Sell That Vacant House Fast

Even though the floors are not being walked on and the utilities are not in use - a vacant house suffers from neglect. The potential for problems is great and goes far beyond tall grass, overgrown trees and bushes, leaves, snow, paint peeling and mail piling up.

Neglect Causes Issues

Plumbing problems can arise, such as pipes freezing and bursting in the winter, damage from storms and other natural events can wreak havoc on a vacant house.  And don't forget you are still responsible for snow and ice removal for the entire property.

Vermin

A vacant house is also a welcome environment for the three Vs...vermin, vandals and vagrants. We’re not just talking about bugs – we’re talking about mice, rats, raccoons and more.  Have you seen the damage a raccoon can do?  Aldo, they will begin to take over the house and will begin building nests and having offspring.

Vandals

Just do a quick Google search and you’ll find all sorts of horror stories that likely include our second category of unwelcome guests – vandals.

A vacant house is a vandal’s dream – they may just have some “fun” and spray paint the house with graffiti – or they may take it further and remove the copper plumbing and anything else of value.

Vagrants

If this third category of unwelcome guests doesn't put a knot in your stomach nothing will...vagrants, also known as squatters.

There are two types of squatters...those who are homeless and move into your home for shelter and those who want to turn your house into a place to do and/or sell drugs.

The beautiful home you put your time, money and work into has become the neighborhood drug den with all types of traffic going in and out all hours of the day and night.  Keep in mind also that some states have "squatters rights" and you will actually have to give them a move-out date.  Imagine that!

Insurance

If the three Vs aren't bad enough, there's something else you may not have even thought of...are you aware that your vacant house may not be as insured as you might think? “But, I have homeowner’s insurance,” you say when filing a claim. A careful review of the policy will reveal that your particular homeowner’s policy may require that the house be occupied.

For long term vacant homes, you may be required to have a “builder’s risk” policy that covers all the bases for an empty property.

If you're not properly insured, you don't want to hold on to this property too much longer.

Neighbor Complaints

Have you received code violations from the city for tall grass, overgrown trees and shrubs, trash, snow and ice, etc.?  Guess who called those complaints in to the authorities?  That's right...the neighbors.  The neighbors are definitely upset over the fact their houses are neat and tidy and your property is the eyesore of the neighborhood, which can contribute to lower property values for those looking to sell.
