Generally, selling a home can take so much time, which you may not have. Real estate experts estimate 6 months or more when you follow the normal listing process. However, selling a home for cash can save you a lot of time because it is fast and easy. It will be even better if you avoid common mistakes homeowners make when taking this direction.
So, are you planning to sell your home for cash? Whether you are a real estate investor or just a homeowner trying to sell your home, avoiding these mistakes will make a big difference in your life.
Setting an Unrealistic Price When Selling a Home for Cash
Selling a home for cash, either to homebuyers or any other interested person, is fast when the price is realistic. When it is too high, every buyer will think twice before making an offer. A price that does not match the house will slow everything and might even derail the whole project completely.
To avoid this, have a professional conduct an appraisal and understand the current market price. If you want the house to sell even faster, slightly lower the price especially if you have not renovated and repaired areas that are not in great condition.
Selling to the Wrong Cash Buyers When Selling a Home for Cash
When selling a home for cash, using cash buyers can really save you time. They conveniently buy homes that are proposed to them as long as they meet their standards. However, one wrong move can mess things up; avoid choosing the wrong cash buyers, who are not fair in their pricing or will give you empty promises and never close the deal.
So, take your time to research and locate the best cash buyers in your area. Whether it is selling your house to an investor or new homeowner, they will give a fair offer and close the deal fast for you.
Failure to Prepare the Home for Sale
Selling a home for cash requires that you prepare your home for the process. Just like any other home sale, take some time to declutter and clean the home for showings. Potential cash homebuyers may want to close a deal fast, but they also consider the status of the home. Disorganization can put off buyers and force them to look elsewhere.
If possible, do simple repairs and renovations unless the cash buyer offers to buy on an “as-is” basis. This is usually a simple project that any person can really do.
Failure to Market the House
It is easy to personally market your home on social media and other free platforms. This will increase the visibility of your home even if you do not list it with real estate firms. On the other hand, failure to do marketing when selling a home for cash will increase the time it will stay on the market.
The wrong marketing will have a negative impact as well. So, make sure that you have used the right marketing even if it means hiring a digital marketer to take professional photos and post them for you.
Final Words
When selling a home for cash, most people wish to take the shortest time possible and get good proceeds at the same time. The above insights on mistakes to avoid when selling your home fast for cash will be invaluable to you. So, follow them carefully.

Today, the Syracuse-born, North Carolina-raised rapper Toosii shares a luxurious video for “f**k marry kill,” a single from his latest project Thank You For Believing, out now via South Coast Music Group/Capitol Records. The visual – which follows a similarly lush clip for “Red Die” – finds the rising rap star embracing opulence, surrounded by beautiful women, glimmering jewels, and an inviting pool. Watch here.
The “f**k marry kill” video offers Toosii a chance to celebrate his recent successes as he lives large in a lavish mansion, surrounded by women in bikinis. It’s a fitting pairing for the track’s floating melodies and effortless cool.
The video is appropriately celebratory given that Toosii has recently marked some huge career milestones. His relentless work ethic and undeniable run of vivid, emotional tracks earned him a spot in the 2021 XXL Freshman Class. It’s a coveted honor for any rapper, and it speaks to the growing acclaim for Toosii across the industry. Thank You For Believing garnered praise from critics and tastemakers like The Fader, Complex, The Source, UPROXX, HotNewHipHop, and more.
Tickets are on sale here for the Thank You for Believing tour – Toosii’s first-ever U.S. headline outing. He will also perform at numerous festivals, including Rolling Loud, Lollapalooza and Austin City Limits.
Toosii also recently surpassed one billion combined global streams across all of his songs, proof that his music is resonating with listeners too. Between the release of Thank You For Believing, the staggering success of its singles, and his appearance on XXL’s 2021 Freshman Class, Toosii is already well on his way to becoming a superstar. But he’ll be the first to admit that all of this hustle is just the beginning.
Celebrated British dance duo Gorgon City have released their new track “Dreams” via Astralwerks today. Listen here. The new offering follows latest single “Never Let Me Down” featuring Hayley May, and will feature on their eagerly anticipated third album Olympia which is out this Friday, June 25th.
Offering up ethereal tones and Gorgon City’s trademark arpeggiated bassline, “Dreams” is elevated by its accompanying video, that journeys through an idyllic, paradise island scattered with imposing, Greek statues. Watch the video here.
An album shrouded in Greek mythology, Olympia, Gorgon City’s third album, is as grand in scale and ambition as its title suggests. What began in 2019 as a compact, 10-track project has grown into an 18-track opus covering multiple moods and movements. From the sultry slouch of “House Arrest” with Soffi Tukker, to the big-room bridges and drops of the DRAMA, featured on “You’ve Done Enough,” each new addition to Olympia is both a symbol and product of the pair’s unbridled ambitions for what they wanted to be a big record in every way conceivable. The record includes features from an incredible roll call of exciting new talent in the form of Grace Grundy and Aura James, alongside past collaborators Josh Barry, Sofi Tukker and DRAMA.
