What’s the deal with the “We Pay Cash for Houses” signs?
 

I’m sure you’ve seen these signs around every now and then. These signs actually target certain types of home sellers: those in financial distress, those who can’t sell, those who are divorcing, those who have trashed or damaged their homes, and owners evicting tenants. 

These companies often don’t require a real estate commission. They claim they will save you money and boast about completing their sales in-house. 

If you want the most money for your house, hire an experienced real estate agent.

So how do these companies pay for your home?

We used to refer to these homes as EPs, or equity purchase companies. These fast-cash buyers deal solely with your equity position. Their strategy is to negotiate for the lowest possible price for your home.

You have to know what your financial situation is. If these companies are really there to take over a bad situation, they will possibly buy your home for less than it’s worth. These companies are not for conventional home sales.

If you are truly desperate, you may want to go that route. However, if you want to get the most money for your house, stick with a brokerage and an experienced real estate agent.

There are some great places in our area to take the family for some fall fun.

When it comes to seasonal festivities, one of my personal favorites is something most people know about: Shadybrook Farm’s PumpkinFest. 
 
But, I’ve also got a recommendation that might not be so familiar. Another great place I recommend is Eastburn Farms, located on Dorm Road in Newtown. Eastburn Farms is family operated, and was actually started as a hobby.

The attention to detail that is put into Eastburn Farms is obvious in everything they do.

However, even now that it’s grown into something much bigger than a hobby, you can still expect to be treated with a lot of personal care.

The attention to detail that is put into Eastburn Farms is obvious in everything they do. They’ve got a wide variety and selection of pumpkins, from Jarrahdale to Cinderella to your typical Jack-o’-Lantern style, and more. They’ve also got a variety of squash, which are great for cooking.

I hope all of you have a great time taking advantage of our area’s fall festivities. Happy Halloween!

If you have any other questions or would like more information, feel free to give me a call or send me an email. I look forward to hearing from you soon.
