Sell your home for top dollar in 30 days plus save thousands in fees and expenses
by Jeff Beaubien
I am frequently asked, "Jeff, is there anything you can do to help me sell my home? It's been on the market for a long time and there just isn't any interest in it." My answer to that question is a resounding YES! But only if you can be ready to move fast and would like to sell it for your full asking price (their eyes light up with excitement).

"...and I actually DO that!" |
|
I often see homes while driving through my neighborhood that have been for sale for a long period of time. These are either homes for sale by a realtor or by owner. Every time I drive by I am tempted to pull into their driveway, knock on their front door, and ask the seller if they would be interested in selling their house for full price within a matter of weeks -- and I actually DO that!
You would be amazed at some of the responses I get from folks. They often look at me like I just beamed down from my mothership and quickly check my holster area to see if I brought my death-ray gun.
After about 20 seconds of explaining that I mean them no harm, I proceed to tell them exactly how I can guarantee success in such a short period of time.
More importantly, when I've PROVEN to them how quick and easy it is to use the Lease 2 Purchase contract to sell their home, they are believers for life. One of my former clients even sends me a new fancy pen every year during the holidays. I love this business!
If you're interested in selling your home lightning fast, and for top dollar, here are the nuts and bolts...

"...if you can live with $5,000 to $20,000..." |
|
The Lease 2 Purchase contract will NOT work for sellers who need large amounts of cash up front. This is what I mean by "large amounts of cash up front..." if you can live with $5,000 to $20,000 cash right now, and wait for the rest of your profit for a period of 6 to 12 months, the Lease 2 Purchase contract is exactly what you need.
Let's say your home has been on the market for 6 months with no offers.
You're frustrated so you decide to change your terms a little and offer your home for sale on a Lease 2 Purchase. This opens your doors to the largest market of eager buyers anywhere.
Along comes Bob the Buyer who is self employed. He was turned down by XYZ mortgage company because he needed to be self-employed for at lease 6 more months.
Bob the Buyer pays all of his bills on time, earns a great income, and is very responsible -- but he can't get a mortgage to save his life. Bob the Buyer is dumfounded at his predicament and is tired of throwing money away on rent.
Bob sees your ad in the paper and calls you to make an appointment to come see your house. He loves it and wants to buy it! Yay!
|
"...willing to pay you full price..." |
|
Since you're flexible on terms and are offering a tremendous value, Bob is willing to pay you full price for your home. He is able to put $5,000 down, pay you more money per month than your mortgage costs you, and he agrees to buy the home from you in 6 months. You draw up the paperwork, get the cash and close the deal.
Now you've got a non-refundable option deposit of $5,000, a positive monthly cash flow, a written sales agreement for FULL asking price on your home within 6 months... PLUS you maintain your tax shelter by remaining on the deed, and there will be no maintenance or landlording headaches since Bob will take care of the home as if it were his own!
You might be wondering, what if Bob decides not to buy your home? GREAT! I love it when that happens! You get to keep Bob's $5,000 option deposit PLUS you get to put your home back on the market so you can collect another large option deposit -- and probably even increase your sales price!
And don't forget, when you sell your home by yourself, you save 6-10% in real estate commissions. This often adds up to tens of thousands of dollars in savings! You simply cannot lose!
I do this all the time and so can you!
