How best to quickly sell fixer-upper SFR?
Hello,
A family member died, leaving behind a 4BR/3BA (approximately 3500 ft^2) fixer-upper in Southwest Missouri. The house has not been taken care of for the past decade, and hasn't even had electricity in 3-4 years. It will need a complete remodel and has mold in the basement. It seems structurally sound aside from a rotting deck. It is located on a highly desirable cul-de-sac. I'm not even sure if a realtor would list this, given that it has no utilities turned on and the mold may be dangerous.
Should I attempt to list with a realtor or sell directly to private investors?
The dream scenario would be that a rehabber with cash buys it quickly.
Note: This is not a commercial listing, or an opportunity for wholesalers.
Thanks for your input!
