The traditional route of selling a home is complicated. The process can take months, involve significant expense and require a great deal of paperwork. Listing with a real estate agent is only the beginning and not a guarantee of sale. Just marketing the property often necessitates sprucing up, staging and open-houses. The realtor may suggest certain improvements to make the home more attractive. Once a potential buyer expresses interest, there are negotiations over price. Agreeing on a price isn’t the end of the haggling. The buyer will typically rely on bank funding. The bank will demand an appraisal to establish the value of the property. A low appraisal jeopardizes the entire deal. Plus, there is the home inspection. An inspector verifies the condition of major systems such as the roof, plumbing, electrical, foundation and HVAC. Anything that isn’t in safe, proper and dependable working order needs to be fixed before the bank will agree to a mortgage. Very often, the cost of repairs and updates falls to the current owner. Either that, or the expense comes out of the sale price. The original owner finds themselves with much less profit than planned. Once the closing finally goes through, there are considerable fees. For anyone looking to sell their home in Denton, Dallas, Fort Worth, Lewisville, Little Elm or any of the surrounding areas, the market can be particularly strenuous. However, there is a much quicker, far less stressful alternative. Cash home-buyers make cash offers without the need for a real estate agent, repairs, appraisals or inspection. They buy houses as-is, with zero fees and normally close within a week’s time.
