Owing more on your mortgage than your house is worth can be a daunting situation, especially if you need to sell quickly due to personal or financial reasons. The stress of managing a sale while being “underwater” on your loan can feel overwhelming. But understanding your options can help you confidently navigate this challenge and maximize your profits, even in tough circumstances.

At RjRebel Real Estate Investments, we specialize in helping homeowners like you find the best solutions for selling homes under difficult conditions, including when you owe more than the property is worth. Let’s explore the various ways you can sell your house in South Carolina, even if you’re in this challenging situation.

Commissions

Real estate commissions can quickly add up, especially if you already owe more than your house is worth. In a traditional home sale, you could find yourself still owing money after closing once the agent’s fees are deducted from your sale price. If this isn’t an option for you, selling your house directly to a cash buyer like RjRebel Real Estate Investments is a great alternative.

At RjRebel Real Estate Investments, we never charge commissions or hidden fees. When you sell directly to us, the offer we make is the exact amount you’ll walk away with after closing. We also cover all closing costs, thanks to our in-house team of industry specialists, which ensures a quick and efficient sale. We offer flexible, guaranteed closing dates, often within days, but if you need more time, we’ll work with you to choose the best date.

Prep and Repairs

To sell a home for the highest possible price, it’s generally recommended to make repairs and stage the property to attract buyers. But when you owe more than your house is worth, pouring additional money into prep work might not be feasible.

At RjRebel Real Estate Investments, we understand the financial burden you’re under, which is why we buy homes as-is. We’ll provide you with a comparison of how much you might profit by making improvements and listing with an agent versus selling directly to us. When you sell to us, there’s no need to worry about passing inspections or making repairs—we take on that risk for you. You can skip the hassle of cleaning, staging, and showing your home. We make the process simple and stress-free.

Current Market Value

If you’ve fallen behind on payments and fear foreclosure, it’s critical to act fast. In some cases, you may owe more than your home’s current market value, meaning you’d have to cover the difference out of pocket. However, this doesn’t mean you’re out of options.

One potential solution is a short sale, where your lender agrees to accept less than what you owe on the mortgage. At RjRebel Real Estate Investments, our experienced negotiators can work directly with your lender to help facilitate a short sale, allowing you to avoid foreclosure and protect your credit from further damage. A short sale can be a complex process, but with our expertise, we can guide you through it successfully and help you avoid the long-lasting negative effects of foreclosure.
