How It Works - Hello Next Partners

What would you do next if you could sell your house today? Every day people all over the St. Louis region sell their house “as-is” for cash so they can make a fresh start, downsize, move to a new neighborhood, save money, or repair their credit. But, we’re not just talking about cutting your losses here. We’re talking about an entirely different and better way to sell your house, no matter what your situation is or what condition your house is in.

Whatever your goals are, they’re closer than you think. You can sell your house “as-is” for a fair price, close fast, and avoid the hassle and cost of listing it for sale. There’s no catch, no trick. It’s simple math. Let’s take a look:

What to Expect

Costs of Traditional Selling

Selling a house is a long, complicated, and expensive process – even if your property is in perfect condition. There are many middlemen, dozens of steps, months of paperwork, and layers of fees. It’s not a bad option, but many homeowners in St. Louis are finding that it’s not their best option.

The average cost to sell a house is nearly 15% of it’s sale price – which includes agent commissions, home improvements, closing costs and moving fees. A $200,000 house might cost $30,000 in seller expenses.

	Traditional Selling	Hello Next Partners
Agent Commissions	$12,000	$0
Home Repairs	$10,000	$0
Closing Costs	$6,000	$0
Home Staging	$1,000	$0
TOTAL FEES	$29,000	$0

We buy properties directly from the seller “as-is” which means no agent commissions, repairs, or staging. We also arrange our own financing, which means no extra closing costs. Can you see the math working yet? This doesn’t even include other expenses like having to make additional mortgage payments and interest while you wait for your property to sell, cleaning costs to keep the property looking nice for potential buyers, and trips to the coffee shop to kill time while strangers tour your house and decide whether they like it or not.

However, financial cost isn’t everything. Time and stress matter a lot too. In traditional selling, you have to host open houses, invite dozens of strangers into your house, wait for inspectors, escrow, and closing.

The average time to sell a house is 55-85 days according to recent industry averages – which includes finding a buyer, negotiating, and closing.

Closing	45 Days	30 Days or Less

Selling With Us

As you can see, traditional selling on average can cost you 15% of the sale price and take months to complete. Many of those expenses are required before you sell the property, which means you have to pay for them out of your own pocket while still paying your mortgage and utilities. That doesn’t work for most people, especially if you are already experiencing health, family, or financial hardship or need to quickly relocate due to job or life changes. That’s why we exist: to give you another option that allows you to move forward in strength.

When you work with us, the sale price of your property may be less than if you would sell it the traditional way. But if you have followed the math so far, you know that you aren’t necessarily getting less money! By cutting out the middlemen, you save money and months of time and stress.

The math is important: we do exist to make a profit but we aim to do so in a way where everyone wins and you start the next chapter of your life on the right foot. We show all this because we value honesty and transparency. Our process is like this too: we’ll walk you through the numbers so you understand your options and can decide what’s best for you. In some cases we might even recommend a more creative approach than a “fast for cash” sale if we think there is a better way to help you achieve your goals.

What to Expect

If you don’t want the cost and hassle of fixing and selling your house, then selling “as-is” can be a great option. We know you may want to sell quick to avoid foreclosure and protect your credit score, you inherited a home that you don’t have time to deal with, or you just want to cash out quick to start the next chapter of your life. In any circumstance, our aim is to first understand your goals, then evaluate your property, and lastly discuss your options with you. Our process is informative, low pressure, and customized to your needs. There’s no risk!

Your Goals

Fill out our online request form or call us to talk about your goals. It’s important we understand why you are selling and what your goals are so that we can mutually determine if this is a good fit for you and make a plan.

This is typically a phone call that lasts less than 10 minutes. It is obligation-free and confidential. At the end of the call, we may ask to schedule time to visit your property with you.

Your House

We will work with your calendar to schedule a free, no pressure, 30-minute look at your property. Someone from our team will walk through the property to estimate its value and gather information that we will use to make a plan and offer.

This typically takes 30 minutes or less, you’ll know who is coming in advance, and you don’t have to clean or do anything to prepare the property.

Our Offer

After touring your property we put together a proposal that includes our offer. We won’t give you a hard sell. We will deliver the offer in writing and clearly lay out how everything works so that you can evaluate whether this is a good fit for you or not.

Closing

We close in 30 days or less, depending on your needs. Because we are the buyer and arrange our own financing, closing is much easier and faster than traditional selling.

Payment

That’s it! If there is a balance due to you we pay immediately so there’s no waiting on the bank to mail a check or clear the transaction. You’re officially ready to say ‘Hello’ to your next adventure!
