Top 3 Reasons Why Selling to An Investor is a Smart Idea
January 24, 2018
People often ask me why someone wants to sell their house to a real estate investor. I usually say it’s because they are smart and know what selling in today’s market entails. Let me give you the 3 best reasons why it makes a TON of sense to sell to me.
- You sell your house NOW, not in 6 months, or a year, or at all. We are still deeply in a buyer’s market. Buyers want a turn-key and perfectly fixed-up house. Even if they like fixer-uppers, they most likely don’t have the money after the down payment to do remodeling or repairs. That costs a lot of money that sellers may not have.
- Investors, such as Align Property Group, LLC, buy your house “AS-IS”. Oftentimes, sellers don’t have the extra funds to do the repairs that the buyer’s lender requires of a property. We don’t require any repairs, not even termite. This is a huge cost savings, as well as time savings.
- Short escrow period. We can close escrow in as little as 5-10 business days. If you know any realtors or mortgage brokers, ask them how long their escrows are taking to close. I bet they will tell you that it’s taking longer and longer to close escrow. 30-60 days is normal now, if it closes at all. Lenders are making it very difficult to obtain financing.
The real estate market is getting tougher, not easier, to survive in. Smart people get that. Others believe the news stories about how real estate is improving, but it’s just not so. It is harder than ever to sell a house now. Ask anyone you know who is in real estate, whether it be a real estate agent, a mortgage broker, a plumber or an electrician, or a contractor. They will all tell you how hard it is to survive in today’s market.
I take on the burden because that’s what I do. You get to sleep at night knowing you made a great decision to sell quickly and move on with your life!
