YOU'VE GOT CHOICES

What’s the best option for you to sell your home?

You have so many choices it can be overwhelming and confusing to decide the best way to sell your home. It all depends on your situation. But we will happily break your options down to help you decide.

Real Estate Agent

The most popular method for selling your home is hiring a real estate agent in exchange for a percentage of the selling price of your home. They handle certain tasks and provide advice for you to make important decisions and help get your house show ready.

Some brokers may even charge fees for certain tasks. It’s important to clearly understand what services the listing agent will provide for the big pay cheque you will be handing over.

For Sale By Owner

On the other hand, if you opt to sell your house without a realtor and do it yourself, there are still additional expenses to consider.

  • Will you pay for an appraisal or to have your home inspected?
  • Do you need to pay for professional photos?
  • There is a fee to list your home on the multiple listing service (MLS).
  • You are still responsible to pay the buyer’s agent’s commission.

How much will all this cost on top of the expenses to prepare your home for sale on the local market? Will it take longer to sell? Are you getting a headache just thinking about it?

Other Cash Buyers

You may have seen the signs around or a flyer on your door promising attractive offers. Be careful of the home flipper trying to take advantage. Some may lower their offer following an inspection.

Others, known as wholesalers, could delay the closing while they search for another buyer to sell for profit. Horror stories of unethical cash buyers walking away if they are unable to make the money they hoped leaving you with nothing by wasted time and your hopes crumbled.

myths of selling your house for cash.

LEARN THE TRUTH

Selling your house can be
an expensive headache!

To make your home attractive to potential buyers when listing your home on the housing market, you need to invest some money in hopes of getting a good sale price. You need to clean it and dispose of unwanted items. Maybe you need to patch and paint, replace carpet, and make other repairs and upgrades. What about landscaping?

In addition to the money you spend to make it look great, selling a home with a real estate agent or listing service is more money out of your pocket. And then there’s the cost of owning two homes while you wait for the closing date. So add commission, closing costs, bridge financing, maintenance, taxes, insurance, utilities, and double mortgage payments.

Once you get an offer, you must wait for the buyer’s financing to be secured and hope you can agree on a closing date.

Imagine this instead.

 

  • No Cleaning, No Repairs, No Upgrades, or Renovations – NO FUSS – Just Sell AS-IS. 

  • For Sale” signs, MLS listings, Staging or Open houses aren’t necessary  – the sale is completely private.

  • Zero commissions or hidden fees – 100% Cash Offer often before your next set of bills are due.

  • You choose the closing date that works for you – fast or take the time you need.

  • Take what you want and leave what you don’t need – just walk away with peace of mind.

  • We can even help you move, complete paperwork, and assist with other moving expenses.
