Three Things to Avoid When Selling Your House For Cash In NYC

Selling your NYC home or property for cash can be a great alternative if you need to sell your house fast. 

As tempting as it might sound to have thousands of dollars in your bank account instantly, it's easy to find yourself in a legal pickle if you're not careful.

Fortunately, we've put together a list of things to avoid when selling your house for cash in NYC.

Don't Forget All Your Documents

One common issue you can run into when selling your NYC house for cash is forgetting the important documents you need. We encourage customers to have two sets of each of the following documentation:

• Property Surveys
• Receipts
• Permits
• Loan documentation (past and future)
• HOA dues and agreements
• Blueprints, if accessible
• Current utility bills
• Title
• Any warranties

Avoid Forgetting Your Disclosure Statements

One of the most vital things you won't want to forget when selling your home for cash is getting a disclosure statement. It's advised that home sellers carry statements listing the defects associated with the property.

Required by most states, this documentation might include things like:

• Structural problems
• Mold
• Paint issues (lead)
• Flooding and other problematic conditions

Don't Forget The Closing Costs

Whether you decide you're selling your NYC house for cash with a real estate agent or not, there is always going to be some sort of fee you'll have to pay. One of the pros that come with houses that are "For sale by owner" is that the almost everything is negotiable. But unfortunately, not all the sales go as smooth as you may think.

Because sellers are more concerned with getting the most out of the cash deal and neglect hiring a real estate agent, they look over things like deed transfer taxes, excise tax, and other required paperwork. In addition, closing costs vary from state to state. If you're not careful, you will find yourself in a bind without proper realtor guidance.
