Reasons to Consider Selling Your Home to “We buy houses for cash” buyers


When you are selling your home, you have several options, including selling the traditional route where you work with a real estate agent— you could choose to sell to “We buy houses for cash” buyers. If you want to avoid the tedious and lengthy process of repairing and staging your house for the sale, you should consider selling it to cash buyers.

Who are “We buy houses for cash” buyers

These are real estate investors who specialize in purchasing homes quickly and with cash.  “We buy houses for cash” can be:

  •       Real estate investment companies – they buy properties for investment purposes and are dedicated to buying homes quickly and efficiently.
  •       Individual investors – some people buy homes as investments. They could be looking to rent out the houses they buy as an income source, flipping them for a profit, or holding them as part of their portfolio.
  •       Real estate wholesalers – these buyers act as intermediaries between buyers and sellers. They secure houses at a discounted price and later sell to other investors at a profit without taking the property ownership.

Advantages of selling to “we buy houses for cash” buyers

You stand to enjoy several benefits by selling your home to “we buy houses for cash” buyers:

Fast sale

The biggest advantage of selling to cash buyers is that they often close the sale process very quickly. These buyers have ready cash available and do not have to depend on bank financing, mortgagees or selling other properties to raise funds to buy your home. If you need your cash quickly, consider selling your home to “We buy houses for cash” buyers. In addition, these buyers take on the paperwork once you accept the offer and save you a lot of work and hassle. Within a few weeks or even days, you have your cash and move on to other things.

Certainty

One of the headaches for any homeowner who has put their house up for sale is the buyer changing their mind midway through the sale process, especially at an advanced stage putting the buyer back to square one. Luckily, when you sell to “We buy houses for cash” buyers, there are fewer chances of the sale falling through, especially due to financing issues.

These buyers have ready cash, so there is no risk of the loans or mortgages being rejected.  Moreover, the sale process happens fast so the buyer will have no time to explore and find a better deal or a different house and drop yours, making you start again.

No commission or fees

When you sell your home to “We buy houses for cash” buyers, you often avoid parting with real estate agent’s fees and commissions, which are common with the traditional sale. Most of the time, you invite cash buyers directly and once they give their offers, you choose the best one and start the sale paperwork. Thus, when selling to cash buyers, you can potentially keep more of the sale proceeds and meet the needs you intended as you put the property on sale.

Conclusion

Selling to “We buy houses for cash” has so many benefits and you should consider it, especially if you want to sell your house fast and with little hassle. However, this option comes with a few trade-offs, for example, the price is usually lower than the market price because these buyers buy at discounts. It’s up to you to weigh the pros and cons and make the decision that suits you.
