Selling a Vacant Springfield Area Home

Selling a Vacant Springfield / Chicopee Home

So you’ve got an extra house in the Springfield, Chicopee, Holyoke area. It’s vacant, taking up your time and energy, but for what? Will you be renting it out or perhaps putting it on the market? Whatever your decision will be, you’ll most definitely be spending some big money in preparations.

Renters require a certain amount of time, energy and patience and having the house up to a “rental satisfaction” will mean making sure everything is in working order. Selling a house will take even more attention as now you are not only considering the renters, you have to consider your realtor and what they would want you to do to get it into sale shape, the home inspection company, who will tell you every tiny thing that needs fixing and the new buyer who might insist on a new roof or new carpets before they make an offer. There are plenty of things to consider.

Your vacant house can also be subject to vandalism, pest infestation, dry rot, overgrown vegetation etc. Without proper maintenance, even a nice home can become subject to a multitude of problems. Owning a vacant house can be a headache on so many levels.

So now you’ve decided that the vacant home needs to go, but you don’t want to spend a ton of money out of your pocket. So why not consider a cash sale. We buy houses, vacant homes, lots and land with no money out of your pocket. We even take care of the garbage. Hampden Homebuyers LLC has been buying homes in the Springfield metro area for over 10 years with a stellar reputation in the community. We pay cash for vacant homes, buy them as-is and can close within 2 weeks. Fill out our sell fast form at HampdenHomebuyers.com and see what we can do for you today!

How to Sell Your House ‘As Is’ at a Fair Price on the Date of Your Choice

If you want to sell your Springfield area house in the fastest, easiest, and most convenient manner, read this important message. You may discover the perfect solution… because we buy houses in Springfield and many houses throughout Western MA.

Selling a house is usually an expensive and complicated process. That’s why real estate agents make thousands (sometimes tens of thousands) of dollars on a single sale. But, when we buy your Springfield house, there are no commissions to pay. And you certainly won’t have to tolerate dozens of total and sometimes frightening strangers tramping through your home and poking through your drawers and closets.

We are a real estate investment company that works in the greater Springfield area and we buy a number of houses each month throughout the region… and in every price range. But the best part is… we use private funds that require no long, drawn out bank approvals. So we can act fast! We can usually close within 14 days… or as little as 72 hours. We’re as serious about buying your house as you are about selling it.

That’s the biggest difference between us and listing with a real estate agent. An agent will list your house… hoping it sells within 3 to 6 months. I want to buy your house now! That’s a huge difference when you’re the one with the house for sale. An agent lists five, ten, even dozens of houses at a time, and it’s rare if an agent can give all of those properties his or her close personal attention. It’s no wonder that a listed home can sometimes take a long time to sell while you, the owner, are stuck maintaining the property and making house payments month after month.

What’s your alternative? Of course you could just sell it yourself – without an agent. After all, who knows more about the house than you do? But consider this. How many houses have you bought and sold in your lifetime? Two, maybe three? If so, you haven’t had to solve even a fraction of the problems that usually pop up – right before closing.

Remember, buying a house is a big decision for most people and it’s easy for them to get “spooked.” At the first sign of a complication or small problem (like a lien, necessary repair, or one of the other typical closing glitches), they can run like a scared jackrabbit.

Then you have to start all over at square one – it’s a frustrating experience. Plus, when you try to sell it yourself, you still have to put up with dozens of strangers tramping through your home – only now you’ll have to be there yourself. For some owners, that’s a scary thought. And what if you need to move fast? You could dump the price and hope someone will steal your house, but can you afford to do that? Or, you could go ahead, move out, and leave it with the agent. And every month, while making two huge mortgage payments (most people find that tough to swallow), you hope and pray that someone will buy your old house next month – and the next – and the next. Of course, that’s assuming you can even qualify for a new mortgage with the old one still on your back.

And when it’s sitting vacant, what’s going to stop someone from climbing through the kitchen window and tearing up your property? Frankly, that’s more worry and aggravation than most people need in a lifetime. Pretty grim, huh?

Which way do you turn? To an agent with dozens of other listings to handle? Selling on your own and sweating out financing details, lost deals, last minute closing “surprises”? Moving out and hoping you don’t get some midnight call with “bad news” about your house?

Here’s a better solution – a way out…

When Hampden Homebuyers buys your house “as is” for CASH on the date of your choice, we might help you AVOID…

  • Putting your house on the market entirely.
  • Coming out of pocket if you have little or no equity..
  • Relying on an agent to perform or keep their promises.
  • Doing fix-up work to please a picky buyer…
  • Becoming an unwanted landlord.
  • Counting on a bank to approve your buyer’s loan.
  • Having your buyer back out at the last minute.
  • Paying prepayment penalties…
  • Having the cash you need NOW tied up in your house…
  • Struggling with the uncertainty of when it will sell
  • Making house payments you can no longer afford
  • Making payments on a vacant house.
  • Foreclosure or bankruptcy.

