If you are one of the many Utah homeowners who are in the middle of a short sale or foreclosure then you probably have a lot of stuff lying around the house or garage that you could live without. While many homeowners wait until the spring and summer months to sell unused possessions by holding yard sales, homeowners who are facing foreclosure or trying to negotiate a short sale do not have the luxury of time.
At HSC, we are amazing at just how many homeowners abandon their possessions if the bank forecloses on their homes. A lot of foreclosure victims are so down with life during the foreclosure process that they no longer see the value in household items, or they simply just want to move on and leave all memories behind.
Make Some Quick Cash Instead!
Obviously if you are having to short sale your home or are being threatened with foreclosure, then money is likely one of the issues you are dealing with.
One Man’s Junk is Another Man’s Treasure
You’d be amazed at just how much used stuff you can sell, even if it’s broken! There is a buyer out there for just about anything, if the price is right. The secret to selling stuff quickly in Utah is all about pricing, especially because people here always like to play “lets make a deal.” So if you set your mind on getting rid of stuff, rather than on how much you can get for it, then you will have a much higher chance of selling stuff quickly.
List Anything And Everything
People are all over the Internet looking for great deals. Don’t hesitate to list items as simple as a garden rake for say $3 or a beat up old couch for $150 if it’s something you no longer need. If you find that you get few or no calls on a particular item within the first day or two, lower the price!
Where To List Your Items For Sale
To focus in on local buyers consider the following options:
- Contact HSC: Short Sales and foreclosures is our business and we have investors who may be willing to come out to your house and make you an offer on several of your items. To find out more about this option, contact us using the form below.
- Post Your Items to KSL Classifieds: You can quickly post a free ad on KSL and literally have potential buyers calling you within minutes of the ad going live.
- Post Your Items to Craigslist: Craigslist is another good place to post free ads that target the local market, but in Utah, it’s proven to be not quite as quick and successful as posting on KSL.
Sites like E-bay are always an option as well but can be a hassle because they cater to an international audience that usually requires you to package and ship items which only adds extra time, money, and frustration to the process.
