Why Should I Sell My House to You?

May 8, 2019

When talking to people who are trying to sell their house I’m often asked the question, “Why should I sell my house to you?”

That’s a great question and Before I answer I think that today’s homeowner has Three Great Options:

They can list their house with a real estate agent
They can try to sell the house themselves or
They can sell their house to a real estate investor.

None of these choices is necessarily better than the others. Each has their own advantages and disadvantages. But an all cash sale is the one that takes all of the guesswork out of the process. As I explain each of the house selling scenarios you’ll quickly recognize the advantages of each.

But what if I told you that I can pay cash, I can close on the date of your choosing, you wont have to clean or fix your house and I will pay for all of the closing cost? What would you think if I told you that you dont need to pay a real estate agent a commission and that the Title Company will do all of the paperwork. Finally what would you say if my all cash offer was fair market value minus the cost of the repairs?

What if I told you that selling to me was a Zero Net Gain or loss compared to using hiring a real estate agent and a contractor. Oh by the way you dont pay me a commission and you dont have to manage me or the process. No Contractors, no meetings to pick out flooring or tile and best of all you dont need to spend tens of thousands of dollars that you may never get back. All we do is pick a date to sign and the Title Company gives you a check or wires you the funds.

I know… pretty good huh. But you are thinking… What and Where is the catch. I am going to say that maybe the Conventional Wisdom of the real estate world has taken hold. Maybe you are just used to doing things their way… After all, if you want you can spend tens of thousands of dollars for the privilege of cleaning and fixing your house, cing a sign in the yard and having a parade of people through your house and hope that one or more make an offer without financing and will not want you to fix anything and close on the day of your choosing…. Good Luck with that.

Here is what I say when asked Why Should I sell My House to You:

1. I’m fast. In many cases, sellers want to get their house sold quickly. Maybe they’re facing foreclosure or they’re settling a divorce. Sometimes the seller has moved because of a job and needs to sell the house quickly to avoid two mortgage payments. Or someone might have inherited a house and they can’t afford to or don’t want the aggravation of dealing with the repairs and marketing necessary to sell the house.

Most people who try selling their house themselves or through a real estate agent often find that it is anything but a “fast” process and in most cases they unnecessarily tie up their house with a listing agreement for at least 3 months. Unless you are willing to spend a lot of money to fix your house and sell your house at a significantly reduced price, in today’s real estate market you could find yourself waiting 6 to 18 months before you even receive an offer.

On the other hand, because I’m a Cash Home Buyer in Stockton with private funds I can often close a house purchase in 30 days or less.

2. My offers are flexible. I make my offer according to the seller’s needs. If the seller wants to close quickly, then I can accommodate. If the seller wants cash all at once or a monthly cash flow, I can do those, too. I can also make up past payments and take over current payments to immediately relieve money burdens on the seller.

I can be a lot more flexible with my offers than the “traditional” offers, sellers typically receive. That’s because I’m a CASH HOME BUYER IN Sacramento and I am not subject to Banking Regulations which follow lots of rules. I’m also aware of possible creative solutions to meet seller’s needs that the conventional buyer wouldn’t think of.

3. I’m open-minded. I might buy someone’s house when no one else will. In many cases, I buy houses that have fire damage, termites, mold, foundation problems, roof problems or that need major repairs. Houses with these conditions scare most buyers and real estate agents hate listing them because they know such houses just sit on the market and clog the MLS system.

I enjoy talking to sellers with houses like these because I can see the house’s potential value after all the repairs are made. I’m also not worried about extensive repairs as long as the after-repaired-value of the house justifies the expenses.

So, back to the Original Question… “Why should I sell my House to you?” I don’t know that you will, I am just one piece of the puzzle and I encourage sellers to investigate all avenues of getting their house sold in the way that best meets their needs. If they decide that working with me to buy their house makes the most sense, then I’m more than happy to help.

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”

Connie J.

“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.”
