WHY BUY WHEN YOU CAN TRADE?

By
Real Estate Agent with Austin Texas Homes

 A growing number of people are discovering that trading real estate may work best for them!

 You company is transferring you or you just need to re-locate for various reasons. You have a home to sell and maybe even a lot or an acre of land. You need to buy a home where you are moving. Circumstances are such that trading your property for another one where you are moving woulde work perfectly for you and also for the person whose property you wish to trade for.

So How does it work?

House Trading has all of the same steps as a typical sale and purchase real estate transaction. House Trading is simply where two sellers agree to buy each others properties. Both contracts need to be contingent upon the other one closing to protect the sellers. Both parties using the same title company make the process easier. It is important that escrow makes certain no monies change hands until both parties close.

 

Most frequently ask questions and answers:

1. Do you need a Realtor? The simple answer is YES. Your Realtor is an expert in the market you are looking at, he/she can advise you accurately and in real time on comps for the area, proposed major projects that could affect the value of the property you are looking to purchase, traffic conditions, contrat issues etc..

2. How is the Realtor compensated? If you work with me, I have 3 simple packages for you to choose from and you pay for only the level of service you want. Each package is designed to expose your property to as many prospective traders as possible. In most instances clients may want both to list their property for sale or trade.

3. What happens if my home is appraised for more than the property I am looking to trade for? In that case the person wanting to trade for your property could add cash to the deal or maybe another piece of equally valued real estate.

4. Can I trade commercial property. Yes. It works the same as a purchase.

5. Do I need to own my property free and clear? No. That will all be worked out in the deal just as if you were purchasing the home.
