Selling annuities is a viable option for those looking for an immediate source of money for a particular financial need, be it an investment, a large purchase or even a debt payoff. Rather than have to go through the hassle of a new bank loan, many people choose to sell annuity payment either in its entirety or as a partial. It is a quick and easy way to receive a large sum of cash in the short term.

Annuities are regular monthly payments, usually tax-free, that one receives either through a personal or business investment or through a structured settlement as a result of an injury case. They are administered through insurance companies, and each month for a set period of time the person receives a certain amount of money.

Although it can be nice to receive a steady income month after month, there comes a time in many people’s lives where they need a larger sum of money in the short term. Others decide that they no longer want to wait for small payments to dribble in, or perhaps they are ready to retire. Whatever the case may be, selling annuities can yield the cash you need right now. There are professionals, called note buyers, who can purchase these annuities from you, giving you cash in hand in a matter of a couple of weeks.

Keep in mind that you can sell annuity payments as partials; i.e. if you have a $75,000 annuity but you only need $35,000 in cash right now, you can sell only $35,000 worth of monthly payments, and keep the remaining $40,000 worth coming in every month thereafter. You can also split the monthlies right down the middle, selling 1/2 and keeping 1/2. The note buyer will go over all of your options with you.

How much will you get when you’re selling annuities?

There’s no set amount, or set percentage…there are many factors that go into placing a value on your annuity, and a buyer will take all of them into account. Some of these include the balance remaining, the time left, any balloon payments due and the financial stability of the party making the payments (payor).

Because the purchaser is assuming the risk, it is never a 1:1 buyout. That is to say, if you have $50,000 left spread out over a number of months or years, you won’t receive $50,000. Why? For one, due to inflation, money today is worth more than money tomorrow. The money you are receiving each month is worth less with the passing of time.

Also, when you sell annuity payments the note buyer is assuming all of the risk; the payor could default at any point, inflation could soar, the economy could take a hit…all of things are taken into account. Obviously, the more secure your annuity, the more you can expect to get for it.

In any case, selling annuities always makes sense for two reasons:

1) you are receiving a guaranteed lump sum of money now, without having to wait for months or years;

2) you are no longer exposed to any financial risk…the peace of mind alone is invaluable.

So if you’re looking for a lump sum of money, you can sell annuity payment to a professional note buyer and usually receive a check in just a few weeks. Just make sure you find a qualified, experienced buyer who can offer you top dollar for your annuity.

Whether you have a small amount to spend on staging your home or are willing to spend up to 1% of your home’s value, you will be able to find a stager that meets your price limit.

Home staging can be broken down into 4 general price categories. Each stager may charge differently and may not provide each level of service, but this breakdown will give you an idea what to expect.

1. You can have the stager walk through your home and give you a consultation. The consultation ends with a list of recommendations that will help you show your house at its best. Such recommendations may be removing clutter, painting the walls, or hanging some art in specific places on the wall. This is typically the cheapest service and can range anywhere from $75 to $350 depending upon your location.

2. For a bigger fee, the home stager can come in and redecorate your home by changing around your furniture, removing pieces that do not fit, and even bringing in some of their own props.

3. Some home stagers will charge an hourly fee to do the cleaning, decluttering, and packing for you, as well as doing the redecorating.

4. And finally, some stagers will not only redecorate and bring in a few props, they will also bring in complete furniture suites with furniture from their own warehouse or from a rental store.

The cost of fully staging your home will depend upon the size of your home and the condition of your home. It will also depend upon whether the stager charges a specific fee per room or home or whether they charge by the hour. The more you ask of a stager, the higher the price will be.

No matter what price range you choose, home staging will make your home sell faster and for more money.
