Com. adlib thanks for joining us this morning. Dont forget we are always Shawn Tempesta welcome to the Morning Blend extra. Im Shawn Tempesta. Now, does your home need a major repair or do you need to quickly sell your home for cash . Well, real estate expert, investor and broker for first prime realty group, lathe levada, is back and hes here to show us how you can sell your home for cash. Its great having you. Lathe levada thank you. Shawn lets talk about this. You buy homes. What types of homes do you buy and what types of sellers do you buy from . Lathe i buy unwanted homes from sellers who need to sell quickly. Generally, these sellers, these homes have massive repairs or the seller is facing some sort of hardship, such as a divorce, they own an unwanted rental property, and they live out of state, or someones passed away in the family and theyve inherited a property and they just need to sell that property. Shawn now, lets say they had a home that they wanted to be able to sell. Why would they sell to you as opposed to doing any other method . Lathe well, i buy homes that generally need thousands of dollars of repair. Shawn yeah. Lathe so the homeowner is unable to complete those repairs, and typically a cash buyer like myself is one of the only buyers that could purchase that house and repairs. The normal loan buyer cant buy those or dont want to buy those typically. Shawn they dont have the cash on hand to do that. Lathe exactly. With stringent guidelines, theyre not able to buy these sorts of homes so a cash buyer like myself needs to come in and purchase those homes. Shawn so take us through the process. You buy a home, what happens to it next . Lathe well, the homes that i buy generally, i will either hold as Long Term Rental Properties in my portfolio after the repairs and put the home back on the market for resale so that a loan buyer can go ahead and purchase the property at that point. This is a winwin, and i like all my deals to be winwin deals. I enjoy buying these homes because i get to help out homeowners in bad situations. Shawn of course. These are homeowners that need a resolution relatively quickly. And youre kind of that knight in shining armor. Thats what he is. I like that. The seller, do they have to pay the Real Estate Commission . Shawn there is no Real Estate Commissions on the homes i buy for cash. Shawn okay. Pay for the sellers Closing Costs, ordinary Closing Costs at close of escrow. Shawn wow. Lathe these are asis transactions. The seller doesnt have to make any costly repairs or fixups on the property. Its really truly meant for those sellers who want to sell quickly, get their cash out, and move on. Shawn how quickly are we talking here for a purchase . Lathe ive purchased homes with cash in under three days before. Shawn no kidding . Lathe yeah. Shawn wow. Thats way, way faster than your to put it on the mls. That can really for somebody thats in a rush, thats perfect. Yeah, its quick but its based on the sellers time frame, not mine. Lathe of course. Lathe so every situation is unique. Every seller is different so we want to make sure that were not rushing that seller. If they need more time, we give it to them. Shawn so how can a homeowner then find out whether or not your home is one of the homes they would maybe. You would like to purchase . Shawn well, the process is simple. They just give my office a call, and ill do a 24hour, no obligation cash offer, well do an evaluation of the home. Thats the first step. The second step would be agreeing to a purchase price, drawing up a Purchase Agreement and the third step would be finalizing the transaction at a third Party ClosingCompany Title and Closing Company so they can get their cash profits and move on. Shawn that is like the easiest home sale ever. Lathe yeah. Shawn its fantastic. If people want to be able to reach out, how do they do so . Lathe they can call my office at the 702 4762000. Thats really the best way and down and go over the condition of the home and what it is that the homeowner wants as far as profit out of the home and just come to an agreeable sales price that we can close on.
