Finding The Right Buyer For Your Stockton House

January 5, 2019

Who Will Buy My House in Stockton

As we usher in 2019 the real estate market has once again changed and like every year proceeding, the conditions in each market are driven by supply, demand and the local economy.

Finding the right buyer or even the right way for you to sell can be a challenge and for most people selling your house in Stockton can be a lot of work. It doesn’t have to be, but no one knows how long it will take let alone how much someone will actually offer?

There are so many variables to consider and sellers need to be aware that the three overriding factors that will ultimately dictate the price of their home is its location, the condition of the house and of course the price. These three factors will determine the best and most effective way to market and ultimately sell your house in any market.

There are a so many variables to consider when selling a house the traditional way. In our latest post, we will help you compare your selling options, helping you to find the right buyer for your Stockton house.

Your Options

No matter how many articles I have written on this subject, the condition, location, urgency, and type of home will all come in to play when you are deciding on the most advantageous way to sell your house. For some people, listing their house with a Stockton real estate agent makes the most sense because conventional wisdom is what they tend to follow. While for others, the thought of interviewing several real estate agents equates to wasted time and money and for them simply aren’t worth it.

When selling your Stockton house, you have at least three options;

you can choose to hire an agent to try to sell on your behalf,
sell the house on your own
opt for a fast and direct sale to a local cash buyer.

So how do you decide what to do? What is the best way and is the conventional wisdom of the day the best option for you?

Here is the basic checklist…

If your house needs a lot of work, if you don’t have the time to wait, or if you’d rather not gamble on the sale, selling your home directly to a cash home buyer could be the best way to go. Before committing to any selling method, take the time to run the numbers for your property, then decide which selling method is right for your Stockton house.

Running the Numbers and the Decision to Sell

No matter what you do to prepare for the decision to sell its important that you find the resources you need to make an informed decision. Selling a house is like any other major decision in your life and you need to assemble the best team possible to accomplish that.

Did you know that you can do most of it yourself for free?

Did you know that there are several companies waiting for you to call so that they can earn your business. Title Companies will run reports that show you Comparable Home Sales in your neighborhood For Free.

Call three Real Estate Agents and have them run Comparative Sales Reports.

Call your local Real Estate Investor and get an all cash offer.

Information is powerful and until you know what your house is worth you have work to do.

Things To Do If You List with a Real Estate Agent

The preparation for a successful listing requires a lot of work, planning and money and that needs to happen long before the house is listed on the MLS. An agent will want you will want you to make any repairs that negatively impact the buyers perception of your home.

You’ll want to look at other comparable houses listed in your neighborhood and examine what you can do to make your house stand out and compete. This might require some basic repairs or upgrades and maybe the addition of some features your house doesn’t have.

Take a look at the people buying in the area, and plan accordingly. If there are a lot of families currently buying, you could fence in the backyard. Or if there are more singles, and young couples, you could focus on the entertaining areas such as the kitchen and backyard. No matter who you are marketing to, it is best to have the house professionally cleaned before having photos taken or showings scheduled.

Many people choose to put a majority of their items in storage while the house is on the market. You can also enlist the help of a professional home staging company to help you make the house look as if it came out of the pages of a magazine. Doing all of this will require an investment up front, but it can all pay off in the long term if you find the right buyer for your Stockton house.

But remember this after you spend all of that money, Listing a house on MLS does not equate to Selling a house.

Benefits Of A Direct Sale to a Cash Buyer

For people who don’t want to spend the time and money with repairs upgrades and parading bus loads of people through their house by listing with a real estate agent, the best option may be is a direct sale to a reputable cash buyer. Westbrook REI buys homes in the Stockton area and beyond.

What Customers 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.

Leonard S

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.

Steve H

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.

Mike B

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.

Brenda T

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.

Cathy W

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.

Ann C

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.”
