Tips for long distance sale of a condo in Clarksville, TN?
I have a condo in Clarksville, TN (Governor's Crossing for those who live there) that I was renting out to a rent to own tenant. The tenant has moved out and I want to sell. I was planning to go up there but my job is keeping me here in AL (lower Alabama) and it's a 7 hour drive.
I'm looking into the best way to sell without having to be there and without an agent.
Things to figure out:
How will I get the keys to someone and who?
How will I check on the repairs I schedule?
How will I get a lockbox on the door?
Anything I'm missing?
I know the simplest answer is hire a great Realtor but I am looking for creative ways of leveraging mostly unskilled labor to drive costs down.
Anyone had any luck with hiring and trusting people from sites like wegolook, fiverr, up work, we work, etc.
Hi Ken,
I'm in Nashville (& a Broker, not looking for a listing, may be interested in purchasing) - please send me a message to discuss further. At the very least, I'd be glad to refer you to some reputable service providers to assist. I've got a full service handyman that I know personally/use/trust. Perhaps this is a direction you'd like to pursue -
Hi @Ken Danos,
I am not sure what your are looking for your price, but I would probably say your best bet is to hire an agent. Yes, I am an agent, but being an investor and knowing what all goes into selling properties for myself and my company, there are a lot of items to manage and by the time you get done I would imagine it would have cost the same.
That being said, I have found TAKL to be our best go to for getting stuff done, and the provide before and after pictures. I think the min. trip is going to be $45 or so for them. The lockbox is the easiest once you get it on there. Most investors use a simple tumbler lock that they can give the code out, this just requires you to answer the phone and setup showings. A few additional things you will need, home cleaning, possible initial repairs, a good photographer, a listing on the MLS (not always necessary, but it is helpful for exposure and there are websites that can help you do this for a small fee), a contract to work with those not working with an agent, a title company to work with, workers to perform post inspection repairs.
Would be happy to talk more, shoot me a message.
