The sad fact of the matter today is that the vast majority of real estate listings expire, and many houses go unsold. One of the key reasons for this is that there are many great houses on the market, yet not so many good buyers for them. The market for house sellers is very competitive. And anything that you can you can do to make your house more unique than your competitors will help you.

One way to make your house more unique is to offer seller financing. When you offer your house using this kind of financing your house tends to stand out from the crowd, much more than if you don’t. In addition, by offering seller financing the number of potential buyers for your house goes way up. Thus, allowing you to sell your property much faster.

Also, today many sellers, in an effort to sell their property, are forced to reduce their selling price substantially. However, by offering seller financing you can usually get your asking price or very close to it. Prospective buyers of your property will pay more for premium seller financing for a variety of reasons.

One reason is that they will have less closing costs. With a traditional lender they would have to pay all of the associated points, lenders fees, and a lot of other lenders nonsense fees. But with seller financing the closing on the loan can take place in matter of days, without all the lenders reviews, committees, red tape, hassles, and paperwork.

And since you are in actuality loaning the buyers the money to purchase your house, they will be making their payments directly to you on the private note you created by using seller financing. And, if you ever tire of collecting those payments or you ever need money for an emergency or other reason. Then you can always sell that note or part of that note for a lump sum cash payment.

Indeed, to sell your house quickly in today’s competitive buyers market you must have a competitive edge. There are just far too many great houses out there, and not as many good prospective buyers. Yet by offering your house with seller financing this will give you just the competitive edge that you need to sell your house quickly.
