Pros of Selling To A Cash Buyer

Selling to a cash buyer definitely has it’s advantages, as outlined here:

When a cash buyer purchases a home, they are accepting the condition that the home is in. This can mean that you don’t need to worry about repairing any problems with the home. It can also mean that you save more time by not having to put the home in showroom condition in order to sell it. You won’t need to repaint, decorate, or worry about other things to ensure a buyer will give you top dollar. You will be getting less than the market cost for the home, but the repairs, decorating, and painting will be up to the buyer instead of you, so you won’t have to worry about paying for them.

Being able to sell your property in “as-is” condition is a huge plus for a lot of sellers. Most cash buying companies not only don’t care about repairs that need to be made, but also if your house is a mess or not 🙂 . Not having to clean for showings is great for a lot of Mom’s and Dad’s with a full schedule taking care of the children.

Also, when selling to a cash buyer you don’t have to worry about “buyer mortgage contingency” where if the buyer can’t get approved for a loan they can back out of the deal.

Lastly, another pro of selling to a cash buying home company is that you can avoid a lot of the usual costs and fees when selling the usual route (learn more about how much it can cost to sell your home here “How Much Does It Cost To Sell Your House“).

Cons Of Selling To A Cash Buyer

The biggest draw back of selling to a cash buyer that is a real estate investment company is that you will get less money for your property versus selling the traditional route to a buyer that gets a mortgage. It’s a give and take though, you aren’t having to make repairs or even clean up the property. It’s also important to note that they are a company and they are trying to make money.

With that being said there are some investors out there that will try to take advantage of you or worse, try and scam you out of money. Here is a great tip from the Balance:

But be wary. Some may ask for “application fees” and other upfront payments, meaning they’re probably just trying to scam you. Legit real estate businesses take their cuts at the end.

Additionally, if you’re already near foreclosure, some of these companies may try to stall you until you’re really desperate in hopes you’ll take even less. Get online and check out a company’s Better Business Bureau rating, and surf around for customer reviews and rip-off reports before you contact them.
