Can I Sell My House Without a Realtor?
Can you sell your house without a real estate agent? The answer is definitely. If the answer is yes, then why do so many people use realtors to sell their homes? Real estate agents do add value to the selling price. They will advertise your property, set up open houses, contact other realtors with interested buyers, and set up potential buyer tours. The list goes on and on. Of course, it is easier to have someone else do the work for you, but there is a cost. Most real estate agents receive a 3% commission. Who pays the commission? The seller! If the buyer also uses a real estate agent, who pays their commission? The seller! If you sell your house for $200,000, you would pay $12,000 to the real estate agents.
Would you love to save $12,000 on the sale of your house? Do you have a house that is not selling? Is your real estate agent less than confident in selling your home? Are your open houses getting interest from buyers? Is your listing expired? Are you fed up with giving your hard-earned money to someone else? If I don’t use an agent, how do I sell my house?
What is the solution? You can always try to sell your house by yourself. Does that sound like a good use of your time? Probably not. Would it be exciting to find someone who will buy your house in any condition and save you thousands of dollars? If this sounds like something you would be interested in, then I would recommend finding a real estate investor. Real estate investors will buy your house, no matter the condition. Real estate investors typically do not charge a commission for their services.
I know what you are thinking. Aren’t real estate investors looking to pay a ridiculously low price for my property that I will no
t make any money. You’ve seen the bright yellow signs on the side of the road with big letters letting you know they will buy your house fast. And for cash!! It has to be a scam. Right?
The right real estate investor can offer a great alternative to real estate agents. They can buy your house in any condition. No need to rehab your kitchen, add another bathroom, or make your home showroom ready. They can buy your house for cash which means they can get house sold in as little as 7-10 days. They can save you thousands in real estate agent commissions because there are no agents in the process. They can take care of all the paperwork and close the deal for you. If saving money, getting a check quickly, and not having to do a thing to sell your house, then a real estate investor may be your best option.
