“A distressed house is one that is usually a house that is advertised for sale AS IS or its being sold by its mortgagee as a Foreclosure. A Distressed House almost always refers to a house that is damaged or in poor physical condition due to the owner’s precarious financial situation”.

As a cash home buyer in Stockton, I frequently use the term “Distressed Housing” in articles that I have written to describe the condition of houses in the Sacramento, Stockton, Manteca and Modesto real estate markets that “we buy houses” in. When I use the term, it also relates to the situations that the homeowners are facing and the challenges that lie ahead in solving a multitude of home ownership and financial issues.

In fact the physical condition of the house itself points directly to the underlying financial condition of the vicious circle itself. When you have no money to address common and ongoing household issues, whether they are normal wear and tear, deferred maintenance, damage from acts of god, fire, water or just plain neglect, it make it difficult to do anything other than make a payment. Each of these conditions, together or separately create huge challenges for the homeowner and if the homeowner wants or needs to sell their house fast in Stockton, they will be met with immediate obstacles, and new financial burdens because the conventional template created by the marketing in the real estate industry is one that steers distressed sellers directly to real estate agents.

The problem is that real estate agents are not equipped to deal with the challenges that these houses pose because they are sellers and buyers agents and they are not purchasing the property outright. Unlike real estate investors that pay cash for distressed houses in Stockton, real estate agents will tell you what you need to do to get the house ready for sale. Their plan usually cost thousands of dollars and the results are never guaranteed.

When you consider that over 40% of all real estate listings do not sell within the initial listing period and take into account that the average listing agreement is 6 months it amounts to a huge but unspoken failure by real estate agents throughout the region. When listings expire, it’s the homeowner that has lost time and real money in the form of holding cost for the expenses associated with a house that they want and need to get out from underneath.

One of the real nuances in real estate is the immediate knee jerk reaction by real estate agents to treat all houses as a one size fits all business with the same conventional solutions for every house and every homeowner regardless of the situation. But no two situations are the same and sometimes the solutions offered just don’t benefit the homeowner at all. Sometimes the text book solutions offered by real estate agents are actually commission driven rather than solutions oriented. Often times that old adage that “you need to spend money to make money” is just not true.

So how is a homeowner supposed to sell a distressed house in Stockton if it doesn’t entail calling a real estate agent? How can a seller maximize their return on investment?

I would argue that you need to target the “right buyers” and that means enlisting the help of Cash Home Buyers, Real Estate Investors and the We buy Houses Stockton people that seem to be everywhere.

Hear What Others Have To Say…

The City of Stockton was getting ready to tear down my old house. I was no longer able to maintain the Stockton House and after years of trying to keep up with code violations, needed repairs and vandalism, I finally called Peter

Westbrook. He came right out and told me what he could do. He contacted the city and county and even cleaned up the property before he bought it. He paid the back taxes for me and gave me an advance on the purchase of the house. Without his help I would have lost everything. I called real estate agents and other investors but no one wanted to help and no one offered to pay as much as Peter Westbrook. He completely remodeled the house and I smile every time I go by. Thank you Peter.

We inherited our parents house with one of our brothers living there . The property taxes had not been paid and it was in Tax default. We called Peter Westbrook and he found that the title was still in our parents name, so the Stockton House never went through probate. Peter also found that there was an old auto loan that had a lien on the

title and an old bankruptcy ruling to take care of that lien had never been filed with the courts. Peter handled everything including paying the back taxes, paying for the hiring a Probate Attorney and filing the probate and paying for and hiring a Bankruptcy Attorney to finalize the removal of the lien. He was patient, understanding and he took care of everything including evicting the tenants that were living in the house. We talked to real estate agents and other I buy house people. None of them had the answers for our situation. Without peter we would have lost everything. We got paid cash.

We inherited my parents Stockton house with a mortgage. We decided to rent it out. The tenants destroyed the house. I didn’t know what to do, I didn’t have the money to fix it and the city had already issued code violations.. I called an “I Buy Houses Stockton Sign” on a telephone pole and Peter Westbrook answered. In 4 days he paid the bank and bought my house. We would have lost everything if it weren’t for Peter Westbrook.

I inherited my mothers house with a mortgage. When my husband and I lost our jobs, we got behind in payments. Then the Bank posted a default with a auction date we didn’t know what to do.

We didn’t have the $15,000.00 and we only had two weeks to do something. We called Peter Westbrook and form the beginning he was confident he could stop the bank. Within 4 days he bought the house with cash, paid off the bank and stopped the Foreclosure. Without Peter we would have lost everything.

I saw a sign on a telephone pole and against my better judgement I called. The last thing I expected was a person answering the phone. I was surprised, Peter Westbrook answered the phone. I had a lot of questions and Peter had the right answers. My mother needed to get as much as possible out of the house and we had talked to several real estate agents and they all wanted to sell it cheap and wanted a 6% commission. They all told us unless we put thousands of dollars into it could not be sold for what we wanted. Not Peter. He made a fair cash offer and since then we have sold him another house. Peter and the title company handled everything. I couldn’t be happier and I would recommend Peter Westbrook to anyone.

I needed to sell my Stockton House. I called a phone number I saw on a sign and talked to Peter Westbrook. The City of Stockton said that they were going to take away my vacant Stockton house, knock it down and send me the

bill to do it. I did everything that I could to try to make them happy. A neighbor offered to buy the house and then Peter offered me twice as much. He did everything he said he would do and I just had to go to the Title Company and sign the papers. He did all of the work and now the City of Stockton is his problem. Thank you Peter.

I inherited my Fathers Stockton house. The front porch was falling in, the walls had holes from being vacant and vandalized. The City of Stockton fined us, red tagged the property and forced us to put on a new roof so we had to get loans and we still couldn’t rent it out.

I called one of those “I Buy Houses” signs and Peter Westbrook came out and made a cash offer. The House closed escrow and we got our money for a house we though was worthless. Thanks Peter!”

“Our Grandfather passed away and my brother, sister and I inherited his Stockton house. He was a junkman and hoarder. He was also 90 years old and had not made a repair to the house in years. He had garage sales almost every day. The house and the yard were full of junk. We tried to get everything out so we could just see the house. We had family and friends come over on the weekends but the cost and effort was consuming all of our time.The house was a mess.

I called Peter Westbrook and he made us a cash offer for the house and he said he would take care of all of the clean up. Thank God I called. The City had issued code violations and fines on the property and even before we closed escrow Peter and his crew had the house and yard cleaned (4 large Dumpsters later) . I recommend Peter Westbrook to anyone that has a problem house. They were fast and professional”

“I had tried to sell my Mothers Stockton house for two years. Realtor’s told me to tear it down. I didn’t have the money for that and my Brother and his family were living there. Peter Westbrook made me a cash offer and closed escrow with my brother still in the house. Peter Westbrook is my savior. I don’t have to worry about the house any more. If you have a Stockton house that has become a burden and you don’t have the money to fix it to sell it, call Peter Westbrook.”
