Why You Should Consider Selling Your Home Directly To An Investor

You may think that selling your home directly to an investor (Cash House Buyer) will fetch you a lower sale price. While this may technically be true, depending on your situation, the many benefits of doing so may far outweigh the modest reduction in price—and given the money you’ll save on fees, renovations, and an agent’s commission, the difference may turn out to be negligible. If you’ve considered selling your home directly to an investor but aren’t sure if that’s the appropriate route for you, read on to learn why some sellers choose this option.

Selling your home with the help of a real estate agent to a traditional buyer will likely take months, if not longer. Moreover, the time between the offer and closing date may drag on as the buyer works to secure financing, puts your home through numerous inspections (at your expense), and so on. Selling your home to an investor in will expedite this process—more often than not; you can bypass the regular inspections and expect closing in as few as seven days from the time the offer is made. If you’re looking for cash-in-hand ASAP, selling your home to an investor may be the way to go.

Get a Cash Offer

If you go through a real estate agent, the likelihood of finding a buyer with the resources to make a cash payment for your home is slim at best. On the other hand, real estate investment companies and individual investors are accustomed to making full payments in cash. Not only will you receive your money much faster than the traditional sales route, but you’ll never have to worry that your deal may fall through because your buyer has failed to secure financing.

Sell Your Home in Any Condition

Unless you’ve recently renovated your home, you’re bound to sink a significant amount of money into repairs and renovations before being able to fetch a reasonable price when you sell the traditional way. What if there are just too many repairs for you to handle? In addition, you’ll likely have to pay for (and suffer the inconvenience of) meticulous home inspections. Meanwhile, real estate investors like Home Flippers are often willing to buy your home “as-is,” saving you time, money, and a long series of headaches.

You Won’t Lose Money on Fees

When you sell your home through an agent, their commission fees come directly out of the figure you’re quoted when an offer is made on your home, and commission fees are just part of the equation. Marketing, photography, administrative fees, and more can add up to thousands of dollars.

Selling to the Home Flippers means you bypass these fees and get exactly the amount of money offered—in cash, no less. This can be a major boon for sellers looking for quick cash-in-hand.
