If you are looking to sell a home that is 10 years or older issues can come up. Trying to determine if you should sell the retail route or sell your home for cash can be a hard choice. Many times these older homes will fail inspections and need to be brought up to current code costing the home owner a lot of money. Check out our whole series on getting older houses ready to sell. Going the retail route you may need to make these repairs yourself. Some lenders will not even approve the loan with outdated HVAC, roofs, or electrical systems. Sometimes finding someone that can buy your home for cash with 2 weeks to close is the best option.
We do offer both services since we are licensed. We are one of the few “we buy houses” companies that is able to give you multiple options to sell your home that best fits your situation.
Transcription:Hey, guys. Today, we’re talking about house maintenance, which would be keeping your gutters clean and what can happen with the damage that comes from that. I’m going to show you … You can kind of see over in my corner, these gutters are a little bit full and need to be emptied, and I’ll show you what happened because of this.
This is obviously not a part of the house with a gutter, but it’s kind of the easiest way to show you the damage. You can get a lot of soffit and fascia damage from something like that. It’s usually improperly installed flashing, which there may be a problem up there, or just gutters need to be emptied out. Again, this part is not going to be that expensive to fix, it’s just going to be the wood and the labor, which may be anywhere from $500-1,000, maybe. Problem is, is once we get in there, we don’t know if that framework’s got rotted inside there, if more wood’s rotted. So, it’s just best to do this maintenance early on.
