In today's real estate market,Selling with a Lease Option is the Solution in the Current Market! Articles it can be challenging to sell your home quickly for full fair market value.  Selling with a Lease Option can be a great alternative!

There are many reasons that you might need to sell your home quickly.  Perhaps your family is growing and the idea of five people living in a three bedroom home isn't appealing.  Or maybe you have family that you'd like to live closer too.  Whatever your motivation, the only option for you seems to be moving quickly!

The bad news is that it isn't easy to sell your home in this market.  Due to the overwhelming quantity of short sales and foreclosures on the market, today's qualified buyer expects to find a good deal.  A good deal for them can mean a sharp loss for you!

The good news is that you do have an alternative!  You can sell your home quickly and for full fair market value with a Lease Option or Rent to Own contract.

There are three reasons that it makes sense for sellers to sell with a lease option in today's market. 

Asking Price If you must move quickly, there is a good possibility that you will have to take a loss.

By selling with a lease option, you can get full market value for your home.

A Lease Option buyer understands that that cash today isn't the same as cash in a few years.  For this reason, they have no expectation of getting your home for less than fair market value.

This truly creates a win-win situation.  You get fair market value for your home and the buyer gets their dream home.

Payments Now! There are few things more frustrating that making a payment on a home that is sitting vacant. 

With a lease option, this is no longer a concern. The house payment, and then some, will be paid by the prospective buyer.  In addition, the house will be well cared for because the renters are investing in their future home. .

Better Tenant than a Rental! When faced with the inability to sell, many homeowners decide to rent their home.  This is certainly better than letting your home sit vacant, but it may not be the best choice in the long run.

People choose to be career renters for many reasons.  The most important to you is that it just isn't a priority for them to own a home.  Because having a home to care for isn't important to them, they will never be motivated to take care of yours!

When you sell with a Lease Option, the tenant buyer has a different mindset.  They want to own a home so badly that they are willing to go through the struggle of repairing their credit to get it.  Because it so important to them, they will care for your home like it is there home, because one day it will be.

In short, selling a home with a Lease Option is an excellent alternative to sell your home quickly and for full fair market value.  Why not give it a shot?
