How to sell my apartments fast – Seven Tips
Reasons, why you might want to know how to sell my apartments fast, include things such as you are tired of being a Landlord and doing things such as collections, repairs, finding tenants, etc., you inherited the property and don’t want to be a Landlord, the foreclosure process has begun on the property, you are going through a divorce, as well as all kinds of other situations.
Selling an apartment building quickly can be done but it will take a little work on your part. In order to sell your apartment building, you’ll have to create the marketing material, find potential buyers, and sell them on the positives of your property directly.
Here are seven tips on “How to sell my apartments fast”:
1. Google the term ‘buy my apartments fast’ and you will get a list of websites of potential purhasers for your property. You might want to put your state or area into your search query such as ‘buy my apartments fast texas’ if your apartments are located in Texas.
2. Check your local Craigslist for people looking to buy apartments or put together an ad on Craigslist similar to ones that you will see on the site. A problem you may encounter by putting it on Craigslist is that your current tenants may see it, they may assume a new landlord might raise rents, and you could face multiple vacancies before your building actually sells. This is also why you may not want to put a “For Sale” sign on your building’s property.
3. Find the owners of local apartment buildings (similar to your apartment as possible). Search the local county appraiser website to find owner name and address. You can write a letter to solicit an offer, or call if you can get their info online. Another option is to contact the local city/county municipality to pull up rental licenses. Rental license is frequently required before a unit may be rented out.
4. Post your property on appropriate real estate websites once you have exhausted your buyer database. List your building’s details on sites such as LoopNet, CityFeet and the CoStar Group.
5. Take calls from brokers. When you list your property on the Internet, expect to receive multiple calls. While you may not want to list your property in such a public manner, the odds are that outside brokers will bring in additional buyers. Work with brokers, and pay them a commission if a sale results from one of their buyers. If you don’t pay a commission, a broker will have the buyer pay him, which could lead to a reduction in the final sale price.
6. Contact local apartment management companies. They usually have the names and contact information for many local investors. However, like a broker they will expect a commission if their investor buys the property.
7. Attend a local real estate investment club meeting. There are usually several investors at the club meetings.
The biggest issue with trying to sell it yourself or selling it with a real estate agent is often times retail buyers will tie up your apartments for weeks and pull out on the deal at the last second… or have their bank loan fall through.
This unnecessarily adds stress and countless months to the process. Once you pay realtor fees, you may not have what you were looking for.
