No. Dependable Homebuyers will purchase your home in the current condition. This could mean a moldy basement, boxes of unwanted items, broken appliances, or a bathroom that hasn’t been updated in years. In fact, we love buying ugly homes that need work!

Listing with a real estate agent allows you to put your home on the MLS, but this comes with heavy real estate agent fees. To save on these fees you can list your home For Sale By Owner but this means you’ll need to handle all your own marketing, negotiating, legal documents, repairs, and wait months before finally finding a buyer. Another option is to sell to a professional home buying company like Dependable Homebuyers. We handle all the details so all you have to do is show up at closing and walk away with a check!

When you list with a Newport News real estate agent it typically takes anywhere between 3-12 months to sell a house. This can vary based on the time of year, competitiveness of the market, and the desirability of your home. During this time you will have buyers touring your Newport News home and you’ll need to make sure that your home is continuously cleaned and organized. After receiving the contract you’ll have 45 days in which the buyers will conduct inspections, appraisals and go through underwriting for their loan. If for any reasons the buyers decide to back out then you’ll be back at square one, having to relist and find a new buyer.

Your other option is to sell to a home buying company like Dependable Homebuyers. These companies can purchase your home in as little as 7 days. No inspections, no appraisals, and best of all… no buyers touring your home for months on end.

Selling your Newport News property while you have a mortgage is quite common. Having a mortgage simply means that you still owe money to your lender. When you sell your Newport News home the proceeds will be used to pay off your mortgage and the rest goes into your pocket.

Selling your Newport News property is still possible, even if you owe more to the bank than it is worth. Sometimes we will purchase your home directly while other times we may recommend a short sale. A short sale is where you negotiate with the lender to accept a lower amount than what is owed.

Give us a call at (757) 296-8067 and would be happy to explain the process. If you decide to work with us then we would guide you through the entire process so that the sale of your home is handled smoothly and professionally.

Most Newport News sellers want to know who is going to pay the transaction (also called “closing”) costs? Even if there are are no real estate agents involved in the sale, there are other costs that simply can’t be avoided. These costs include title company fees, Newport News transfer and recordation taxes, title Insurance, survey fees, and so on.

When you sell your home to Dependable Homebuyers you pay no closing costs. Our offers cover all of these costs so the amount you are offered is the amount you walk away with at the closing table.

When you are behind on payments your lender will notify you that you are in default and create a lien against your Newport News home. At this point you have a limited time to sell your Newport News house before it is taken away and you lose everything. But don’t worry, you have options. A local home buying company like Dependable Homebuyers can purchase your home in as little as 7 days so that you stop racking up the late fees and get to walk away with as much money as possible.

An “as is” home sale is where the Newport News homeowner does not make any repairs to his or her property when selling. The person or company buying the property accepts the “as is” condition of the property. No inspections are conducted and any issues are inherited by the buyer.

Dependable Homebuyers purchases homes in Newport News AS IS, no matter the condition. Leaking roof or flooded basement? Doesn’t matter. We’ll buy your house “as is” with no repairs necessary.

Not only can you sell a house without a real estate agent, you should! Newport News real estate agents are expensive and typically cost you 6% of the sale price in a commission. You’d think for this price they’d guarantee a sale, but they can only promise to try their best. Instead of contacting a Realtor you should consider contacting a home buying company instead. Companies like Dependable Homebuyers can guarantee the sale of your home because they’re the ones who will be buying it. No only are you guaranteed a sale, but you also don’t pay any real estate commissions!
