Should I Sell My House To A Cash Buyer
Or List With An Agent?
When it’s time to sell your house it’s not uncommon to consider listing the house with a local real estate agent verse selling to a cash buyer. But which way is best for you? Here are some things to consider.
Most agents charge 6% of the final sales price… then there’s the closing costs that usually get negotiated… Plus you normally end up paying for repairs after the home inspector comes thru and picks it apart. Also, your sale is usually contingent upon the buyer being able to obtain financing and the appraised value of the home. I forgot to mention the constant cleaning, etc… and the uncertainty of when it will actually close..
With us there are no commissions, closing costs, or repairs that you need to make. Since we are cash buyers, we don’t rely on banks for financing or approval. We can close on your timeline. Plus you don’t have to worry about cleaning. Just take what you want and leave the rest:)
Being 100% totally honest here, if your house is already in tip top shape, move in ready and you don’t mind the waiting and hassle, an agent will probably net you a little more money. However, if your house needs work, or if you need to sell fast and don’t want the hassle, selling to us is most likely your best option! But, that’s for you to decide.. Compare your options below.
