Are you trying to sell a home of someone who hoarded possessions?

Unfortunately, it can be a real headache to sell a house with hundreds of possessions that are packed into every nook and cranny of the home.

Just CLEANING the place can take months.

So what should you do?

Well, at Clear Creek Properties, we’ve worked with many homeowners in this exact situation.

And here’s what we always tell them are the options.

You Can Get The House Ready For The MLS — This will take a lot of time and effort, but it’s certainly an option. If you’re not in a hurry to sell the house, then you might consider doing a lot of runs to the dump, hosting yard sales, making repairs, and updating the house until it’s ready for traditional buyers.

You Can Rent The Property — To rent the property to tenants, you’ll still have to clean it up and get it presentable, but you won’t have to update it quite as much as you would for the MLS. The downside is that you have to deal with tenants, which can be more difficult than you’d expect.

You Can Live In The Property — You might consider living in the property. Of course, you’ll probably want to clean it up and fix it up before you do. This can also take a lot of time, effort, and money.

You Can Sell For Cash — At Clear Creek Properties, we buy houses as-is for cash and we can close in as little as two weeks. If you want to get your fair cash offer, give us a call at (801) 624-6517

Want to sell your home and get as much money as possible?

What stinks is, selling your home can be EXPENSIVE… especially if there are a lot of things in your house that you need to fix, replace, or upgrade.

It’s not unusual for those costs to cut into the seller’s profit by up to $20,000 or more (depending on how many repairs are needed).

Obviously, you don’t want to SPEND money to sell your house… you want to MAKE money.

The good news is that you can sell to a professional home-buyer (like ourselves) to cut down on costs and get paid fast… here are some advantages…

We’ll Buy Your House As-Is — When we say “as-is”, we MEAN “as-is”. You don’t have to fix anything, update anything, or stage anything. This can save you a lot of money.

We Can Close In Just 2 Weeks — We’ve purchased homes from lots of different people along the Wasatch Front and we consistently close in less than 2 weeks. Want to know how that’s possible? Give us a call at(801) 624-6517

We’ll Pay Cash — We will pay cash for your home! This is especially beneficial if you have a lot of equity.

We’re Here To Help You — Many people in the real estate world are out to make a quick buck. We aren’t. We’re in this business for the long run and it’s our goal to help homesellers get paid quickly and fairly for their properties. Call us at [PHONE NUMBER] if you want to learn more!

Are you regularly struggling to go upstairs in your own home?

We understand.

We’ve helped lots of different homeowners along the Wasatch Front downsize to homes that are a better fit for them.

After all, if you’re not using the second floor of your home, then it makes sense to downsize and save money on your monthly payments.

If you really want to stay in the home where you’re currently living, then you might consider getting a stair lift. Depending on the model you get, that will cost you between $5,000 and $10,000 for the device (not counting installation).

Your other option is to sell and move into a one-story home.

If you want to do that, we can help! In fact, we can pay cash for your property, we’ll buy it as-is, and we can even close in as little at two weeks.

Give us a call if you want to get a fair cash offer on your home! tel:(801)624-6517

We know how frustrating it can be to live in a big home that you’re not making full use of… and we want to help. :)

Want to sell a house that has a tenant in it? Are you, as the owner of the property, even allowed to do that?

What do you need to know?

Well, at Clear Creek Properties, we’ve helped lots of different people along the Wasatch Front sell their homes — even people who had tenants in their property.

And the real key here is the lease you have with the tenant must be honored. So depending on the kind of lease you have, there can be a few different outcomes...

Give One Month’s Notice — If you just have a month-to-month lease with your tenant, then you usually just have to provide one month’s notice before they need to be out of the home. Then you can sell the property as normal. But this will only benefit you if the property is already in good shape to sell on the MLS (clean, updated, and nothing broken).

Sell As An Investment Property — If you have a lease with the tenant that has several months or years left on it, the good news is that you can usually still sell the property, but the lease must be honored. This means that you’d probably want to sell it as an investment property since the tenants will get to remain in the home. Again, though, this is contingent on the home being in good shape when you sell it.

Sell To a Professional Homebuyer — Regardless of what kind of lease you have, you can almost always sell to a professional home buyer like ourselves. We can pay cash, buy your property as-is AND deal with your tenants. And if you think your house is in bad shape... I promise you we’ve seen worse ;) Give us a call at (801)624-6517 if you want to get your fair cash offer.