Formed in 2012, Gorgon City have sold over 10 million singles and clocked up over 1.5 billion streams. While the duo are no strangers to chart success with hits such as “Ready For Your Love,” their sound is rooted deep in club culture and made for live shows. Many songs get road tested in clubs before being put onto an album. The live setting is where the duo truly thrives – 2019 saw amazing sets around the world including Coachella, EDC Vegas and Israel’s Get Lost Festival, as well as sold-out shows from iconic UK venues such as Printworks, Warehouse Project and Tobacco Dock.
The fans’ demand for Gorgon City’s return to the clubs is undeniable. This September, the duo will embark on some of their biggest and boldest shows to date, with the driving force being Olympia.
Tesla is among the notable growth stocks that have recorded significant returns for investors. Despite the electric vehicle manufacturer’s stock slumping in 2021, it has maintained an edge over competitors.
According to data acquired byFinbold, Tesla stock registered an ROI of 224.93% between June 2021 and June 2020, outperforming some of its major competitors. Among the selected vehicle manufacturers, Tesla only trailed China-based NIO, which had almost double returns at 539.13%. Ford Motor ranks third with returns of 152.28%, followed by General Motors at 141.08%, while Volkswagen AG ranks fifth at 116.62%.
Other stocks with key returns include XPeng (75.47%), Oshkosh (74.08%), Navistar (60.29%), Toyota 42.19%), and Honda (25.22%)
Between the period, Tesla also maintained a superior stock price growing from $191.95 in 2020 to $623.71 in 2021. Elsewhere, last year, NIO’s stock price was at $6.9, while in June 2021, the stock stood at $44.1.
Tesla benefiting from green energy debate
Having established its position as a leader in electric vehicle manufacturing, Tesla stock benefitted from some of the initiatives around environmental conservation. According to the research report:
“In the wake of a new focus towards the climate change agenda, Tesla has been at the center of attention, with more investors betting on the company. Some jurisdictions are also enacting legislation favouring consumers opting for electric vehicles, and as a leader in the sector, Tesla stands to gain.”
Based on the Tesla returns, it is clear the massive gains made in 2020 were enough to sustain profitability for investors despite the stock slumping in 2021. The growth was mainly guided by fundamental factors like greater retail investor interest in the stock and the inclusion of the S&P 500 index. To increase recession profits, check out this step by step guide that aims to help anyone achieve wealth and expand profits at any time, even during and after economic recessions.
However, for Tesla to remain with the upper hand, the company needs to look out for competition.
NORDISTA FREEZE RETURNS WITH LEAVING ME, NASHVILLE SINGER-SONGWRITER-SHOWMAN UNVEILS POPTASTIC NEW SINGLE
OFFICIAL MUSIC VIDEO PREMIERES TODAY AT YOUTUBE, UPCOMING LIVE SCHEDULE INCLUDES HEADLINE SHOWS AND TOP-BILLED FESTIVAL APPEARANCES INCLUDING KNOXVILLE, TN’S NEW GROUND MUSIC FESTIVAL (SEPTEMBER 12) AND BOISE, ID’S TREEFORT MUSIC FESTIVAL (SEPTEMBER 24-26)
NEW ALBUM, BIG SKY PIPE DREAM, DUE FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 10
PRE-ORDER HERE WATCH LEAVING ME OFFICIAL MUSIC VIDEO HERE
With an infectious psychedelic pop sound and a famously (maybe even a little notoriously) energetic stage presence, Nordista Freeze has become a force to be reckoned with in Nashville’s underground scene. – NASHVILLE SCENE
Nashville-based psych-pop singer-songwriter and showman extraordinaire Nordista Freeze has announced today’s premiere of a stellar new single. Leaving Me is available now at all DSPs and streaming services; an official music video, directed by Nashvillian filmmaker Phynley Joel, premieres today via YouTube.
Leaving Me heralds Nordista Freeze’s eagerly awaited new album, BIG SKY PIPE DREAM, due everywhere on Friday, September 10.
‘Leaving Me’ is about the timeless dichotomy of searching for love while feeling called to the open road, says Freeze. It’s about getting dumped unexpectedly in the morning & trying to process the heartbreak, questioning if you inadvertently crafted your fate by choosing to chase your dream. Musically, it’s a nod to my favorite band The Beach Boys and their cultural-influence on half a decade of surf-rock. Like the rest of the album, it was mostly recorded live to tape in my bandmates’ house to capture the timeless warmth of a past era.
Nordista Freeze will celebrate BIG SKY PIPE DREAM with a series of upcoming live shows, including a co-headline appearance at Knoxville, TN’s New Ground Music Festival on September 12 and Boise, ID’s Treefort Music Festival, set for Friday, September 24-Sunday, September 26. Additional dates will be announced, for updates and ticket information, please see Nordista Freeze’s website.
