Avoid Scams When Selling Your Home:
If you’re thinking about selling your house to a cash buyer, how to avoid scams when selling your home should be a top priority. While many local buyers are honest and reputable, some use shady tactics to pressure sellers into bad deals. In this video, I walk you through the most common red flags and how to protect yourself when selling a house for cash in Oklahoma City and the surrounding metro area.
Some warning signs to watch out for include:
-
Buyers who pressure you to sign quickly
-
Offers that seem too good to be true
-
Lack of proof of funds
-
Refusing to use a local title company
-
No clear timeline for walkthroughs or closing
- Re-trading on purchase price. That’s when a buyer offers a high purchase price to blow out the competition, then comes back to you later and demands a lower price to stay in the deal.
Avoiding scams when selling your home starts with knowing who you’re dealing with. For example, ask for references, make sure they work with a local title company, negotiate earnest money and have date the earnest money becomes non-refundable, and insist on reasonable closing timelines. Most importantly, never feel rushed. If something feels off, trust your gut.