Have you listed a house on the MLS and... well, things aren’t moving as quickly as you hoped they would?

You’re not getting many showings. You haven’t found a buyer yet. And it’s starting to get a little frustrating.

Well you’re not alone. In fact, the average amount of time that a property stays on the market is 68 days!

Of course, there are some things you can do to make your house sell more quickly. You can...

Make Repairs — A house with broken appliances, flooring, windows, etc... is going to take even longer to sell or might not sell at all on the MLS. You’ll definitely want to make repairs if you’re home needs it.

Stage Your Home — Staging a home typically helps the property sell faster AND for more money. So you might consider hiring a professional home stager to decorate and organize your home.

Update Your Home — In today’s market, an outdated home is a home that will take a long time to sell. Buyers typically expect updated appliances, counters, flooring, lighting, etc.

But if you’re thinking to yourself, “That’s too much hassle! I just want this property sold!” then give us a call at (801) 624 -6517 we can make you a fair cash offer and close in just a couple of weeks :)

Own a bigger property than you need? Struggling to keep up with the maintenance?

Heck... you’re probably thinking of downsizing at this point...

It certainly would be easier to keep a smaller home clean and tidy (not to mention the repairs). And what do you need such a big home for anyways? It’s turning out to be more work than it’s worth.

We totally understand.

At Clear Creek Properties, we help homeowners along the Wasatch Front sell their properties fast for cash, which removes the hassle of finding a real estate agent, listing on the MLS, and just HOPING that someone will buy.

You can call us at (801) 624-6517 if you want to learn more.

Either way, here are some important steps for getting ready to downsize...

1. Have a Garage Sale — Why not make some money from all that extra stuff you have to get rid of anyway? You don’t necessarily have to move everything out to your garage either. You could just allow people to walk through your home and make offers on whatever they like.

2. Consider How Much Space You’ll Have — You’re going to have less space when you downsize, which means you’re going to get need of enough stuff so that you’re new home isn’t crowded. Think in terms of how many rooms you’ll have to determine what you should keep and what you should get rid of.

3. Invite Family To Help — If you have family members or friends that are willing to help you sell or move your stuff, definitely reach out to them. That will make downsizing much easier and more enjoyable.

Were you planning to sell your house before the Carona Virus outbreak?

Well, it’s no secret that the U.S. economy is currently grinding to a halt. And many experts are predicting that the housing market is going to take a dive here in the next month as well (which means less money for sellers). :(

Of course, there are never any guarantees of what the market is going to do. But if you’re nervous about selling your home, we totally understand. We’ve been operating in the real estate business for 12 years and here are a few things that we’d like to share with you based on our past experience…

Do NOT Make a Decision Based On Fear — It’s never good to make a rash decision based on fear of what the market may or may not do. Historically, people who try to predict the market based on their own fear and anxiety end up making mistakes. So take a deep breath :)

Educate Yourself — It’s easier than ever to do your own research online and figure out what’s the best course of action for you and your family. Take advantage of that fact!

What Goes Down Must Come Up — If you’re not in a hurry to sell your home, then you might consider either trying to finish your pending sale within the next month or just waiting to see what happens. The housing market will always fluctuate and there will always be another good time to sell in the future. So if you can wait it out, then you might consider doing so.
�You Can Still Sell To a Professional Home Buyer — If you want to sell your property quickly for cash, the good news is that a potential market downturn doesn’t have to stop you. At Clear Creek Properties, for example, we buy properties as-is for cash in every kind of market. Give us a call at (801) 627-6517 if you’re interested in learning more about this.

Were you planning to fix up your house just perfectly before selling?

Everything was going to be just right and you were going to get top-dollar for the home…
..but then, maybe you ran out of cash or maybe you ran out of determination…
..whatever the case, you’re not going to be able to finish repairs on the home, updating all the appliances, cleaning it, and getting it in tip-top shape for the MLS.

We’ve seen it happen a million times. And we totally understand — It’s just more than you can handle.

At Clear Creek Properties , we help homeowners along the Wasatch Front sell their homes for cash, as-is, in as little as a couple of weeks.

You’d be SHOCKED at how many people decide to go this route.

