Why sell your Alabama house with SellMyHouse.co
If you’ve thought about what a traditional sale involves, you know it takes time and money before you ever see a check. Here’s how a cash sale is different.
-
You don’t have to fix anything first. A traditional sale usually means repairs before listing, then more after the buyer’s inspection. With a cash sale, you don’t have to touch anything before closing.
-
No deal falling apart over buyer financing. When a buyer is using a traditional mortgage, their lender can delay or kill the deal late in the process. A cash home buyer’s offer doesn’t depend on typical mortgage approval.
-
No showings or open houses. Getting a house ready and keeping it that way through weeks of showings is a real burden. You’ll deal with none of that.
-
Close on your schedule. Closing isn’t tied to a lender’s timeline. When you’re ready, we work with you to set a date that makes sense.
If a cash sale sounds like a better fit for your situation, getting an offer is a simple place to start. There’s no obligation to accept it, so you can review your offer and decide what works best for you.
What Alabama sellers need to know
If you’re in the Birmingham area, it helps to know the Birmingham home sale specifics before you get too far into the process.
Attorney required at closing
Alabama requires a licensed attorney to prepare the legal documents at closing, including the deed. If you don’t already have a real estate attorney, your title company can often refer one.
Recordation tax
The state charges a recordation tax of $0.50 per $500 of the sale price, which is typically paid by the seller.
No standard disclosure form
There’s no standard disclosure form required either, since Alabama is a caveat emptor state. That said, you’re still expected to disclose known health or safety issues. When you sell to a cash home buyer, the offer accounts for the home’s condition upfront, so inspection findings carry less weight than they would in a traditional sale.
Property taxes paid in arrears
Alabama property taxes are paid in arrears, so each bill covers the year before it. Taxes are due October 1 and become delinquent after December 31. At closing, they’re typically prorated so you only pay for the time you owned the home.
