Selling Your Baltimore House To Us At CR of Maryland vs. Other “Investors”
If you’re thinking about selling your house, it’s smart to consider all of your options before you choose the one that helps you reach your goals.
Very few people weigh their options, so you’re taking a very smart first step that most overlook.
You see, when most people think about selling their house directly to a cash buyer, they automatically think it’s a “done deal”. Their hope is that the investor will quickly close and pay top price as most promise. However, what most people don’t realize is this: Most investors don’t have the cash to buy your house!
In the grid below, we’ve broken down the two ways to sell your house so that you can compare your options and make an informed decision.
Selling to another "investor" | Selling to an agent | ||
---|---|---|---|
Commissions/ Fees: | None | None | 5-6% of sales price |
Who Pays Closing Costs? | None - We pay all costs | To profit more - SOME will have you pay closing costs | You pay half |
Inspecting & Financing Contingency*: | None | They need "partners approval" | Yes, you will have to make repairs |
Appraisal Needed | None - We make cash offers | Same as above | Yes, the buyers lender will need an appraisal |
Average Days Until Sold: | Immediate cash offer | 7 or more days | 30 days after they find a buyer |
Number of Showings: | 1 (Just Us) | It depends | countless |
Closing Date: | The date of your choice | 30-60 +/- days after accepting buyers offers | Based on the buyer and their lender |
Who Pays For Repairs: | None - We pay for all repairs | Negotiated during inspection period | You |
When you need to sell your house quickly, it’s important that you deal with a company that will do what they say. Too many investors make promises that they simply can’t fulfill. When you ask the right questions, you start to see who is the best option.
Some people choose to list their house through a real estate agent because they hope to get a high price from a buyer. But they overlook all the costs, fees, expenses, and time required for that to happen, and they also often forget that a buyer will almost always negotiate for a lower price.
Most people turn to an investor because they want to be done… They want to sell the property without having to make any repair and pay the fees that come with dealing with a realtor, but they often find the right “investor” is not as easy as one might think.
Here are some important questions if you’re already dealing with an investor:
• Do they have an office?
• Do they really have the cash to buy? Ask for proof of funds.
• Are they really going to buy your property or will they be selling the contract once it’s signed? These investors are called “wholesalers”, and they’re simply a middle man, not a direct buyer with cash.
• Can they show proof on the last 5 properties they have bought?
At CR of Maryland, we might not offer you the high price that you would list your house for… but there are other benefits you get by selling directly to us… plus you’ll save a ton of money! We invite to come into our office and meet our team so that we can discuss your options with you.
For example…
When you want to sell, you’ll probably hear from different types of real estate professionals who want to help.
Some will be real estate agents who want to list your house and try to find a buyer. However, there’s no guarantee that they’ll find that buyer. Some will be “wholesalers” who are really just “middle men”. They don’t have their own money to buy, they’re just finding houses for others — these folks tend to low-ball you, and often don’t even bother trying to see the house before the buy. They’ll often just give you an offer over the phone without seeing the house… and they might not even live in this state or even in this country!
… But WE are the actual buyers and we have the funds available right now to buy your house. We’ve done thousands of real estate transactions in the area. We’ll meet you face-to-face and shake your hand and work with you.
There is a huge difference between these types of real estate professionals. If you want to sell quickly, put money in your pocket, and work with a trusted local BUYER then we maybe be the best choice for you.
Fortunately, there’s no obligation to find out!
You can get rid of the headache of that property fast and avoid paying any more utility payments, tax payments, insurance payments, mortgage payments, and so on. For example, if you have $1,000/month in bills, and you have to wait 3 months for a buyer to be found, that’s $3,000 out of your pocket you’ll have to pay before the buyer gives you money. What if you could have just sold faster and skipped paying that money?
(There’s nothing wrong with having an agent list your house, but their service can be slow and expensive, so it’s not right for everyone.)
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’d like to make an offer on your house right away.
You’ll save time and money and a TON of hassle of trying to clean up.
Because we are a full-service professional house buying team serving the Baltimore market, we specialize in making it easy for sellers like you. We pay all closing costs (and there are no fees or commissions tacked on the end, like what you’d have to pay a real estate agent).
So when you add up the time you could save by working with CR of Maryland, the no-hassle experience, and the money you’ll save on bills, commissions, fees, and holding costs while you wait to sell the traditional route… for many area home owners selling to a professional house buyer is the best viable option.
