If you are curious what it’s like to sell your home in the Seattle area to I WILL BUY HOUSE, you are in luck! I just interviewed a recent seller from Auburn, Washington and am excited to share the interview. In the interview below, Melody describes her experience including the highlights and her suggestions for improvement.

To provide context, Melody wanted to sell her house quickly so she could relocate to Maryland and buy a house there to live close to her daughter. Melody followed the traditional path of selling a house and listed her home with a real estate agent. Unfortunately for Melody, the real estate agent was not realistic and listed the house $100,000 over a reasonable sales price. Months went by and there were no buyers in sight. So the agent started dropping the price; however, because the house was so severely overpriced in the first place, no buyers emerged even after multiple price drops.

After a few months,  Melody realized that the traditional way of selling her house with a real estate agent was not working and she needed a different solution . She contacted us and described her situation and her desired outcome…”Sell the house for a fair price and do so without the hassle of showings and repairs”. I WILL BUY HOUSE team went to work and the rest is history : )

IWillBuyHouse: Hi Melody, this is Alex with I Will Buy House. Is this a bad time for you?

Melody Carlisle: It’s fine. I’m just pumping gas. I’m almost done.

IWillBuyHouse: Terrific. So I just wanted to ask you a couple of questions for our feedback and I was wondering also if I could record our conversation for our feedback and our marketing purpose, would that be okay?

Melody Carlisle: Yeah, that’s fine.

IWillBuyHouse: Okay, terrific. So I’m thinking back on the entire process of selling your property in Auburn. What do you feel we could do better next time, if we were to repeat the process?

Melody Carlisle: I think that you could do better informing about all seller costs. Because I’ve never sold a house before, so I didn’t know about that. I think the whole process was very easy and I think that your company is very professional. I enjoyed working with you.

IWillBuyHouse:  Yeah, well thank you so much. It’s, really great to hear that. So you were kind of saying, if I understand correctly, is to kind of be, be maybe a little bit more upfront about all the costs that are associated with, with selling a property, is that correct? Did I understand you correctly?

Melody Carlisle:  That is correct. And it was my own ignorance about some of this, but I had never sold a house so, you know, in the state of Washington, so I didn’t realize the costs that the seller would also incur.

IWillBuyHouse:  And if I remember correctly, I think there are a few things that are a little bit kind of unusual about your house in the sense that, you know, we had to get that, the septic inspection done, which kind of came out to us at the last moment and had to work with, with the septic company to clear the whole issue with the city not accepting the septic report first.

Melody Carlisle: That is correct. But you would never learned that until we got into it. So I just think that was, uh, something that comes up occasionally when, when you’re a seller, you’re buying a house.

IWillBuyHouse: Exactly. That’s right. You know, we’ve been doing this for awhile and we still get it. It’s funny. We still get surprised on, on deals and you kind of think, alright, well I’ve seen everything under the sun that you can possibly see and then there’s still something that comes out and surprises you. That’s, true. My next question would be, what did you like least about the overall experience?A stainless steel stove top oven is sitting on top of a kitchen counter.

Melody Carlisle: I’ll be honest with you, I don’t think there was anything that I didn’t, at least understand. I don’t know if you can say like, or dislike.  You were very good at explaining things. So I think the whole process was a give and take and I think that your company did  excellent .

IWillBuyHouse:  Thank you. Would you sell to I WILL BUY HOUSE again if the situation would arise?

Melody Carlisle: Yes, I definitely would use your company’s services again.

IWillBuyHouse:  And would you recommend us to friends or family?

Melody Carlisle:  I certainly will. If I know of anyone at all in Washington selling a house, I’m going to recommend your company.

IWillBuyHouse:  Thanks so much. And then lastly, how would you rate your experience with us on a scale of one to 10?

Melody Carlisle: I WOULD DEFINITELY RATE YOUR COMPANY A 10.

