Planning to make some repairs to your home?

Well, most people spend a lot of time talking about the repairs and updates you should make to modernize your home and get it to sell for top-dollar…

But what about the repairs you should AVOID?

After all, some repairs are so expensive that they’re not even worth tackling… and you might be better off just selling your home to a professional home buyer.

Here are a few examples...

Unstable Foundation — This is one of the most expensive things that can happen to a home. The foundation sinks or settles, making the rest of the home structurally unsound. Fixing this can cost upwards of $10,000. But the longer you wait, the more expensive it’ll be.

Roof Replacement — You’re probably not surprised that replacing a roof isn’t as simple as calling your local handyman and hoping for the best. This typically costs between $5,000 and $10,000 and the high-end can get up to $40,000. Yikes, huh?

Water Damage — This is another expensive and common (unfortunately) thing to fix in a home. And the longer that water damage sits without being repaired, or without the cause being addressed, the damage will continue to increase. The average repair cost is about $3,000.

Mold removal, HVAC replacement, electrical rewiring, and termite damage are a few other examples of expensive repairs that might cost more than they’re worth.

If you want to sell your home instead of dealing with high-cost repairs, give us a call at (920) 890-8060. We can buy your home for cash and close in as little as two weeks!

Is it time to bite the bullet and sell your rental property?

From managing tenants to paying for repairs, owning a rental property can sometimes end up being more work than it’s worth (especially if your tenants aren’t respecting the property).

But selling the property is so final…

Is it really time to sell your rental property?

Well, we’ve worked in the Northeast Wisconsin real estate market for quite a while.

Here are a few signs that it’s time to sell your rental property...

The Property is Fully Depreciated — Depreciation allows you to deduct improvement expenses on the home. But it’s not infinite. Once this is exhausted, it might be a good time to sell the house.

You Have Substantial Equity — More equity means more money in your pocket when you sell. You could then turn that cash into other better investments.

You Have Negative Cashflow — Losing money every month on your rental property is probably the single best reason to sell quickly. Rental homes should be making you money… not costing you money.

The House is Outdated Or in Disrepair — At some point, repairing or updating a rental property can become too expensive and time-consuming. If that’s the case, consider selling to a professional home buyer like us over at Sunset Bay Properties!

By the way, at Sunset Bay Properties, we can purchase your rental property as-is for cash and close in just a couple of weeks. Give us a call at (920) 890-8060 to learn more!

Have you been getting mail, calls, and/or text messages about selling your home?

If you didn’t have any plans to sell your house, then this can be a little bit confusing — why are people contacting you about this? What is their motivation?

Well, this is actually more common than you might think.

Real estate investors pull big lists of addresses and send mail to people who they think might be interested in selling. This doesn’t, of course, mean that you’re obligated to sell to any of these investors (and don’t let them make you think otherwise).

But if you are interested in selling your house fast for cash to an investor who’s reached out to you, then vet their company to make sure they operate with integrity…

Give Them a Call — Call them and ask them questions about their process. Do they seem honest and straightforward or are they just trying to pressure you?

Google Their Business — What do you find when you Google their business? Look at the reviews!

Do They Follow Through? — When the investor schedules a meeting with you, do they show up on time? Do they do what they say they’re going to do? These are good indicators of how easy the investor will be to work with.

At Sunset Bay Properties, we’ve been working for quite some time in the Northeast Wisconsin area… and we hold ourselves to very high standards. We’re happy to answer any questions you have about our process for selling your home fast for cash (we can close in as little as two weeks) — just give us a call at (920) 890-8060!

At Sunset Bay Properties, we’ve been buying homes for cash for a while in Northeast Wisconsin.

And naturally, we get a LOT of questions.

Most homeowners aren’t familiar with selling to professional cash buyers and so they ask a lot of questions up front — which is good!

For people who might be curious but have never got around to asking… we thought we’d take a moment to answer some of the most commonly asked questions.

Here you go!

“Do you list my house on the MLS?” — Nope! As professional cash buyers, we’ll either buy the property ourselves or flip it to another cash buyer or rehabber. We don’t use real estate agents or list homes on the MLS.

