Stages Of A Home Sale
Pre-Listing
Before your house goes on the market, you will likely have to do some improvements to get a smooth sale. Some of the fixes will be cosmetic. The aim for these is to get more buyers through your door and a higher price point. Others may be more like repairs – replacing a roof, fixing leaking showers, replacing windows, etc. Depending on the projects you choose to do, this could take a few days, or a few weeks. If you encounter problems along the way, it may be longer than you originally planned for.
Listing
This is the waiting period. While your house is on the market, your time will be spent getting ready to move and keeping the house clean! You will hopefully have showings through the week and open houses.You are waiting for the right offer to come in on your house.
Escrow
After you accept an offer, you still need to sell your house. Once you accept the offer, your house will be thoroughly looked at as well as your buyers finances. As inspections and appraisals happen, you could very likely end up in negotiations again. If your house appraises for less than the previously agreed upon price, you may need to talk about money. Or if inspections show a number of issues, you may be fixing up the house before closing on the deal. In the end, you may end up not selling to them at all due to the amount of money or fixes the buyer is asking for. Whatever ends up happening, you are looking at about 30 days in the escrow process.
Home Sale
It’s finally over!! Depending on the deal that you worked out, you have likely moved out of the house by this time! After you’ve paid all of the closing costs, you’ll take your proceeds and get to move into the next chapter of your life!

Why Choose A Cash Buyer For Your Home Sale
Ease
Selling your home to a cash buyer streamlines the transaction process by eliminating the need for lender involvement, reducing paperwork, and simplifying the closing process. This can result in a smoother and faster transaction for you!
Cash offers also often come with fewer contingencies compared to financed offers. For example, buyers may waive appraisal and financing contingencies since they’re not relying on a lender’s valuation or loan approval. You also will likely not experience any requests for repairs or credits as you move through the closing process.
Fast Close
Since accepting a cash offer bypasses the loan approval process, selling your home can close much faster than deal done the traditional way. If you need your home sale to happen quickly and not leave deals up to financing problems, cash offers are the offers to accept!
No Hidden Fees
A cash buyer is able to provide all of the money to purchase your home up front. This also gets rid of any need for the buyer to get a loan approval, which means you won’t have any hold ups with the process or receiving a mortgage.
