home, it’s likely that the ceiling, wall plasters, wallboard, floor, and even ceiling have asbestos in them.

On its own, this isn’t a problem.

But it BECOMES a problem if those asbestos particles become airborne — this can be detrimental to your health, especially over the long-term.

Unfortunately, as older homes break down, this is a relatively common problem.

But at Bayou Property Partners, we’ve helped homeowners out of all kinds of sticky situations… and here’s what we recommend if you think your house might have asbestos.

Test For Asbestos — Before you do anything, it’s a good idea to test your home for asbestos to make sure that you actually have a problem. You can order a testing kit online or you can hire someone to help with this.

Hire Someone To Remove Asbestos — Unless you’re a very competent handyman, this is probably something you want to hire someone else to do. Doing this wrong could result in exposing yourself to additional asbestos particles.

Replace Fixtures — You’ll need to replace tiles, siding, or whatever you removed to get rid of asbestos. This can be a little bit spendy.

Sell Your Home As-Is For Cash — If all of that sounds like too much work, then we’re willing to purchase your home as-is for cash… we can even close in as little as two weeks. That way, you can quickly upgrade to a safe and healthier home. Give us a call at (337) 223-8882 to get your fair cash offer!

Don’t like the area where you’re living?

Neighborhoods are like living organisms — they change and adapt with time.

Unfortunately, they don’t always change for the better… sometimes they become less desirable.

At Bayou Property Partners, for instance, we’ve worked with a lot of homeowners who purchased a home in a great neighborhood… but then that area took a turn for the worst.

And then they feel stuck.

If something similar has happened to you, here’s what we recommend…

Report Crime Immediately — If you know of crime going on in your area, then call and report it. The more that crime gets dealt with in the neighborhood, the less crime there will be. This is a small way that you can help to clean up your area.

Introduce Yourself To Your Neighbors — It might seem counter-intuitive, but introducing yourself to your neighbors can help you realize that there are many other decent people around you. This can help improve your experience in the community.

Pick Up Litter — Why not make your community a little bit cleaner? Picking up trash when you see it is a small but important way to make your neighborhood more pleasant and desirable.

Sell Fast To a Professional Homebuyer — Maybe all of this sounds like too much work… or maybe your neighborhood is so far gone that there’s no saving it. If that’s the case, then you might consider selling to a professional homebuyer. At Bayou Property Partners, we can buy your home as-is for cash and close in as little as two weeks. Give us a call at (337) 223-8882 to get your fair cash offer!

Are you struggling through the probate process?

Unfortunately, probate is often more complex and convoluted than it needs to be.

But at Bayou Property Partners, we’ve helped homeowners in almost every situation (including probate) to navigate challenges and sell their home.

So we thought we’d share some information with you about the probate process so that you know what to expect.

Here’s how it works…

File To Start Probate — First, you’ll need to submit a petition to the court to get the probate process started. You’ll need to file a valid and notarized will in addition to your application which indicates that you’re the legal executor of the estate. The court will then schedule a hearing to approve your petition. If approved, the court will open the probate case.

Provide Notice — As required by most courts, you’ll need to mail a notice that the estate is in probate to all creditors, beneficiaries, and heirs. You might even need to publish a notice in the newspaper, depending on your state.

Determine Assets & Pay Debt — You’ll also need to compile all of the estate’s assets and determine their value. Then you’ll need to analyze and pay debt.

Distribute Remaining Assets — Finally, after paying debts, you can distribute remaining assets to the appropriate beneficiaries.

Hire An Attorney — If this all sounds like too much, then you might consider hiring an attorney to help you through the process.

And once you’ve finished the probate process, if you want to sell your home quickly for cash, give us a call at 337-223-8882 and we’ll make you a fair offer. We can buy as-is and even close in as little as two weeks!

Do you need to move because of a job change?

While furthering your career or getting a new job can be exciting, the process of actually moving is sometimes stressful and overwhelming.

You have to pack, market and sell your home, and coordinate everything with your new job.

To make the process as simple as possible, here’s a quick overview of everything that you’ll need to do…

Find a Real Estate Agent — If you want to sell your house the traditional way, then you’ll need to find a trustworthy real estate agent to work with. A quick Google search should bring up plenty of options (just make sure to check the reviews!).

Make Repairs & Clean — It’s difficult to sell through the MLS today if your home isn’t in tip-top shape. You’ll need to clean your home and repair anything that’s broken. You also might want to consider staging your home or updating appliances to help it sell quickly.

Schedule House Showings — If you’ve hired a good real estate agent, then they’ll be showing your home regularly. It might be inconvenient, but this means that you’ll need to leave so that potential buyers can look at your house in private.

Or Sell To a Professional Homebuyer Fast — If you don’t want to worry about any of that, then you might consider selling to a professional homebuyer like us over at Bayou Property Partners. We can buy your home as-is, fast for cash and close in as little as two weeks. Call us at 337-223-8882 to get your fair cash offer!

Does your house have mold?

Not only can mold damage your house… it can also make the people living there sick if it’s not taken care of.

At the same time, finding the mold and getting rid of it can be tedious and expensive.

At Bayou Property Partners, we’ve helped a lot of homeowners deal with a lot of different problems, including mold.

And here are some of the steps we recommend taking…

Look For The Source of The Mold — Before you get help dealing with the mold, it’s useful to figure out where the mold is coming from and how bad the problem is. This will help you determine whether you need to hire an expert or whether you can take care of it yourself.

Clean What You Can — If you have a little mold problem, you can usually clean it with baking soda dissolved in water. But again, this is only effective for very small, localized amounts of mold.

Call a Professional — If you find that your mold problem is more than you can handle, then it’s best to call a mold professional for analysis and removal. This can be a pretty intense process that might even require you to leave your home for a little bit. The cost is usually between $600 and $5,000 depending on how bad the problem is.

Sell Your Home As-Is For Cash — Maybe you just don’t have the time or money to deal with the mold problem. In that case, you can sell to us at Bayou Property Partners. We’ll pay cash for your home, buy it as-is, and we can even close in as little as two weeks. Give us a call at 337-223-8882 to get your fair cash offer!