“How do you determine what to pay for my house?” — We’ve been buying property in Northeast Wisconsin for quite some time… so we know how to run professional comps on a property. Things that are factored into an offer include location, repairs needed, and condition of the property. We’re always happy to explain why our offer is what it is.

“Do you charge fees or commission?” — Nope! There are absolutely no fees, no commissions, and no closing costs for you to pay. We’ll take care of everything and we’ll even buy your property as-is.

“How fast can you sell?” — We can make you a fair cash offer (no obligation) within 48 hours and close in as little as two weeks. You pick the closing date.

Hopefully that clears the air a bit :)

If you have additional questions or want to get a fair cash offer on your property, give us a call at (920) 890-8060!

Thinking of selling your home to a professional cash buyer?

At Sunset Bay Properties, we’ve helped a lot of homeowners just like you in Northeast Wisconsin sell their property fast, as-is, and for a fair cash price.

It’s been great!

BUT…

We also understand that our service isn’t for every home owner.

So we thought we’d take a moment to share the pros and cons of working with a professional home buyer.

Here they are!

PROS

You can sell your home “as-is” — The biggest advantage of working with a professional home buyer is that you can sell your property in its current condition. You don’t have to make any repairs or renovations whatsoever, saving time and money on the front end.

Sell your house in weeks — When you work with a professional home buyer, the sale process is typically much faster than if you were to list your home on the open market. We can usually close on a property in as little as two weeks!

CONS

You might not get “top dollar” — Since you’ll be selling your home as-is in just a couple of weeks, that means we’ll be taking care of all repairs and improvements to get the property back up to its market value. So you won’t get as much money for it as you would if you made all of those repairs and renovations yourself.

You can’t control who buys your home — We work with a lot of different cash buyers and you won’t have control over who buys your home. But that’s not much different than working with a real estate agent. At least you won’t have to deal with strangers coming into your home or being present during showings!

Hope that helps!

Have a dust mite allergy?

Symptoms include…

Sneezing
Coughing
Runny nose
Stuffy nose
Watery eyes
Itchy eyes
Itchy throat
Itchy skin
Chest pain

We’ve seen a lot of properties in our time buying and selling real estate in Northeast Wisconsin... and virtually all of them have dust mites (it’s just a matter of how many).

So we thought we’d offer some quick tips for reducing the amount of dust mites in a house.

Humidity — Dust mites are found pretty much everywhere, but the higher humidity, the more dust mites there will typically be. That’s why it’s recommended to use a dehumidifier, run the air conditioning, and improve the ventilation of your home by installing exhaust fans, ceiling fans, and soffit vents in the attic.

Gravity — Dust mites are tiny particles, but that doesn’t make them immune to the pull of gravity. They’ll settle on fabrics, pillows, bedding, and furniture. The possible solutions for this are to replace carpet with hardwood floors, mop and vacuum often, dust with a damp cloth, wash bedding in hot water, and use a HEPA air purifier in your home.

Pets — Not only can pets also suffer from dust mite allergies, but they can contribute to the problem as well. Possible solutions include washing all bedding and toys, using synthetic materials for bedding, frequent bathing, not leaving pet food out all day, and regular vet visits.

That should give you a head start on pesky dust mites.

Oh — and if you or someone you know ever wants to sell their house fast for cash, give us a call at (920) 890-8060 to get a fair as-is cash offer!

Are you trying to sell your home at a bad time of year?

You might not know this, but real estate markets fluctuate significantly from season to season, month to month, and even year to year.

And we’re not just talking about the nationwide market, but even our market locally here in Northeast Wisconsin fluctuates dramatically.

Sometimes, bigger homes sell. Other times, small homes are in high demand. And still other times, selling is just plain hard.

At Sunset Bay Properties, we keep our fingers on the pulse of Northeast Wisconsin’s market.

And if you’re struggling to sell your home, it might just be because it’s a bad time, or even a good time, but your house may not be in high demand.

Here are some things you might consider doing…

Wait Until The Market Improves — If your home isn’t selling in the current market, you can always just wait until it improves. The market will always have highs and lows, so if you’re not on a tight schedule to sell, then this is certainly an option.

