Agents live in a world of suspicion. They will market a property in the hopes that they will find a buyer and be able to provide value to their clients. They utilize their networks and speculate on what a buying party will pay for a given property. The agent then negotiates with the buyers, then takes a percentage of the sale price if they come to an agreement that you also approve of. This process often takes 3 to 12 months and allows droves of people to walk through your private home. Agents provide a great marketing service and will find a large population to view your home while it is on display. If you have the flexibility to wait till they find the right buyer then a realtor is a good option. Just make sure you account for the commissions and the following negations that will center around repairs that the buyer will inevitably request. We, on the other hand, buy homes. We are the end buyer. Our company actually buys houses. Since we do this all the time, we have built systems and process around actually buying homes. We don’t ask you to fix anything, we pay with cash, we are able to make a quick decisions to buy your house and you can sell your house painlessly. Our sale isn’t contingent on bank financing so you avoid the long waits, the inspection reports and demands to fix things. We pride ourselves on being really easy to work with so selling your house is an easy experience. The time you save in our transaction, can easily be invested and often, you can make more money than a traditional sale.

The Title Attorney will help us get through this process and will draw up and complete any legal forms that are needed. There are many benefits to doing it this way, including no upfront lawyer fees. We buy houses like this regularly" } },{ "@type": "Question", "name": "How Do I Know You Are A Reputable Home Buyer?", "acceptedAnswer": { "@type": "Answer", "text": "Please be careful! Every “home buyer” will claim to be reputable. The better route is to ask better questions. Asking for impartial, external references will help validate or diminish your concerns. Some of the things you should ask are: – Are they registered with the Better Business Bureau? – Can they show you that they have proof of funds for the purchase? – Can they prove previous transactions by sharing a HUD Statement? – Can they give you references of other home owners who they have bought houses from? These simple proofs can help you make sure that you are working with a reputable home buyer who can ensure a safe and friendly transaction." } },{ "@type": "Question", "name": "Do You Buy Homes Outside Of North Carolina?", "acceptedAnswer": { "@type": "Answer", "text": "We don’t personally but we do have a big network of property investors who we know and trust.