If your property qualifies and we come out to see it, we will provide you with a firm written offer. We’ll explain everything to you in plain, everyday English. We’ll be 100% direct, clear and honest with you… from start to finish.

In fact, we can usually “pre-qualify” your home right over the phone, in just a few minutes. That can save both of us time. If we come to an agreement, we can pay all cash with no contingencies. That’s because (unlike most potential buyers) we don’t have to sell another house first.

And if you want, we can close in just a few days. We’ll handle all of the paperwork and make all the arrangements and you can get on with your life! We don’t yet know your particular reasons for selling, but we do know how to get your house closed as quickly and professionally as possible.

Imagine, by this time next week your house could be sold!

Can we really buy your house this quickly and easily? Maybe, or maybe not. A lot of it depends on you. If you want to get above market price for your house, don’t bother calling us. We are professionals and we do expect to make a profit. Our offers are very “fair” and well thought out.

Does your property meet our requirements? Call our office and let’s find out. We buy all types of real estate and we can quickly determine if your house fits our investment needs. If we don’t end up buying your house, we’ll be happy to share ideas or advice on what you might try next. You will still have all your other options available. You have nothing to lose by calling us first.

So… give us a call at 413-248-SELL or fill out our “Sell Your House Fast” form on our website http://www.myhousesoldnow.com/ to get the ball rolling. When you need to sell you Springfield house now, we are the #1 choice!!

Selling Your House With Pets

Pets can be a problem when it comes to showing, selling a home.

If you’ve sold a home, you probably have your “short-notice showing” drill in place. Hopefully you’re keeping the house relatively clean and neat during the sales process, so all you need to do is straighten, gather the family, and decide on the nearest ice cream place or entertainment venue to kill an hour or so.

For veteran sellers, it’s no big deal.

But one thing that is often overlooked, and can often be a big deal, is what to do with the furrier members of your family during a showing. Sure, a Sunday drive can be just as much fun with the family dog in the car, but what if you’re at work? What if your dog weighs 100 pounds and takes up two of the kids’ seats? What if you have a cat that would sooner take a bath than get in the car?

It can be a problem because,as this article from homebuying.about.com points out, everybody loves pets except for the home buyer who may be looking at purchasing your house.

While we let that harsh reality settle in, let’s talk about what to do about it.

The article’s top solution? Prepare yourself.

Have the animals live somewhere else while you’re relocating.

Yeah, we know. But think about it. It’s not always practical or convenient to you to get them out of the house while it’s being shown. It’s not fair or healthy to your beloved pets to throw them in a basement, yard or other confined space during the showing, either (and, if they have fear or anxiety about the situation, it’s not good for your house).

But would a family member or friend agree to take them on for a limited amount of time? Is it economically feasible to board them for an open-ended amount of time? It’s something you should think about.

In the meantime, you can make some pet-related fixes to the house; waxing and polishing floors, cleaning baseboards and under furniture (even the least-sheddy of pets leave some trace), and getting rid of odors and stains (think around doors, litter boxes, beds and food bowls).

This won’t be the most popular solution but, as the article says, if you want top dollar for your house, you’ll at least consider it.

Consider that the nuclear option, but clearly there are other ways. If you’re able to keep up on having the house clean and eliminating evidence of the animals, you can always have a trusted neighbor come get them and take them for a walk ahead of the showing. At the bare minimum, according to the article, you should put the animal in a size-appropriate crate and clearly mark it “Dog/Cat Inside: Please do not disturb.”

Another practical tip, from the experts at Zillow.com Check your local laws and see if disclosing pet presence is required in your area. It often is. Some buyers will appreciate knowing because of allergy concerns. Best case scenario, you’ve done such a good job cleaning up after your pets, they’ll be impressed by your housekeeping skills!

One other tip: Just because your house is spotless doesn’t mean it’s odorless. You may have lived with a particular pet’s odor for so long that you simply don’t notice it. Bring in a neighbor or honest friend and ask them to tell you if they smell your pets in your showing-ready house. If they still do, consider a professional cleaning of carpets and furniture. An article from HowStuffWorks states that undetected pet odor or damage can take up to $30,000 off the value of a home. Can you afford a deep-cleaning for that?

Here at Hampden Homebuyers we don’t mind if you are selling your house and it is full of pets. As a matter of fact, we recently bought a home that was vacant for 5 years and had a family of raccoons living inside!

You could send your pet off to live with family and friends while you try to sell your home, but this doesn’t seem pratictical. If you would like to sell your house quickly in “as-is” condition to a buyer that doesn’t mind if you have pets, then give us a call at 413-248-SELL or fill out our “Sell Your House Now” form on our website to get the process started.
