Selling Your House? Think Outside the Box

Selling a house is one of the more challenging experiences you will have in your life. Many people are willing to pay a 6% realtor’s commission fee not to do this work by themselves!

But by thinking through your options, you may find you don’t have to follow the traditional route and lose money in the process. There are many different options available to sellers today.

Get Cash Upfront

Do you want to save money? Are you willing to give up some profit margins in exchange for peace of mind and a streamlined process that is stress-free?

Real estate investors like Kind House Buyers will accept your house as-is. Usually, these companies will offer you an amount less than the market price because they take on the costs of repairs, closing fees, marketing, and more. 

First-time sellers may not realize that selling a house is costly, especially with the traditional route. You’ll have to pay for real estate broker commissions, neighborhood fees, taxes, title insurance, home repairs, mortgage payoff, and moving costs. In total, you can expect to pay anywhere from 10-15% of the home price. 

Cash offers avoid the many risky contingencies for both the seller and buyer. These sales are simpler and more efficient. Overall, they involve fewer steps than listing on the MLS. It is also a huge stress relief when you can be confident that the offer will go through. 

Go It Alone

If you want to sell your house on your own, you will need first to research to determine the appropriate current market value of your home and pay to have it appraised. You also need to prepare your home for showing, including clearing clutter, making repairs, and staging your house. 

You will then have to market and photograph your house on your own. It is highly beneficial to get it listed on the MLS database to be competitive. 

Then, you have to sit around and wait for the right buyer to make an offer, at which stage your negotiation skills will need to come into action as you work with the buyer’s agent. Often this includes paying a buyer’s fee. 

There are also many things to consider surrounding the closing process. 

Sound Invigorating or Overwhelming?

If you were overwhelmed just reading through this list, then selling your house for cash as-is is the simplest way to make this process smooth and easy. You can skip the haggling with buyers and agents, making it easy to receive a fair, no-obligation, no-hassle offer.

Make the Selling of Your House a Quick and Easy Process!

While many people choose to go the traditional route of hiring a real estate agent, this might not be the best fit for your situation. It is crucial to gather all the facts and think about what is most important to you. Make sure to center your needs throughout the home selling process. 

Are you looking for convenience and a hassle-free process? A cash offer means you can walk away with the money in hand. No matter your house selling goals, there is a solution that will be most beneficial to your needs.
