It all depends on what you are looking to accomplish. If you’re looking for top market value and are not in a rush to sell, then listing with an agent would probably make more sense for you. However, if convenience, speed & certainty are more important to you and you’re ok with leaving a little bit of money on the table, then selling to a legitimate house buying company in FL may be beneficial to you.
If your house needs work and it can’t quality for regular financing, even if you hired a Realtor, they are still going to have to look for a cash buyer. So in addition to selling for a discount to a cash buyer, you would also need to pay the Realtor commissions, fees & closing costs. So in those cases we don’t think selling through a Realtor is the best play, since you can save money by selling directly to a cash buying company.
In addition to offering cash for houses in Florida, we also have a 2nd option that is called “Novation“. This option allows our sellers to make more money than a regular cash offer. With this method, we actually partner up with the sellers to sell the property to a 3rd party buyer. We make any necessary repairs to the property, pay all the commissions on the sale, and guarantee you a net price that is usually about 10-15% higher than a cash offer price. This option typically works best if the property is in decent or good condition.
Many people do not understand the pros & cons of listing a house with an agent. We would be more than happy to help you with this. Just fill in one of the webforms or give us a call and we’ll provide you with what we believe is the best course of action to selling your home in Florida.
