![Did you know? You don't have to put your home on the market to sell it?](https://a5s576.p3cdn1.secureserver.net/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/White-and-Blue-Did-You-Know-Twitter-Post.png?time=1725733517)
You can stop Googling “Sell My House Fast”! There is a “secret” way to sell your house that many people don’t talk about. It’s almost taboo for some people! In a world that is used to selling real estate one way, an alternative gets pushed to the wayside.
When you think of selling your house, your immediate reaction is to hire an agent! While this is an effective way to sell your house, it’s not your only option. And, depending on your situation, it may not be the best option.
CASH OFFERS SELL YOUR HOUSE FAST
Accepting a cash offer for your house could be the right fit for you! It comes with a lot less work and there is less guesswork about how much money you will actually come out with. It’s also on your timeline so you can close as quickly as you might need!
HIDDEN COSTS OF SELLING YOUR HOUSE
When you sell your house, it can be easy to be drawn in by what an agent will say your house is worth. Dollar signs start to flash across your eyes as you see what this might mean for your future. However, that is not the real number you will be getting.
Aside from finishing paying off your original loan, you have other costs to pay. One of those is of course, since you hired an agent, you will be paying their commission out of the sale of your house. This can range anywhere from 2%, to upwards of 8% of the purchase price. For some of those commissions, there is a payment to the buyer’s agent as well. CLICK HERE to read more about how buyers agents commissions are going to be handled starting in summer of 2024.
If you take a cash offer after hiring an agent, you still incur some or all of these costs. However getting a cash offer without placing your home on the market could help you avoid all of those costs. If you sell to ASDM Homes, we take care of all the closing costs. The offer you see is the amount that you get! Once you pay off the loan, the rest is yours! There is no guesswork when you work with us.
THE WORK IT TAKE TO SELL YOUR HOUSE FAST
Selling your house can be expensive. If you really want to sell your house for top dollar, it’s going to cost you. From new landscaping, to a fresh coat of paint, all the way to a new roof, updating your house will be a must. You want your home to have a new feel to it and allow potential buyers to be able to picture themselves in the home.
You also have to be aware of problems that could come up during an inspection. Even though you have an offer secured, depending on the deal, you could end up not getting the full offer in the end. While in escrow, you may find that things come out about your home that end up devaluing it. While you have an offer, don’t start counting on the money just yet.
If you were to go the cash offer route, you get to skip that drama. We give cash offers and skip inspections. What you see is truly what you can get.
GO AT YOUR SPEED
The real estate market sets its own pace. When you are looking to buy or sell at a certain price point, everything is determined by what everyone else is able and wanting to do. If you want a certain price point, you may need to wait awhile until someone is ready and able to buy at that point. If you need to sell the house as soon as possible, you may find yourself frustrated.
Cash offers allow you to sell your house at your own speed. If you need a fast closing, we can accommodate you! If you need to wait, cash buyers are always looking! The same may not be said for people looking to buy off the market. We could cut your time to close by half of a normal closing period. That gets money in your hands faster, and helps you move forward.
WHAT’S THE RIGHT ROUTE
Real estate is not a one size fits all world – that’s why there are multiple options! You should be informed of all of the options you have when selling what is likely your largest asset.
