Selling Directly To Sell My House Fast Buffalo vs. Listing With A Local Agent

Even in a seller’s market, it’s smart to look at your options to see how you can best reach your goals with the sale of your Buffalo house. While you may be able to get a higher sales price listing with a local agent, that doesn’t always boil down to more money in your pocket or less headache. Dive into the details below to compare your selling options.

Who Pays For Repairs?Negotiated during the inspection periodWe pay for all repairs.
*An inspection contingency lets the buyer have time to do an inspection and back out of the sale or negotiate a new price if there are repairs that need to be done. If you can’t come to an agreement with the buyer, the buyer has the right to back out of the sale. Similarly, a financing contingency gives the buyer the wiggle room to back out of the purchase if they can’t obtain a loan or if the home doesn’t appraise for the value that the bank needs to close the loan.

Here at Sell My House Fast Buffalo, we don’t use bank financing so you don’t have to worry about our ability to close on a deal.

Work The Numbers And See Which Way Helps You Get There…

When you really work the numbers you start to see the real benefits that each way of selling your NY house offers.

Yes, here at Sell My House Fast Buffalo we won’t be able to offer you full retail value for your house, but we offer other benefits that the traditional house sale route can’t offer.

Like…

From offer to close and cash in your hand in as little as 7 days.

You can get rid of the headache of that property fast and avoid paying one more utility payment, tax payment, insurance payment, mortgage payment… you get the drill. If you list your house and wait 90+ days to close, you have to figure in all of the costs of holding that property during the time you have it listed and are waiting for the property to close.

Don’t worry about fixing anything or cleaning your house again and again for buyer after buyer.

We don’t care how dirty your house is (we’ve seen worse!) or how many repairs are needed (a complete fixer? great! we love projects). We want to make an offer on your house today. Let us save you time and put more money in your pocket.

No pesky closing fees. We’ve got you covered!

Because we are a full-service professional home buyer here in NY, we make it easy for you. We pay for all of the closing costs. What we offer you is what you get (of course minus any mortgage payoff or other encumbrances on the property). Pretty refreshing, eh?

So when you add up the time you could save by working with Sell My House Fast Buffalo, the no-hassle experience, and the money you’ll save on commissions, fees, and holding costs while you wait to sell the traditional route, it’s obvious why for so many homeowners in Buffalo selling to a professional house buyer is the best viable option.

Listing with a Real Estate Agent:

  1. Market Exposure:
    • The process may take longer, and you might need to invest time and money in preparing the property for showings.
  2. Price Negotiation:
    • The negotiation process may take time, and you’ll likely pay a commission fee to the agent upon closing.
  3. Closing Costs:
    • As the seller, you may still be responsible for some closing costs, and the agent’s commission will be deducted from your proceeds.
  4. Timeline:
    • The process can take months, and there’s no guaranteed timeline for closing.

Selling Directly to an Investor
Speed of Sale:

  • Pros: Selling to an investor is typically faster. Investors often buy properties in cash and can close the deal quickly, which can be advantageous if you need to sell urgently.
  • Cons: The speed might result in a lower sale price compared to the open market.

As-Is Sales:

  • Pros: Investors often buy properties as-is, relieving you of the need to make costly repairs or renovations.
  • Cons: The as-is nature of the sale may mean accepting a lower price than you might get after making improvements.

Certainty of Sale:

  • Pros: Working with an investor provides a more certain sale, as they are usually ready and willing to buy without the uncertainties of a traditional sale.
  • Cons: The trade-off for certainty may be a lower sale price compared to what you could potentially get on the open market.

No Commission Fees:

  • Pros: Selling directly to an investor often involves no real estate agent commissions, allowing you to keep a larger portion of the sale proceeds.
  • Cons: The absence of an agent might mean you have to navigate negotiations and paperwork more independently.

Ultimately, the best choice depends on your priorities, timeline, and the specific circumstances of your property. If maximizing sale price is your top priority and you have time to navigate the traditional selling process, listing with a real estate agent might be the preferred route. However, if speed, convenience, and avoiding potential repair costs are more important to you, selling directly to an investor could be a viable option.