Because unfortunately, to sell on the MLS and get top price for your home, you’re going to have to clean everything, fix everything, and update everything — that’s just the market today.

But by going through us, you can sell your in just a couple of weeks, for a fair cash offer, and without making any updates or repairs. We’ll take your house as-is.

If you’re interested in learning more, give us a call at (801)627-6517.

We’re happy to answer any questions you might have. :)

Family living in your property but not helping to pay the bills?

It’s crazy…
..you try to do something generous, something kind, something selfless, and your family doesn’t even OFFER to help with bills (or they do… but they don’t follow through).

It’s frustrating...

At Clear Creek Properties, we’ve worked with TONS of people in exactly your situation. Here’s the advice we usually give.

Create a Contractual Agreement — Business and family rarely mix. And when you’re the one paying mortgage on a house that other family members are living in, that can create bitterness and frustration. Creating a contract can help to clarify expectations. You could put clauses that require family members to do certain things if they want to keep living there (keep it clean, pay for damages, do yard work, etc).

Have an Intervention — If things have gotten really bad, it might be time to have a sit-down with your family. Be honest; tell them that you simply can’t afford to keep paying the mortgage on your own when they’re living the house. An honest discussion can go a long way with reasonable people.

Offer a Grace Period — If you absolutely need your family to start chipping in, but you don’t want to be mean about it, offer them a grace period. Tell them that they have 2 more months to free-load, but then they have to start chipping in a certain percentage of monthly payments or they have to find somewhere else to live.

Sell The Home — Sometimes, the best course of action, if things have gone on for a long time, is to sell the property. And rather than dealing with all the hassle of finding an agent, repairing and cleaning the home, and then listing on the MLS, you can sell to a professional home buyer like ourselves. We can close within just 2 weeks and we’ll pay cash for your property. Give us a call at (801) 627-6517

Have to relocate for work and in a bind to sell your house quickly?

Totally understand.

Here are some tips!

Clean & Fix Important Stuff FIRST — Most sellers have plenty of time to make renovations, updates, clean, and fix items. But if you’re in a bind, then you need to prioritize your time to fix and update BIG STUFF first. Focus on functionality first (HVAC system, broken windows, plumbing, etc) and then focus on fixing or updating appliances or features (flooring, paint, counters, etc). This will ensure that you get the most important stuff done upfront.

Get Started ASAP — The sooner you start on fixing or updating your home, the better. This is not the time to procrastinate. So start packing, cleaning, and fixing right away. This will make your move smoother and less stressful.

Offer an Enticing Price — It’s no secret that buyers love a good deal. And the better the deal, the faster you’re going to sell your house on the MLS. The biggest downside to going this route is that you’ll get less than you want for your house AND you might not sell quickly (it’s always a bit of a gamble).

Work With a Professional Home-Buyer — But what if you don’t have time to make repairs to your house? What if you don’t even have time to clean it? What if you have to sell within just a couple of weeks before relocating for work? Well, our company specializes in buying properties from sellers like yourself, paying cash, and closing in as little as 2 weeks. Give us a call if you want to get a fair cash offer on your home!

Being a landlord isn’t everything it’s cracked up to be…

It seemed like such a good idea at first — you’d own one additional property, manage tenants, and make some extra cash every month.

Why not?

But then it became EXTREMELY DIFFICULT to find trustworthy tenants… repairs got out of hand… and let’s not even get started on the yard work.

It’s frustrating and exhausting...

Fortunately, you are NOT out of options. Here are some things to consider…

Interview ALL Potential Tenants — If you want to keep your property, fix it up, and rent it out, we highly recommend creating an interview process to vet ALL potential tenants. Don’t take people at face value and don’t say “yes” out of desperation. Require proof of good credit and at least one good letter of recommendation.

Hire a Property Management Company — If you don’t want to manage the property yourself but you still want to own it and potentially make a little money every month, consider hiring a trustworthy property management company. The downside is that doing this will cut into your monthly profit. The upside is that a good property management company will handle repairs, finding tenants, and lots of other things.

Sell To a Professional Home-Buyer — Maybe you’re all together ready to quit being a landlord; we totally understand. If that’s the case, give us a call (801 627-6517. We buy houses fast for cash (we can close within just a few weeks) and we can even evict your tenants for you if you want to avoid doing that. Let’s chat!