Known for his kaleidoscopic fusion of classic pop songcraft with freewheeling modern psychedelia and indefatigable showmanship, Nordista Freeze has spent much of the past half-decade on stage, performing more than 500 electrifying shows since 2016. Now, with BIG SKY PIPE DREAM, the Nashville-based artist has come closer than ever before to capturing his unstoppable live energy on record. Tracked live in the studio between stints on tour starting in 2018, the album serves as aural documentation of Freeze’s life on the road, intentionally crafted, he says, to represent the sound of playing in dive bars and DIY venues.
A sonic love letter to the warmth of 60s pop, BIG SKY PIPE DREAM marks a departure from Freeze’s previous full-length, 2017’s COSMIC HAUS, eschewing that album’s heavy conceptuality for a collection of 21st-century nuggets spanning the breezy, organ-driven Wysteria to the perfect pop of First Time, the latter hailed by NPR for being as good-natured as it is brightly infectious, an unseasonably pleasant spring Saturday in song form.
Considered by many as the king of Nashville’s DIY scene, Freeze is a major presence within his hometown’s vibrant independent music community, from his recent triumph at Nashville’s premiere new music discovery competition, Lightning 100’s Music City Mayhem (streaming HERE), to collaborations and associations with diverse local artists like Arlie, Briston Maroney, and The Voice winner Chloe MK. Beyond his own performances, Freeze has played an instrumental role in booking such annual indie events as the high-school dance-turned-intergalactic party, Space Prom, and FreezeFest, his landmark celebration of the bands, both upcoming and established, that play on campuses, coffee shops, and dive bars across Music City.
Throughout his ever-evolving body of work, Nordista Freeze has maintained a remarkably focused philosophy that acknowledges artistic success and fan engagement are simply not possible without self-assurance, hard work, and extraordinary dedication.
If I were asked to give a TED Talk, it would be about how to build an audience from the ground up, Freeze says. My whole perspective is that you can grow a fanbase from playing almost anywhere, whether that be a house show or an empty gas station. It all matters.

“Marvel has been exploring with VeVe how to make the Marvel digital collecting experience as special as the physical experience, and we are excited to finally be able to share this vision with our fans,” said Daniel Fink, Vice President of Business Development and Strategy, Marvel Entertainment. “Through VeVe’s platform, we hope to expand the limits of what Marvel fandom can be, starting with personal and interactive digital collectibles that, through NFTs, fans can truly collect, share and enjoy in a way that they have not been able to do before.”
VeVe NFT digital collectibles are minted on the blockchain, which allows for an immutable record of authentication and allows fans to collect their digital products through a fun and engaging experience. Since last December, VeVe has sold over 580,000 NFT digital collectibles to its growing user base of over 340,000 avid fans and has become one of the top apps in the entertainment category on the Google app store.
“We saw the opportunity back in 2017 to create something new and exciting for collectors and embarked on a multi-year journey to bring VeVe to life,” said Dan Crothers, Co-Founder & COO, VeVe. “Our mindset as collectors was to imitate the physical world of collecting, which fans know and love, and offer this experience in an enhanced digital format that felt exciting, authentic and sustainable.”
More details about Marvel’s exciting new digital collectibles coming to VeVe will be shared in the next few weeks. Comic book fans should also stay tuned for some exciting new reveals coming soon!

Limited-Edition Model Represents Absolute Toughness, Leading-Edge Technology, And Timeless Artisanal Craftsmanship
Today, Casio announces the latest addition to its premium G-SHOCK MR-G series with the MRGB2000BS3A, a limited-edition model designed after the concept of Hana-Basara, a Basara commander spirit. Basara was a term of respect used for samurai commanders who shattered conventions with a rebellious style that combined strength and a bold, lavish aesthetic.
The bezel on the MRGB2000BS3A is made of Cobarion, which is four-times harder than pure titanium and features a facet-cutting technique, commonly used in gemstone arts. Cutting/polishing artisan Kazuhito Komatsu applied crisp polishes to the many facets with varying angles to achieve a brilliant, gleaming finish. The indices on the watch dial feature a curved form achieved through nano processing to evoke the curvature of a Japanese sword, coupled with a blend of green, red, gold and black hues, paying homage to the Hana-Basara armor.
The traditional Japanese hue kurogane-iro (“iron color”) is reproduced on the titanium band and screw-lock case back with a newly developed, dark green DLC finish. A name derived from the deep shade of green that appears on the surface of iron heated to high temperatures, the color resembles the iron-clad helmet and armor Basara samurai commanders wore. The titanium case is made from DAT55G titanium, which is three times harder than pure titanium and is dressed in a brown Arc IP with a commemorative plate adorning its edge. The plate is engraved with “25th LIMITED” to mark the 25th anniversary of the MR-G line.
The limited-edition timepiecefeatures a sapphire crystal and is equipped with Tough Solar Power, Super LED Light, Multi-band 6 technology and Bluetooth® connectivity via the MR-G Connected app for automatic time adjustment, world time, and more.
The MRGB2000BS3Aretails for $8,000 and will be available for purchase in July at select G-SHOCK retailers.
