• The overall fee structures are not clearly explained to the customers making the seller vulnerable to unknown costs.

When to use a quick house sale company?

• The answer to this question depends on what is the level of urgency for you to sell your house fast and what are your priorities. Before this, you also need to ensure that you have tried the possibilities of selling your house through other alternatives like:
• Opt for a traditional local estate agent. Have a check and get an idea about a possible quote about the price that he/she could get you for a quick sale. This will help you get a fair idea about how much to quote or to expect during a deal through a quick house sale company. Generally, quick sale companies ask for a 25% discount.
• Try to negotiate the payments with your mortgage company. If a financial struggle of repayments of mortgage loans is the reason you are trying to sell off your property, then try talking to the lender about the various other options other than selling your house off and request for a change in the way your mortgage is paid off.
• If paying up for your long-term care is the reason you are planning to sell off your home, then ensure that you have considered all other alternatives to self-fund your care. Also, get a consultation from a financial expert who can advise you independently in the field of funding long-term care.
