The traditional way to sell your house is with a realtor, so you might wonder how selling to us<\/strong> compares to listing with us<\/strong>.\u00a0 We've prepared a chart to show you the differences.\u00a0 As you'll see, it's a matter of trade-offs based upon your situation.<\/p>\n<\/div>

When you list on the MLS with us, you usually have the benefit of time<\/strong> and patience for the inconvenience<\/strong> and hold out for a higher price<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

When you sell to us, the timeframe will be shorter<\/strong>, but the price may be somewhat discounted<\/strong> to allow for the risks we take, the cash we have to procure from our network of financial friends, and for a fair profit.<\/p>\n

When you contact us, we'll work together to see if working with us is a good fit for the real estate problem you are trying to solve.\u00a0 Until then, here are a few things to consider:<\/p>\n

Do you need to close quickly?<\/h2>\n

You do if you are struggling to pay utilities, tax and insurance, and your mortgage payment<\/strong>\u2014we call those holding costs.\u00a0 If every month will be difficult or if you feel like you won't make it, you cannot afford to wait many months on a traditional realtor sale.<\/p>\n

Does your house need repairs?<\/h2>\n

To get a high price for your house\u2014a retail price\u2014your house needs to be repaired and cleaned to the standards of other for sale or sold houses<\/strong> in your neighborhood.<\/p>\n

Repairs take both time and money<\/strong>.\u00a0 It can also be a challenge to manage the contractors who do the work.<\/p>\n

Once again, money problems could dictate your decision<\/strong> here.\u00a0 Selling to us avoids the time, money, and repair management headache because we do all the repairs<\/strong> after buying your property.<\/p>\n

Can you afford real estate agent commissions and closing costs?<\/h2>\n

Once again, it boils down to money.\u00a0 Sellers will usually pay real estate agent commissions and a portion of the closing costs<\/strong>.\u00a0 This whittles down the amount of cash you eventually receive for the sale of your house.<\/p>\n

What if your house takes a while to sell?<\/strong>\u00a0 Consider the months of utilities, taxes- and insurance, and mortgage payments only to get to the end and have to pay the commission and closing costs as well.\u00a0 Would it have been better to close quickly after all?<\/p>\n

Let's talk.<\/h2>\n

When you add up the time you could save<\/strong> by working with us, the no-hassle<\/strong> experience and the money you could save<\/strong> on commissions, fees, and holding costs, selling to us could be your best option.\u00a0 We should have a conversation<\/strong> to discuss further.\u00a0 There's no obligation<\/strong> if we're not a good fit and maybe we can put you in the hands of someone who can help you.<\/p>\n
