(00:07):
Hey everyone, welcome back to the show. This is Danny Johnsonfrom Danny Buys Houses in San Antonio, Texas.
Today we're gonna dive into a topic I get asked about allthe time: selling your house fast for cash.
Maybe you're sitting on aproperty you inherited,
or you're just tired of dealing withrepairs and real estate agents.
Whatever your reason, I'm here to break it all down for you.We'll talk about who's doing this, why it works,

(00:30):
the challenges that you might face, andhow super simple it can be
to sell your house as is to a cashhomebuyer like me.
Stick around, we've got some listener questionsas well, and let's get started.
All right, so who's out there looking to sell ahouse fast for cash? I get contacted
all the time by different peoplehere in San Antonio
that are looking to sell their house fastfor different reasons.

(00:53):
Maybe you're a homeowner who's saying,"Danny, I've got this house,
but it's a mess. I don't wanna fix it up,"
or maybe you just inherited a placefrom your parents
or your grandparents and you'rethinking, "I don't live there.
Uh, I don't need this headache. I don't knowwhat I want to do with this. I- I
just would rather sell it for cash."
I've also talked to people who are moving fast.They've got a new job in a new city

(01:13):
and they don't have the time to list with an agentand wait for a qualified buyer.
Usually the seller just wants to avoid the hassles ofselling through a real estate agent.
They don't want to deal with allthe showings.
They don't want to have to make repairs to thehouse before putting it on the market.
They just want to be done with it so theycan move on with their life.
Now, what ties all of these people together?They want speed, they want simple,

(01:38):
and a lot of them want to avoid thehassles of a traditional sale.
Think about it. No staging, no open houses,
no waiting months for a buyer. With a cashsale, you're in control.
You decide when it happens,
and you don't have to lift a finger to fix thatleaky roof or paint the walls
or clean out the garage.
That's why I love helping people likeyou. It's always a win-win.

(02:01):
Now let's- let's be real. Selling a house fast isn't always awalk in the park. There's one big challenge:
figuring out what your house is worth.
If it's a distressed property, maybeit's got old wiring or a
unlevel foundation, especially here in SanAntonio with the soil that we've got,
and you might wonder, "Who's gonna buy this?"
That's where cash hou- house buyerslike myself come in.

(02:22):
We're real estate investors who see thepotential and not the problems.
We will make you a fair offer to buy your house, andthere's no cost for us to do this.
There's no obligation for you to accept our offer. If youdon't like it, you don't have to take it.
Another hurdle is the emotional side.
If you inherited a house, it might feeltough to let go. I get it.
Yeah, I've been there with families who say,"Danny, this is Mom's place."

(02:45):
But here's the thing. Holding on to it canmean more stress, taxes, upkeep,
maybe even ending up with squatters, which I've hadhappen before and it's not a fun experience.
Selling fast can lift that weightoff your shoulders.
And then there's the paperwork. Closingcosts, title companies. It sounds
overwhelming, but don't worry, I'm gonna walk youthrough how easy we make all of this.

(03:08):
All right, let's get to the goodstuff. So how does this
work when you sell to a cash house buyer likemyself at Danny Buys Houses?
It's pretty straightforward, really.
First, you reach out to us. You can call me, or justeasier, fill out the fast cash offer form
on dannybuyshouses.com. Just head overto dannybuyshouses.com
and you'll find that form front andcenter on the website.

(03:29):
Tell me a little bit about your house, whereit's at, what shape it's in,
and you don't have to stress about the details.I've bought houses with holes in the
floor and trees growing through theroof. True story. Next,
I'll come out and take a look.
No fancy home appraisal needed.I'm not looking,
uh, I'm not some bank lender, you know, witha clipboard walking around,
really nitpicking everything. I just

(03:50):
check out the place, figure out what it's worth tome as is, and make you a cash offer.
Usually I can get that to you ina day or two.
Uh, a- and, uh, you know, really, we just make you theoffer there on the spot most of the time.
All right, so if... And- and really thatwalkthrough is only gonna take about
15 or 30 minutes. You know, somepeople stress and worry,

(04:11):
hey, uh, you know, is this gonna be like atwo-hour ordeal where you're-
you're crawling up on the roof and- (laughs) andcrawling underneath the house? No,
we don't do that. We just walk around, takea look at everything and
figure out what we would do to make ita nice home to sell.
And if you like the offer,
I hope you do, of course, we move fast.
We handle the paperwork, work with the local title companyand cover the closing costs most of the time.

(04:34):
You don't have to pay a dime out of your pocket for us to- tomake this offer and- and close on this house.
Most times, we can close in a week or two, sometimeseven faster if you're in a pinch.
But we can allow you to pick whateverclosing date you want. If you-
if you need more time, if you want amonth, we can do that as well.
There's no real estate agent involved, nocommissions, no waiting.

(04:56):
How does that sound? All right, Ithought you'd... You know,
figured you'd say (laughs) it soundedgreat because it's-
it's really an awesome thing because of the speed andease with which you can sell your house.
All right, so we've got some questions fromlisteners out there, and I grabbed a couple
that I wanted to, uh, to put on the show here. So firstup, Maria from Alamo Heights asks, "Danny,

(05:16):
what if my house needs a ton ofrepairs? Can I sell it fast?"
Yes, you can, Maria. That's my sweet spot. Ibuy houses exactly as is,
where is. You don't have to touch ahammer or paintbrush.
I'm gonna take it off your hands, fixer upperand all, just the way it is.
All right, so next we've got John from the west side, he says,"How do I know if I'm getting a fair price?"

(05:37):
And that's a great question, John, and, uh, youknow, here's how it works basically.
I look at what similar houses in the area aregoing for, what they're selling for,
uh, that have been fixed upalready, right? So just
once we fix it up, what is thishouse gonna sell for?
And then we determine what is the cost of the repairs thatare gonna be needed to fix this house up?

(05:58):
And we deduct that from- from, uh, thatamount that it's gonna sell for,
and we include in a small amount for profit for ourselves,and that's how we come up with the offer.
So it's cash, it's quick, and it's fair.
You're not paying agent fees or waiting fora buyer to get a loan, so
no balances. So it all balances out really.
Plus you always get to say, youcan always say

(06:18):
no if you don't like it or if it's not right foryou and- or doesn't fit your goals.
Uh, and one of the questions is, you know,sometimes that we get is,
you know, with the repair cost, how much doyou determine for repairs? And
with the volume that we do of the house that we fix up, wekeep contractors pretty busy, so we get good
prices, and so those- that repairtotal is not gonna be

(06:39):
the same amount as if you were to hiresomebody that you called,
uh, that you found online and you called acontractor to come fix the house up. So,
uh, it actually allows us to offer a littlebit more for the property.
So if you've got more questions, anybody outthere listening, send them my way
and I'll try to tackle them onthe next episode.
All right, so if you're wondering how to get

(06:59):
