Thinking about selling your inherited house? In this blog post, you’ll read about the 4 no stress tricks for preparing to sell an inherited property in Chicago so you can sell it easily, with no hassle.
Most property heirs find themselves suddenly owning a property they never intended to have and find the process overwhelming. In today’s post we’ll cover a few steps you should take to make the process as stress free as possible.
No Stress Trick #1 Plan Ahead
Most people who sell a house just decide to sell without thinking through what that looks like.
- Do you have a budget for the ongoing expenses and any repairs needed?
- What if repairs take a long time?
- What if the listing takes a long time?
- What contingencies do you have if the real estate agent can’t find a buyer?
It’s stressful if you have to decide these things as they come up but if you’ve already thought about them, you’ll eliminate a lot of stress.
No Stress Trick #2 Be Informed
Do you know what the process is to sell? Do you know how long it will take? Do you know how much it will cost you? Is it even a good time to sell? Who is buying right now? Do some research ahead of time and ask these questions to get informed about selling.
The more information you have, the better.
No Stress Trick #3 Get Consensus
If multiple heirs own the inherited property, you’ll want to gather your research and then talk to each heir to get a consensus.
Nothing is worse than starting the listing process and trying to sell your property only to be stopped in your tracks by an heir who wants to go in a different direction with the property.
No Stress Trick #4 Work With A House Buyer
The fastest and most convenient option for selling your house is to call a local house buying company like Blue Ladder Development. You’ll get an immediate offer for your house that is 100% “as-is” which means you can remove whatever belongings you’d like and leave the rest behind for us. You won’t have to worry about making any repairs or improvements or dealing with any village inspections as we will purchase the property subject to any local violations.
So one call to a company like ours is the best no-stress trick!
