Are you planning to sell your house? Have you considered selling to a real estate investor? Below, we give four reasons why selling your house to a real estate investor may make perfect sense.

Read on. At the end, we’ll give you contact information in case you want to learn more about the advantages of selling your house to a real estate investor instead of selling it the traditional way.

Sell your Howey-in-the-Hills house fast without the headaches of a traditional sale

Real estate investors offer fast closing. In fact, most investors can close on your house in days instead of months.

They can close quickly because, unlike owner-occupant home buyers who need a mortgage to purchase a home, investors can circumvent the traditional home-buying process by eliminating the need for home inspections, appraisals, and mortgage approvals.

Moreover, they provide you with peace of mind by assuming all the risks of purchasing a house that may need repairs or may have other problems such as code violations, open permits, or title issues.

Sell your Howey-in-the-Hills home, no matter its condition or location 

Forget about the troubles of cleaning, organizing, repairing, and staging your home in order to sell it. Instead, sell it to a real estate investor in an as-is condition.

Most investors will buy your house regardless of its condition. So don’t worry if:

• You have neglected to make repairs or update the house
• House has been fire damaged
• House has suffered from a natural disaster such as flooding or wind damage
• There is termite damage
• There are mold, lead paint, asbestos or other toxic contaminants
• Your house has structural issues
• You have code violations
• Tenants have trashed your house
• You have issues with your septic system
• You have old and unreliable furnace, HVAC, plumbing or electrical system
• You have open work permits
• House has been condemned or has a demolish order

Your home’s location, much like its condition, can make it very difficult to sell your house.

The reluctance of banks to lend money for homes in troubled areas, such as buffer zones between residential and industrial properties or those on the street with abandoned and foreclosed homes, makes selling almost impossible.

Fortunately, real estate investors will buy your house regardless of its condition and quite often regardless of its location.

Eliminate the hassles and costs of listing your home with a real estate agent

You don’t have to go through the hassle of interviewing real estate agents and the worry that your agent may not follow through on their promises.

A major benefit to selling your house to a real estate investor is avoiding all the headaches of listing your home with an agent. Including:

• No need to clean, declutter and stage your house before putting it on the market
• No open houses or realtor caravans
• No buyer appointments or nosey neighbors
• No need to have a for sale sign on the property

Best of all, you’ll save a bundle on the real estate commission, which can easily amount to 6% or 7% of the house's sales price.

Avoid buyer contingencies and get a guaranteed sale

It is not uncommon for there to be many contingencies in a typical sales contract. Home-buying contingencies give the buyer a way out of completing the purchase of a home, without loss of the earnest deposit, penalties or legal consequences if certain circumstances arise.

Some unscrupulous buyers use contingencies as a strategy to change the terms of an offer f to enhance a deal for the buyer’s benefit after the seller has invested money and time into a deal. 

Typical buyer contingencies include:

• Attorney review contingency: The contract can be made subject to a contingency that allows the buyer’s lawyer to approve it before it binds the buyer.”

• Buyer’s inspection contingency: This contingency allows the buyer to get out of the contract or demand repairs if the buyer is not satisfied with the condition of the house.

• Mortgage/Finance contingency: This contingency explicitly states that the home's sale is contingent on the buyer’s ability to get financing. It usually specifies the type of financing, terms, and the amount of time in which the buyer has to apply and be approved for the loan.

• Insurance contingency: This clause permits the buyer to withdraw from the sales contract if he cannot receive a satisfactory insurance commitment.

• Appraisal contingency: An appraisal contingency allows the buyer to back out of the purchase if the sale fair market value is determined to be lower than what he’s paying.

• Home sale contingency: A home sales contingency purchases the home contingent upon the buyer selling their current house.

Selling your house to an investor means avoiding all buyer contingencies and closing delays. Be rest assured that when you sign a sales contract with a real estate investor, your house is sold, guaranteed.
