Sell Now 509

Before a quick sale in the 509, take in the whole view.

For homeowners in Spokane County and the Tri-Cities who are short on time. I ask independent cash buyers in the Homexa® network for an offer, and I price a quick listing on the open market. Both land on one net sheet with the costs taken out. Then you choose.

Sell Now 509 works in two corners of Eastern Washington. Spokane County has old brick and real snow. In the Tri-Cities much of the housing is newer and July afternoons can run past 100 degrees. Advice for one rarely fits the other.

Nine places in Spokane, Benton and Franklin counties

A cash offer request and a quick listing

A cash offer request

Independent buyers in the Homexa® network look at the house as it stands and name a price, usually below what the open market would pay. There are no showings and no lender, though title work and payoffs still set the pace.

A quick listing

The house goes on the MLS, cleaned up and priced for every buyer in the area to see. It usually brings the larger check, and it asks for weeks of showings and a buyer’s loan in return.

Cash offers come from independent buyers. No offer or price is guaranteed, and some houses draw no offer at all. The full comparison, row by row

Spokane sells through winter, with a little planning

Short December days and a driveway full of berm ice don’t stop a sale, but they change the checklist. Buyers and inspectors will run the furnace or the boiler and look hard at the roof and chimney. On older homes, expect questions about a heating oil tank or the sewer line to the street.

If the house is vacant, keep the heat on and have someone check it after every cold snap. A burst pipe in an empty house turns a listing back into a repair job. Selling in Spokane

The Tri-Cities

The Tri-Cities sell through summer, and the heat shows

In July a buyer steps out of a hot car into your entry, and the first thing they notice is the temperature. Next come the brown patch the sprinklers missed and the dust a windy afternoon left on the sills. Newer construction also means you are often competing with a builder down the road who can offer incentives you can’t.

Most of it can be fixed with a few weeks of planning. Selling in the Tri-Cities
