You may wonder if selling a house for cash is a good idea. Check out these five reasons why it may be a good idea for you.

 

1. It's Simple and Easy

It can be a hassle to stage your home for the marketplace, list it with an agent and wait for a traditional buyer to show up. An investor can visit your home, make and offer and close at your convenience. With a traditional buyer, they are buying your home for a place to live with their family. While they hope to make a good investment, you can't really call them investors.

2. Buy Your Home As-Is

The investor is not planning to live in your home so the staging recommended by agents is not required. They see your home through the eyes of a business owner. If the numbers make sense, they are ready to do business with you as a buyer. They will not give you a list of repairs to do before closing either.

3. Flexible Terms

A cash investor may be willing to pay off your old loan or take over your payments for you. While the investors aren't legally required to tell you exactly who is making the offer or even why they want to purchase your home, they are looking for a way to create a win-win situation for you as the homeowner and the business-minded investor.

4. Certainty of Funds

When you put your home on the market in a traditional way, you may do all the work to find a buyer and still not get the cash. As a future homeowner themselves, the buyer needs to get a mortgage. Many things can derail this process. The bank's appraiser may not approve the price the buyer was willing to pay. The buyer may lose their job or lie on their application. Buyers will even get cold feet and back out on the contract. When these situations happen, it leaves you very disappointed. The process will cost you time and money.

5. Quick Closings

Whether you inherited the home, you've got a job in another city or simply are ready to move, you want to get the cash quickly. Investors have access to money to close. They want to turn your house into a good investment quickly too. So, it is pretty common for these house sales to go from contract to cash in less than two weeks.

 

While it may seem too good to be true, an investor is often a very good idea. As a house seller, do the numbers and consider all the hassle of selling your home the traditional way. You could be very happy you did.
