Saved from a Wholesaler

This sweet elderly couple was almost tempted by a too-good-to-be-true offer from a wholesaler. They have a number that sounds good to someone who wants to walk away and not have to worry about it but the cost of that convenience was STEEP. Carrie stepped in to ensure they got the real value for their cherished home and gardens they'd curated and cared for over 40 years and help make it easy so they could just move and not have to look back Carrie assured them with a little bit of money she could stretch that to help the home show empty, clean and open. Even though it wasn't updated, we didn't have to go with super low pricing. There was a sweet spot and we found it. We had over 19 showings and got an offer within 3 days of being on the market to someone who could truly appreciate the gardens. Not only that, but we kept more money in their pocket even after some tough repair negotiations.

If you have a senior in your life and they don't want the pressure of a traditional sale...have them at least talk to us about how we can help before the sign anything!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Don't let your aging parents succumb to a wholesaler without at least understanding what kind of money they are leaving on the table. Who is a wholesaler? It's not a realtor - they have no fiduciary obligation to help you get the price. They don't hve to adhere to a code of ethics. It's someone who says they can buy your home in cash and close quick, but then for no money upfront they are simply writing an contract with you and then turning around to find an investor who will pay more than what they promised you. Then, they make the difference in what they promised you and what they sold to another investor. It's kind of like a finders fee. I would say it's largely focused on elderly homeowners who own their home outright and it can be quite predatory. Many seniors like the idea of an easy close and since they don't owe anything on the home, they consider any price to be beneficial from what they bought the home for. However, this is their nest egg and letting it go to a wholesaler when you could sell it on the open market for $50,000 more is not wise. By calling us, you aren't obligated to sell on the open market but it can help you know what your options are and what type of extra money you could have by going wtih a traditional sale -- and we help manage all the small repairs, cleaning and even emptying out some of your personal belongings you couldn't take with you. We handle it all and make you more money! That's what listing your home with Carrie means!
