Selling a home in Cottonwood Heights often involves more than just market price. Specific circumstances can complicate a sale, from inherited properties to code violations that traditional buyers won't touch. We specialize in navigating these complexities, offering solutions that prioritize your peace of mind and financial gain.
Probate & Inheritance in Salt Lake County
Inheriting a property can be a significant burden, especially if it requires repairs or you're managing an estate from afar. In Utah, the probate process can be lengthy. While it varies, a typical non-contested probate in Utah can take 6 months to a year. If litigation arises, it can extend far longer. Dealing with the Salt Lake County Recorder's Office for title transfers, property taxes, and other paperwork adds layers of complexity.
MyFastCashOffer provides a streamlined alternative. We can buy properties directly from estates, often before probate is fully complete, with approval from the court. This avoids the need for repairs, staging, and the traditional listing process, accelerating your access to the property's equity and simplifying estate settlement.
Foreclosure in Utah
Facing foreclosure is a stressful situation, but there are options. Utah is primarily a non-judicial foreclosure state, meaning the lender can foreclose without court intervention, provided they follow strict procedures. The process typically begins with a Notice of Default. Once recorded, the homeowner has a 90-day period to cure the default (make up missed payments plus fees). After 90 days, the property can be advertised for sale and auctioned off.
Selling your home for cash before the foreclosure sale can stop the process, save your credit, and provide you with equity. We can act quickly to purchase your home, even within a short timeframe, allowing you to avoid foreclosure and move forward.
Permits & Code Violations
Many older Rambler homes in Cottonwood Heights have undergone renovations or have original systems that might not meet today's codes. Issues like outdated electrical systems, unpermitted additions, or common problems such as failing Polybutylene Pipes can deter traditional buyers and require costly, time-consuming repairs and permit acquisition. The city's code enforcement can be quite proactive, especially with visible issues or neighbor complaints.
We buy properties as-is, which means you don't need to worry about fixing a single thing. No contractors, no permits, no inspections, and no haggling over repair credits. Our offer reflects the property's current condition, allowing you to sell without the burden of pre-sale renovations.
