Special offer

There is DIRTY then there is THIS

By
Real Estate Broker/Owner with Godzyk Real Estate Services NH License 033394

When we came upon this Concord NH area home, another buyer came running out with their agent saying :you do not want to go in there." My buyer looks at me, and walks faster.... toward the building. His motto is the dirtier the better. Less offers to compete with.

 

Have you ever seen a Home Buyer get excited about a dirty home? I have, and that should make the seller worry. You see, I have a nice group of different cash buyers I work with, ready to buy any home that needs work. They know, the worse the condition, the lower the price. 

 

 

 

 

At the end of the day, no other offers came in. My buyer made a fair offer, lower than their high asking price, but was right on after deducting for repairs. Had they simply cleaned the house, they could have got much more. 

 

 

IN THE END THE LESSON IS:  That a listing agent needs to tell the seller what will make the sale easier, what will attract more buyers and bring in more offers which can lead to a higher sales price. The hard truth is cleaning takes time and elbow grease, not lots of money.

 

All Agents are not created equal and every buyer or seller should take the time to hire the BEST not just the biggest. By using a philosophy, which is simple, to provide more personal and professional service to guide my clients through each step of the buying or selling process, I can help you find your dream home or sell your property. Your agent can stand behind you and assist with obstacles such as this.

And some are so easy Susan Haughton , a broom, vacuum and some cleaning are always a good start

Scott oh yes we've had our share of really bad condition homes during the foreclosure crisis.  Smart investors have a team in place that go in clean up, update and rent or sale for a good profit. No brainer to me.

Hi Scott - Smart investor - and a smart agent. The dirtiest home I've ever seen had booties available for us to wear - and we did!

Scott, there is opportunity in all kinds of dirt.  When someone does not want to play to clean it ... someone else will ... for a price ... a much lower price.

Anna Banana Kruchten my cash buyers eat these dirty homes up. We are still seeing a good amount of homes that fits this category

What can I say, Scott? You lead a more interesting life than I do... and can't wait for the next horrific picture!

Many home investors, would look at that house and not see filth and cobwebs. They'd only see opportunity!

It is exactly what happens Mryl. Contractors seem to love it when they are dirty enough to scare everyone else off.
