Need to Sell My House Fast

I live in a half a double house in a small country town. Because of family problems my husband and I would like to move quickly. We have listed our home in the past with several different agents and have had no luck. Our biggest problem is that we put more money into the house than it’s worth. Regardless…I am willing to take a loss as long as I can sell it for the balance owed and hopefully a few extra thousand for closing cost and what not. My question is…what is the best route to take in order to sell my home as quickly as possible? This situation is driving hubby and myself crazy! Any and all advice and suggestions would be appreciated. Thank you so much!

We need to sell our house quickly due to relocation. I’ve contacted a couple of those websites that offer to buy your house no matter the condition for cash. My house is in great condition and we know we’re going to take a hit financially whether we try to sell it the ‘old fashioned’ way or otherwise (we’ve only had it a year and homes don’t appreciate well here, even with a good market). My questions are these: What are the pros/cons of selling for cash? How do I pay off my mortgage if I get ‘cash’? Will it affect my credit? Will I take a hit from the IRS? We really need to be out of here in about 5 weeks. Our house has been on the market now for about 2 months with little to no response – Texans and their irrational belief that any house with an upstairs master is not worth their time…
Please, any useful advice would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks to those who have reponded so far. First, yeah I know it won’t be a big bag of cash with a dollar on it or anything, haha! Also, it’s listed slightly below market value at this time and if we go any lower we will be selling it for less than we bought a year ago. Renting – we’ve got it listed in a couple of places, no interest in that either right now and it makes me nervous to rent when we’ll be out of state.
Thanks for such great answers. I should totally take back what I said about Texas and their beliefs. I know prideful people in TX can be and honestly, I do understand the downstairs master thing, we just prefer to have all beds up and knew it would make for a difficult sell later on. We just didn’t count on having to make it sell after just a year. I’m in Houston, by the way.

I have already weighed out all the pro’s and con’s and desperately want this house. I’m in love w/it and it is priced low to sell quickly–the owner is a family friend. I have 3 years of great rent history and I’m tired of throwing $ away that is not going into something of value (such as a house).

What will the bank say to me and what are the chances of doing a land contract?

I am in the military and just got short notice orders. I applied for a humanitarian due to a death and now will be moving in about 30 days. I did not realize that it would go through that quickly and I know that my house would not sell that quickly. A woman at work suggested that I sell my house to a real estate agent so that they could turn around and rent it. Has anyone heard of this , if so can you step me through the process. Thank you for your help in advance.

We just opened furniture store that sells returns, freight damage and open box home furniture. We get our products from www.homelegance.com. I am having a real hard time to get people into the store, since we are located in an industrial area with no foot traffic. I put ads in craigslist and local newspapers and it is just not effective. Once we get people in, they usually buy because of our great prices and that they don’t mind that the items are a little damage. I guess the question is does anyone out there have any tips on who might be interested in these items in bulk or where else should I advertise and call. We just have too much of these furniture and our supplier wants us to move these items quickly. Any pointers would be helpful. Also we are trying to develop an online presence at www.stufurhome.com to move these items online. Do you think that will work?

What is the market like for selling a home in Columbus, Ohio? I’m selling my property here and moving out of state. I have a 3 bedroom, 1 bath home that i want to get $63,500 for, and a duplex with a 3/2 and a 2/1 that I’m asking $189,900 for. How long do you think it will take to sell them? I know the market is soft everywhere, but Columbus seems like the job market is pretty strong, so I was wondering if you think it will sell more quickly.
