Selling your house fast, Avon Colorado.

If selling your house fast means the shortest amount of time between deciding you need your property sold and the time you get cash paid into your bank account, the fastest way is hands down to sell your house to a real estate investor. Watson Buys is such a company. We are faster than anyone because:

• We are local to Avon (we can be at your house in minutes if you choose).
• We 100% understand the value of houses in Avon, Vail, Edwards, and other neighborhoods in Eagle County.
• We use our own funds, so we are not slowed down by red tape from banks.
• We are professional real estate investors so that we can give you a decision very quickly.

You have 3 options.

First of all, we can close a deal really, really fast. Like, in less than 30 days fast or maybe even less depending on your needs, whereas hiring a real estate agent would normally take several months. Besides, selling your house to a cash buyer will save you money because you don’t have to pay for a realtor commission, house repairs, or closing costs. So basically, we buy your house when you want us to, for cash, as is!

To be honest, the cash offer we give to you is less than the market value. Yes, it’s a low offer, but you don’t pay any commissions or closing costs in return.  Those two alone can account for $30,000 on a $300,000 home! No commissions, zero fees plus for free, we will throw in no hassle and no stress. Besides, we will save you money because selling your property fast. You don’t have to keep paying for the mortgage and interest, insurance, utilities, and taxes. So what are you waiting for? There is absolutely no obligation to sell to us if you call.  We will discuss what you need to sell your house, and if you choose to, we can continue to chat or look elsewhere. Either way, we are here to help, so call now if you call us about or a FREE guide to help you in your house selling process. Or you can download the ebook below.

Definitely! In fact, you will not spend a single penny on commissions or closing costs. We deal with all the closing costs for you and we even pay a Title company to do it all properly.  If you like you can even choose your own title company. We check out the property and as long as it is what you say it is we will close with cash. What we agree on as the offer is what we will pay you! We do not charge you any fees at all.

There are few things to consider before we make an offer for a particular property. First of all, we will check the location of the property.  We will verify the current condition, does it need mild or serious repairs, and we also check the recent sales value of the nearby properties. Once we have all of this information we use technology, and a little local knowledge, to come up with the most we can pay.

Definitely Not! There is no obligation at all. Once we’re done checking your property and come up with an offer then it’s totally up to you whether to accept or decline the offer we gave you. The decision is yours! We’re all about helping homeowners, not harassing them.  You are totally in control throughout the entire process.

The short answer is yes, you do. AND you should always consult a tax professional when it comes time to ensure you do everything correctly.

Now the more useful answer is that if you inherit a house and then sell it, you pay capital gains tax based on what the house was worth when you inherited it.

For example, if you inherit a house worth $100,000 and sell it 3 years later, you will be charged the current (the rate on the day you sell it) capital gains tax rate of $100,000.

Capitals gains tax is broken down into short-term and long-term capital gains.

Short-term capital gains tax is applied when you own an asset for less than 1 year.

Long-term capital gains are applied to any asset you sell that you owned for more than a year.

Short term capital gains tax on inherited houses is calculated on where your income puts you in the federal tax bracket. In layman’s terms, it’s treated like money that you were paid from your job.

When selling inherited property, long-term capital gains tax rates are o%, 15%, and 20%. Long-term capital gains rates are normally lower than the short term. Therefore many professionals might suggest that you hold the inheritance for a year.

However, that would mean paying taxes, insurance, and maintenance and repairs during that period. Understanding math takes some time, but it is worth it.

If you do choose to sell your inherited home, please contact Watson Buys. Even if we don’t do a deal, we would love the opportunity to help you with information and more.