Lower Your Asking Price — When there is a lack of demand for the type of home that you’re selling, lowering your asking price is one simple way to increase your chances of closing the deal. The bummer here, of course, is that you might not get as much money as you were hoping you would.

Sell to a Professional Homebuyer — You might not know this, but you can also sell to a professional homebuyer like us over at Sunset Bay Properties. We can pay cash for your home, buy it as-is, and close in as little as two weeks. You can give us a call at (920) 890-8060 to get your fair cash offer!

When you’re buying a home, how can you tell if you got a good deal or not?

Real estate agents might say it’s a good deal…

The seller might say it’s a good deal…

But is there a way that you can run the numbers for yourself?

Well, at Sunset Bay Properties, we’ve been buying and selling real estate in Northeast Wisconsin for a long time now… and we’re pretty darn familiar with the market here.

In fact, the success of our business requires that we always run the numbers on properties to make sure that we’re staying profitable.

Want to know how we do it so you can do it, too?

Here’s the gist!

Determine Fair Sales Price — The easiest way to determine the market value of a home is to look at the sales price of other similar properties in the neighborhood that have sold within the last 3 to 6 months. The more recently they’ve sold and the more similar they are (in quality, square footage, location, and number of beds/baths), the more accurate their sales price will be for determining another property’s real value.

Deduct Cost of Repairs, Updates, Etc. — If the property you’re buying needs a lot of repairs or updates, then it’s important to deduct those costs from the fair sales price you came up with.

Consider Agent Commissions — Also consider agent commissions and closing costs. These will make a big difference in whether you get a good deal or not.

Hope that helps!

If you have a house that you want to sell fast, give us a call at (920) 890-8060. We can make you a fair cash offer, purchase your home as-is, and close in as little as two weeks!

Being a landlord isn’t everything it’s cracked up to be…

It seemed like such a good idea at first — you’d own one additional property, manage tenants, and make some extra cash every month.

Why not?

But then it became EXTREMELY DIFFICULT to find trustworthy tenants… repairs got out of hand… and let’s not even get started on the yard work.

It’s frustrating and exhausting...

Fortunately, you are NOT out of options. Here are some things to consider…

Interview ALL Potential Tenants — If you want to keep your property, fix it up, and rent it out, we highly recommend creating an interview process to vet ALL potential tenants. Don’t take people at face value and don’t say “yes” out of desperation. Require proof of good credit and at least one good letter of recommendation.

Hire a Property Management Company — If you don’t want to manage the property yourself but you still want to own it and potentially make a little money every month, consider hiring a trustworthy property management company. The downside is that doing this will cut into your monthly profit. The upside is that a good property management company will handle repairs, finding tenants, and lots of other things.

Sell To a Professional Home Buyer — Maybe you’re altogether ready to quit being a landlord; we totally understand. If that’s the case, give us a call (920) 890-8060. We buy houses fast for cash (we can close within just a few weeks) and we can even evict your tenants for you if you want to avoid doing that. Let’s chat!

Trying to sell a home with a torn-up yard?

We get it…

For better or worse, the first thing that buyers see — before they even walk in your house — is the lawn.

And if that yard leaves a bad first impression, it can make potential buyers walk away without a second-glance.

Fortunately, that’s not how the story has to end.

If you’re trying to sell a home with a less-than-pretty yard, here are some things you can do.

Fix The Lawn — If you have time and money to spend on fixing up the lawn, then this is your first option. Pull up weeds, mow, and re-seed the lawn where necessary. But be aware that it can take up to a month or more for your yard to get looking like it needs to.

Purchase Turf Grass or Sod — This option is certainly quicker than trying to repair your lawn, but it also can be quite expensive. It costs between $5 and $20 per square foot. A definitely hefty budget will be necessary to make this happen.

Sell To a Professional Homebuyer — If you don’t want to worry about repairing your lawn and you don’t want to pay for expensive turf grass, you might just consider selling to a professional homebuyer like us. At Sunset Bay Properties, we buy houses as-is for cash and we can close in as little as two weeks. Give us a call if you want to hear our offer! (920) 890-8060
