How To Sell A House Fast (Just 5 Easy Steps)
Selling your house can be a daunting task, especially when you need it sold fast. By selling your house for cash, you can drastically speed things up. This guide will walk you through the entire process of selling your house for cash to a cash home buyer from start to finish.
Here’s What You’ll Need:
- Internet access or a phone
- A reliable form of communication like an email address or phone number
What Is A Cash Home Buyer?
A cash home buyer is any person, company or entity (usually a real estate investor), capable of buying your house in cash without the need for financial support from banks, lenders or other 3rd party financial institutions. As the purchaser is providing their own money, they are the final decision makers thus eliminating need for approvals or inspections from 3rd party institutions, drastically speeding up the transaction. Here are 5 easy steps to get your house in Jacksonville sold fast!
1. Find A Cash Home Buyer.
The most common method for finding cash home buyers is by doing a Google search for: “We Buy Houses [yourCity] [yourState]“, “Sell My House Fast [yourCity] [yourState], or “Cash For My House In [yourCity] [yourState], and choosing the top ranking results underneath the ads. The ad results often are not reliable or reputable as people simply pay to be on top. They are not on top because they are reputable.(Ads can be recognized by the letters “Ad” preceding the Google listing)
2. Do Your Due Diligence.
Not all cash home buyers are the same. The offer amount and thus the method used to arrive at your offer often differs significantly. For this reason you should go over their website, visit their “How It Works” page, their “About Us” and/or “Our Company” Page, and make sure there are credible reviews from real actual people that sold their house to them. What you are looking for is transparency, a neat, clean and professional polished website, clear explanations, and professionalism. The website is a direct reflection on them and their business. If a business owner doesn’t take pride in their website they don’t take pride in their business and may not be the wisest choice to do business with.
3. Submit Your Information.
Once you found a reputable house buyer, it is time to get your cash offer started by submitting your information. The information needed from you is 1) a reliable way to contact you (usually a phone number or email address), 2) the address and 3) some details on the current condition of the house and what repairs it needs, if any.
4. Schedule Your Appointment.
Once the information is received, an appointment can be scheduled where you can meet the buyer, and walk through the property together. You can ask them any questions you may have and by the end of the walkthrough your offer is presented and discussed. There should never be any costs associated for these services and the offer is a no obligation to accept offer. Most reputable property buyers understand that this is a critical time in your life and you have a big decision to make so more often than not, they would respect the need to think it over and you should have a cash offer friendly attorney look over the contract.
5. Schedule Your Closing Date. Get Your Cash!
If the offer presented is to your satisfaction, you can set a date for closing. During closing you will get the cash and that’s it. You sold your house for cash to a cash buyer successfully! Usually it is the cash buyer that will pay for all closing costs, making sure the transaction is as attractive as possible for you, the seller.

How We Make Our Offers To Buy Your Jacksonville FL Home
It’s In Our Best Interest To Give You Our Highest Possible Offer.
“Buying Jax Homes LLC” stays in business by getting offers accepted, and the only way to do that is to give offers you’ll be happy with! We truly do our best to give you the highest possible offer we can give. Now you know why we have such raving reviews! 🙂
Our Offers Are Based On Your Home’s “After Repair Market Value”!
This simply means, we look at what the value of your home would be, completely fixed up. Based on this value we will formulate your offer!
How Exactly?
Well, imagine you have a house that you want to sell…
Now, also imagine your neighbor, has the exact same, identical house as yours, except for a few upgrades he made… say, he added granite counter tops, removed wallpaper, applied a fresh coat of paint, put a new roof on, and put hardwood floors in.
Now Imagine he sold his house for $300K.
What Do We Know Now?
Well, we know, that If we make the same upgrades to your house (AFTER we buy it from you of course), bringing the house to a very similar condition as your neighbor’s house, we would also be able to sell it for $300K.
So,
We know the Market value of your house if we fixed it up (in this case $300K), and we know the cost of repairs/upgrades. We can now make an offer that works for us. If this offer also works for you, great we close and you get your money at closing! As you can see, we make offers based on the market numbers, not based on how desperate you may or may not be to sell.
The Offer:
All you math lovers out there, will appreciate this section. We value honesty and transparency. We have no issues sharing with you how exactly we formulate our offers.
[Your Offer] = [After Repair Value] – [Cost Of Repairs] – [Our Selling Costs] – [Our Minimum Profit]
But in order for you to understand this we need to define some terms.
After Repair Value (ARV): This is what the market value of your house will be AFTER we buy and renovate the house. Yup we are just like your favorite HGTV flipping show.
Cost Of Repairs (COR): This is what our cost will be fixing/updating the house AFTER we purchase it from you.
