If you’re thinking about selling, you’re probably weighing your options right now and maybe deciding how to sell and who you should sell to. Check out this blog post to learn the key advantages of selling to an investor over a traditional buyer in Greensboro…
When it comes to selling your Greensboro house, you have a number of options. You could work with an agent to list your house and they’ll try to find a buyer. Or you could list your house yourself and try to find a buyer. Or, you could work with a real estate investor who will buy your house from you directly… and fast. Here are the advantages of selling to an investor…
Key Advantages Of Selling To An Investor Over A Traditional Buyer In Greensboro: Speed
In order to sell to a traditional buyer, that buyer has to be found by the agent… which is a process that can take months. This also involves you opening up and showing your property over this period of time. This can be disturbing to your life and time consuming. Fortunately, you don’t have to wait that long. When you sell to a real estate investor, they can close fast – often in as a little as a week or two (it varies, depending on the investor). It also depends on the time that works for you. For example, if you know you need two more months in the home, we can set the closing date to your timeline. Helpful Homes is the direct buyer so we can work together to make things go as needed and planned.
And a bonus of this: you don’t have to pay bills and taxes on that property while you’re waiting for a buyer to be found. This can save you hundreds or even thousands of dollars in ongoing bills.
Key Advantages Of Selling To An Investor Over A Traditional Buyer In Greensboro: No Repairs
Not every house is in pristine condition. That’s okay, it happens. But when you sell to a traditional buyer, you’ll probably have to pay out-of-pocket to fix up the property and clean it before a traditional buyer will even look at your house. Helpful Homes buys houses in as-is condition, which means you can save money and time (and hassle!) by skipping the repair and cleaning. We will not ask you for discounts later or surprise you with a list of needed repairs before we close.
Even if the repairs are extensive, for example structural issues or a full gut job, we will handle all of it. Yes, we do buy properties at a fair discount, and this is because we are covering the repairs instead of you, but this is a small price to pay to sell quickly and without all the hassle. This is money and time that needs to go into the property with or without us, we want to do the work. We truly enjoy what we do!
Key Advantages Of Selling To An Investor Over A Traditional Buyer In Greensboro: No Guessing
This is perhaps the biggest problem of them all: When you sell to a traditional buyer, you’re guessing and hoping that they’ll pay you the asking price for the house… and if you wait several months and they negotiate a lower price, well, that’s not ideal. There are a lot of things like lower appraisals or long inspection reports that bring needed repairs to the table. The buyer either backs out of the deal or asks that the seller do repairs. But when you sell to Helpful Homes, you know exactly what we will pay right away. You don’t have to accept their offer but it’s a great first step to help you decide how to move forward. Even if we do not buy your house, we are happy to help educate you as well as be an option you can count on.
There are many ways to sell your house. And although selling to an investor might not be the right choice for everyone, it might be right for you.