After Selling Your Home
February 5, 2025
Selling your home is a significant life event that can greatly impact your financial landscape. Whether you're choosing to downsize, relocate, or capitalize on the increased value of your property, understanding the financial implications is vital. This guide explores the various strategies and considerations for planning your financial future after selling your home.
Sellers in Washington
January 26, 2025
Navigating the real estate market can be daunting, especially for sellers looking to make informed decisions in Washington. With a myriad of factors to consider—from legal requirements to market trends—having a comprehensive understanding of the process is essential. This guide aims to answer common questions and provide valuable insights for home sellers in Washington, focusing on key aspects like cash buyers, legal considerations, property valuation, and more.
Home Inspections in Cash Sales
January 19, 2025
The real estate market is a complex and multifaceted arena, where various processes and protocols come into play to ensure successful transactions. One such critical component is the home inspection, a comprehensive assessment of a property's condition conducted by a certified professional. This process is designed to identify any existing or potential issues with a home, ensuring that buyers have all the necessary information before finalizing a transaction. While home inspections are a standard procedure in traditional sales, their significance in cash sales is often underestimated. Despite this perception, home inspections remain a vital element for both buyers and sellers, safeguarding their interests and facilitating smoother transactions.
Open Market
January 12, 2025
Selling a home is often an intricate process that can test one's patience and strategy. When a property remains unsold on the open market, it can be both perplexing and stressful for homeowners. Understanding the underlying reasons for this situation can be instrumental in adjusting tactics to achieve a successful sale. Factors such as overpricing, inadequate marketing, or unfavorable market conditions may be contributing to the delay. Exploring alternative selling methods, such as working with cash buyers or making strategic home improvements, can help attract renewed interest and expedite the process.
Relocating for Work
January 5, 2025
Relocating for work can be a daunting task, filled with urgency and stress. The need to coordinate logistics, find new housing, and sell an existing home quickly can create significant pressure. Common concerns include the timing of the move, fluctuations in the housing market, and the emotional strain of leaving a familiar environment. These challenges often affect the home selling process, especially when a quick sale is necessary. When moving across cities or states such as Seattle, Tacoma, Bellevue, Spokane, and Vancouver, logistical issues can compound the stress of relocation.
Cash Home-Buying Companies
December 31, 2024
Cash home-buying companies, such as Legacy Onset Home Buyer, provide an alternative to traditional real estate transactions. These companies purchase properties directly from homeowners, offering cash payments and a streamlined process. Unlike traditional real estate agencies that list homes and rely on buyer financing, cash home buyers complete transactions swiftly, often in a matter of days. This rapid turnaround is particularly appealing to those who need to sell quickly due to pressing circumstances.
Selling a Rental Property in Washington
December 26, 2024
Understanding the intricacies of tenant rights and lease agreements is crucial for landlords planning to sell their rental properties in Washington State. The process involves several legal and financial considerations that can impact both landlords and tenants. In this article, we explore these factors, providing insights into tenant rights, lease agreements, potential legal challenges, and more.
Understanding Home Valuations
December 19, 2024
Selling a property is a significant financial decision, and determining an accurate home valuation is a critical step in this process. The valuation sets the groundwork for how the sale unfolds, affecting both the speed at which the property sells and the price it ultimately commands. Setting the asking price too high can result in the property languishing on the market, potentially deterring buyers and leading to eventual price cuts. Conversely, pricing it too low can mean financial losses. Therefore, understanding the true value of your property is essential for attracting the right buyers and facilitating a smooth sale.
Sell My House
December 12, 2024
Selling a house can often be a daunting task, filled with numerous steps and potential delays. For those looking to expedite this process, cash home sales provide an appealing alternative. This method involves selling a property directly to a buyer who pays the full purchase price in cash, thereby sidestepping the traditional mortgage route and its associated complications. Cash sales are particularly attractive due to their speed and simplicity, offering a streamlined path compared to conventional home sales that typically involve intricate financing processes and extended closing timelines.
Moving After Selling Your Home
December 5, 2024
Relocating to a new state is a journey filled with anticipation and challenges. A major hurdle in this process is selling your current home and orchestrating a seamless move. Opting for a cash sale can significantly simplify this task, offering several advantages, especially for those moving to or from cities in Washington like Seattle, Tacoma, Bellevue, Spokane, or Vancouver.