Our Selling Costs: Although we buy houses without involving agents, we on the other hand, have to use an agent to sell that house again AFTER we have purchased it from you and fixed it up. So we have to pay agent fees, closing costs, taxes, holding costs etc. These are all the fees you do NOT have to pay, if you sell your house directly to us ;). This is usually 10% all together of selling price. (Our Selling Cost = 10% x ARV)
Our Minimum Profit: Yeah, this IS a business after all, and we wouldn’t be able to stay in business, buy more houses, pay contractors, plumbers etc, if we didn’t make some sort of profit. However, we keep this to an absolute minimum so we can present you with the highest possible offer. See, our business model is structured around making many deals with a little profit per deal, and not a few deals with a huge profit per deal. This benefits all.
English Please!!
So what does this formula mean in plain English? Simply this:
The market value of the house (after we fix it up), minus ALL our costs fixing it up (including our profits), will be the offer. How simple is THAT! Congrats, now you are an expert at this! But want to be sure you understand it?
Let’s take an actual house we recently bought and share with you how it happened.
Let’s say this is your house in its current condition:
Not bad right? OK it could use a bit of sweet tender loving but not too shabby. It is just outdated…
Now remember, your neighbor with the exact same house as yours? He got a new roof, updated the kitchen and bathrooms, put granite in, removed carpets and put in hardwood flooring? Well, this is what his house looks like after he did the changes:
Well, no wonder he sold it for $300K, it is gorgeous! WOW!
In order for us to also be able to sell your house (well, our house after we buy it from you) for $300K, we need to bring your house to the same condition as the house of your neighbor, or better, so that we can also sell it for $300K!
Why?
Because we will not be able to sell the house in this current state for $300K when all the other houses that are currently for sale in your area look as gorgeous as your neighbor’s. Would you as a buyer be interested in buying a house in lesser condition for $300K when a much nicer house sells for the same price? No, of course not!
So an obvious next question you’d ask, would be:
OK, if the house after it is completely fixed and updated would sell for $300K, for how much would it sell as is?
Sell My House In Jacksonville For Cash Or Should I List It As Is?
Let’s say you contacted an agent and she/he says, that your house as is, in its current condition is worth $190K. Now you have contacted the most awesome, friendly, amazing, highest ranking house buyers in all of Jacksonville FL… (us.. duhhh)! If you have not,… well, shame on you, you really should!
We would come in, with our contractor and if we can, our agent. (We bring our contractor and our agent to the walkthrough, so that our agent tells our contractor what needs to be fixed (as he/she knows what buyers are currently looking for) and what does not need to be fixed (to save on the cost of repairs)).
Our agent: tells us, that we need granite countertops, because the neighbor across the fence that sold his house for $300K, also has granite, as well as hardwood floors, removing wallpaper, installing new appliances etc.
Our contractor: gives us an accurate COR (Cost Of Repairs). See, we know exactly what we will do to the house the second we are done with the walk-through and we have already completed the flip in our imagination and we know exactly what all the numbers will look like.
The more accurate these numbers the more accurate (and the higher) your offer will be! Let’s say our contractor gives us a cost of repairs of $70K.
Now We Are Ready To Make You An offer!
Here are the numbers:
As-Is Value = $190K
ARV (After Repair Value) = $300K
COR (Cost Of Repairs) = $70K
Our Selling Cost = 10% x $300K = $30K
Let’s say Our Minimum Profit For This Purchase = $40K
[Your Offer] = [ARV] – [COR] – [Our Selling Costs] – [Our Minimum Profit]
Your Offer = $300K – $70K – $30K – $40K = $160K
Your Offer = $160K
As you can see, we play by the numbers. We do not make offers based on how desperate you may or may not be. We don’t base offers on some percentage of the After Repaired Value (that is ludicrous). We simply add the numbers up trying our best to give you the highest possible offer we can make you, to make sure you will be happy, and thus to make sure the contract will be signed, so that we can get our next flip going! Makes sense doesn’t it!
Analyzing The Offer
So, the house is worth $190K as is, meaning if you listed it with an agent you could sell it for $190K. Yet after 6% agent fees and closing costs you would probably get about $174K for it, after it will be on the market for 4? 5? months! And no one can guarantee the house will actually sell.
So now you have to make a decision.
Sell it for a guaranteed sale for $160K in as little as 10-20 days, or a “maybe sale” for $174K hopefully within 4 to 5 months.
~Decisions, decisions..
BUT WAIT!!!
What If The Cost Of Repairs Was $30K Instead Of $70K?
Now things get interesting! Now the offer becomes:
As-Is Value = $190K
ARV (After Repair Value) = $300K
COR (Cost Of Repairs) = $30K
Our Selling Cost = 10% x $300K = $30K
Let’s say Our Minimum Profit For This Purchase = $40K
[Your Offer] = [After Repair Value] – [Cost Of Repairs] – [Our Selling Costs] – [Our Minimum Profit]
Your Offer = $300K – $30K -$30K – $40K = $200K
Yup! That is $10,000.00 MORE than what the house is currently worth, and almost $30K more than what you would get if you had listed it with an agent (remember that you would only get $174K after all listing and agent fees). Again, our offers are based on the numbers, not on how desperate you are to sell.
