BUY TIME
MAXIMISE YOUR PROCEEDS
If you have to buy time to stop or avoid legal action or an auction of your home and maximize the proceeds, Real Estate Assist can help you.
Some people don’t want to or can’t keep their property and want or need to sell. Don’t sell under duress or pressure from the banks or creditors without first establishing your options and solutions.
Unfortunately, few people know there are alternatives to ensure you get the most out of the sale instead of being forced to accept a bank sale. We can help you stop the auction of your home, buy time and sell. View a case study of this type of assistance.
To qualify for this assistance, you must own property, and to keep your property you need a consistent stable income.
a Typical Example
Here is how the real estate assist team can help homeowners.
The examples we illustrate here are real case studies of how Real Estate Assist helped distressed real estate owners.
Case Study
Frangipani Street, Brackenfell, South Africa
The owner recently got divorced and their previous employment contract was canceled. They had arrears on a mortgage bond, short-term debts, and school fees. They had a bond LTV of 40% on higher-value property that required only cosmetic renovations. The owner secured a temporary employment contract but was still unable to settle their arrears. Sale in execution procedures was then instituted by the mortgage bondholder. They required access to equity in their property as soon as possible to provide a stable environment for their children.
Assist Group’s Intervention and Solution
- Sell the property to the investor at less than market value to stop the sale in execution
- Provide rental agreement and perpetual option linked to a lease to the previous owner
- Utilize proceeds for settlement of debts after transfer and cosmetic renovations
- Should option linked to a lease not be exercised then the property is sold to a third party
- Sale in Execution procedures stopped. Pay predetermined profit to the investor as contractually agreed
- The remainder of proceeds payable to the property owner on transfer to third party purchaser
Results
- Sale in execution averted after-sale to investor
- Debts settled from proceeds after transfer to the investor and school fees paid
- Temporary employment contract not renewed to enable exercise of the option
- Rental agreement and option fees paid for 21 months provided a stable environment for children after divorce
- Property sold to the third party with listing after maintenance to maximize proceeds
