There are hundreds of searches a day for "sell my house" many of these people want a quick sale.
However this isn't always possible.
Real estate transactions are far from quick or simple.
I learnt this the hard way.
After going to a few estate agents who promised the earth in helping me to sell my house, I was getting nowhere.
Not even a nibble was coming my way, and realtors were no help.
Anybody would think we were in a recession (!) The problem I had was I owed more on my mortgage loan than my house was worth.
And the current climate we are in, there are more sellers about than buyers.
Long gone are the days when there would have been a bidding war between multiply interested parties in the property.
I couldn't afford to wait until the recession was over.
I just wanted to sell my house.
I was facing a divorce and could no longer afford to stay in the house and buy my wife out.
And my wife couldn't afford the whole house either.
After a bit of research I found the best way to sell my house quick without the hassle of staying with the realtor.
A company my old high school friend had used, will buy your house for cash.
This made it perfect for the breakup with my wife.
We could split the cash easy without any added stress.
It gave me the opportunity to make a fresh start quickly without having to think about the distressing divorce for longer than was necessary.
The only problem you may face is the risk that you may get more for your money if you hold out.
However when you don't have that option, this is perfect.
There are not many buyers out there that will give you cash for your house.
Investors love short sale properties, as they are often sold under market value.
