How To Sell Your House Fast With A Real Estate Investor(Wholesaler)
Before I jump right into it let’s discuss what a real estate investor is or does. A real estate investor is someone who invests in real estate. They buy properties with cash. You ever see one of those “We Buy Houses” signs? That’s most likely a real estate investor looking for home sellers such as yourself to purchase properties. Check out the reasons to sell your house to a real estate investor below.
Pros of Selling Your Home to a Real Estate Investor
Avoid Paying Expensive Commission Fees: You don’t pay any commissions the way you would pay an actual Realtor. If an investor asks you for money up front then this is a scam. No investor will take money from you in fact they will either give you a small amount of money to make the contract legal or you will collect an EMD (earnest money deposit) which will be held at a title company either of your choosing or an agreed upon location between you and the investor to solidify the deal.
Cash Offers: Most will pay cash for your property.
Fast Closings: Most will close in under 30 days, sometimes in a week.
As Is: You don’t have to conduct any repairs on the property. Sometimes Investors purchase properties sight unseen.
Flexible Payment Options: Investors may take cash, credit, some may even assume your mortgage and make the payments, everything is negotiable and workable to fit your needs as the seller.
Below Market Value: You will sell your home for below market value when you decide that selling your home to a real estate investor makes sense to you. You need to figure out how important this is for you. Real estate investors are looking for properties that are priced at a discount. Is this something that you are willing to do knowing the potential value of your home? Investors will not pay market value for your property but they are also taking a risk by purchasing an “as is” property for cash.
Should you sell your home to a real estate investor? Yes! It’s important that you do your due diligence and ask them many questions. Some example questions to ask:
What is the name of your company? Some investors are individuals and may not have a company so you must decide if this is important to you.
Where is your office located? Some investors may have offices while some may work from home, again decide if this matters to you.
How many years have they been in business? This is important because it will tell you how experienced the investor is.
Sellers who need to sell quickly in tough situations these options are available to you and it could be a win win situation for you as the home owner. This allows you to sell your home quickly for cash (in most situations) and for the investor who is looking for properties at a discount. Think about these key tips when deciding on selling your home to a real estate investor.
