When most people consider selling their homes, the first thing that comes to mind is typically calling a real estate agent. Next, thoughts
usually turn to how much the listing process with an agent costs, and
then they consider all of the work that lies ahead on the road to
selling. So read on as we explore four things you may not know about
selling your home with a Belleville real estate agent.
Costly
You may not know that the commissions can be expensive when you are selling your house with a Belleville real estate agent. With an average
home price of $375,000, six percent in commissions comes to a total of
$22,500. When you add this to the other expenses involved with listing,
including the prep work, marketing, and professional photography, along
with potential broker fees, it can take a big chunk of your profits from
the sale. On the other hand, you can avoid paying commissions with a
direct sale to a professional investor like those at Cardinal Creek
Properties. There are no hidden fees to worry about coming off the top
at closing; at Cardinal Creek Properties, our offer, which you will
agree is fair, is the amount you will receive at closing in cash.
Time-Consuming
The amount of time that could potentially pass while your home is on the market is another thing you may not know about selling your house
with a Belleville real estate agent. Regrettably, this information is
not something the agent can provide you with, nor can they promise your
home will sell. However, an agent can give you a general estimate of the
number of days homes are sitting on the market before selling. If this
leaves you feeling less than comfortable, making a direct sale means you
will have a guaranteed closing date. Professional investors like those
at Cardinal Creek Properties are more than happy to work with you,
setting the closing date at your convenience for your moving plans.
Not the Only Solution
Something else you may not know about selling your house with a Belleville real estate agent is that other options can help you sell
your home. For example, maybe the thought of vacating the premises
repeatedly for showings during your dinner is not for you. Or, perhaps
you have a mountain of repairs that need completion before listing, and
you would rather not endure living in a construction zone or paying to
repair and update a home you are leaving behind. Another solution to
sell your home is through a direct sale for your house as-is. When you
work with a direct buyer like those at Cardinal Creek Properties, you
will receive all of the details on how much you could sell for on the
traditional MLS with an agent vs. how we reached the offer for your home
as-is which you will agree is fair.
