Why We Hate "We Buy Houses" Signs...

If you find yourself in a position of needing to sell a property, it is important to choose the right company. What I am about to tell you is the dirty little secret most sellers don’t know, but should.

The unfortunate reality is what I am revealing to you may not be appreciated by some in the real estate investment community, but it needs to be shared in order to protect you!

I’m sure you have noticed the ugly, yellow signs littering the side of the road or hanging from telephone poles that advertise “We Buy Houses”. In most cases, this is not actually true. There are many “companies” (and I use that term loosely) who employ this method of marketing, when in actuality the “company” is someone who has just attended a weekend seminar.

At these seminars, the attendant is told that if you just put out those bright, yellow signs people will call you to buy their house. Yet, many of these people have never bought a house in their life, much less bought a house from anyone else. They are just doing what a real estate guru said is a great investment strategy that requires no money.

What really happens is the person meets with you, signs a contract with no intent to ever buy the property and then shops the contract to another “investor”. If they can’t find someone to sell the contract to, they will break the contract by citing one of the many contingency statements that allows them to back out of the deal. Which leaves you, the seller, still with a house to sell and less time to sell it!

Now to be fair, there are reputable companies that will in fact buy your house. Optimally, they will seek to create a win-win scenario by being reputable and honest, and have the ability and resources to actually purchase your house. Without a doubt, I believe Chattanooga Property Solutions seeks to do that in every situation! We strive to be considerate of your situation and to think outside the box in order to find a solution to your house problems.

Of course, I believe that we are the best company to meet your housing needs, but I would rather let our clients tell you themselves. Each time we purchase a house from a client, I ask for a testimonial, and thankfully, I have never had a client refuse. In fact, our clients have always been very appreciative that someone helped them, oftentimes due to difficult circumstances, so they gladly want to share their experience with others. It is for this reason that we continue to want to help others, no matter the situation, and that we strive to do our best in each situation.
