Sell Inherited Virginia Houses for Cash!

Avoid Repair Nightmares – Sell Inherited Virginia Houses for Cash!

Home repair. It’s a lot less fun than it sounds, and to be honest, it really isn’t any fun at all especially when the home repair you are doing isn’t for the home you plan to keep living in. Inheriting a house can be a great opportunity for change, but if you don’t plan to make the move, it can also be a huge hindrance. Your best option might be to sell your Virginia house fast. If you’re living in Virginia and Washington DC area and you are hoping to sell your inherited home before it can make a dent in too much of your time—and in your bank account—then you’re in luck; you can avoid the home repair nightmare by selling your home for cash.

Two reasons to sell your inherited home as fast as you can

1) Renovations can be costly.

It isn’t very likely that the house you are inheriting is resale ready, and renovations can be time-consuming, not to mention costly. In order to get your inheritance ready to hit the home-buyer’s market, you are probably looking at some extensive beautification—in fact, you may need to invest a good chunk of cash just to bring it into the modern era. This is to be expected, but the problem is that renovations can lead you to issues with the home that are a lot bigger than those aesthetic quirks. The house may have issues with the foundation, roof, plumbing, or wiring; it may need an updated heating system to bring it up to code, or it may have asbestos in the walls or ceiling. Once you start making repairs, you can run into a lot of serious problems that can really start to add up. If you want to sell your house fast, you don’t want to run the risk of uncovering a series of problems that will drag out the renovation process while eating into your potential profit. Sell your Virginia and Washington DC home for cash and avoid the nightmare of home repair.

2) Paying Two Mortgages

When selling any home, you want it to sell fast—not just because you want it out of your hair quickly, but because there are financial advantages to moving the house in and out of the market. If you’re currently paying a mortgage or renting a home and now all of the sudden you are stuck with paying an additional mortgage on an inherited home, that can be a problem. Also, the longer it sits vacant or on the market, the lower the value gets, and the more effort you’ll have to put into keeping the home clean, maintained, and presentable. Staging the home is everything, but it also involves a lot of work—like continuous vacuuming, dusting, tidying, and air freshening. You don’t want the home to get musty while it’s waiting for its new owners. It needs to look and feel lived-in, well-kept, and comfortable—inside and out. Of course, this takes a lot of work, time, and money. If you want to avoid all that staging drama and paying two mortgages, sell your house fast and for cash to a trusted house buying company in Virginia.
