Selling your home can be a stressful and time-consuming process. You want to make sure you get the best price possible while also ensuring that the transaction goes smoothly. When it comes to selling your home, you may be wondering whether you should work with a real estate agent or a local real estate investor such as RUSTON CAPITAL. While both options have their benefits, there are several reasons why homeowners should consider selling to someone local. Below are a few reasons to consider when deciding.
- Speed of sale
One of the main advantages of selling to Ruston Capital is the speed of the sale. We are typically able to close on a property much faster than a traditional home sale. This is because we often have the cash on hand to make an offer and do not need to wait for financing approval. Additionally, we are not required to go through the same lengthy inspection and appraisal process that a traditional sale would require, which can save both time and money. This can be particularly appealing to homeowners who need to sell quickly, such as those who are facing foreclosure, a job relocation, an inherited property etc.
- No need for repairs or renovations
When you work with a real estate agent, they may advise you to make repairs or renovations to your home before listing it on the market. This can be costly and time-consuming, and there is NO GUARANTEE that the investment will result in a higher sale price. On the other hand, Ruston Capital is willing to purchase properties in as-is condition. This means that you do not need to spend ANY money or time fixing up your home before selling it. This can be a major advantage for homeowners who don’t have the time or money to make repairs, or who simply don’t want to deal with the hassle.
- No real estate agent commissions
One of the BIGGEST misconceptions is that if you sell with a Real Estate agent you’re going to get “top dollar” for your home. This is simply not true, especially if your home needs some TLC. When you work with a real estate agent, you typically pay a commission fee of around 5-6% of the sale price. This can add up to thousands of dollars and can significantly reduce the amount of money you make from the sale of your home. When you sell to Ruston Capital, there are no commissions to pay. This means that you get to keep more of the sale price, which can be especially beneficial if you are in a situation where you need to sell quickly.
4. Greater certainty of sale
When working with a real estate agent, there is always the possibility that the sale will fall through due to a variety of reasons. This can be frustrating for homeowners who have already invested time and money into the process. On the other hand, when selling to Ruston Capital, there is greater certainty of sale. This is because we make cash offers and close on the property quickly, which means that there is less risk of the sale falling through. As-Is really does mean As-Is when working with us!
- More control over the sale
When you work with a real estate agent, they will typically handle all aspects of the sale, including negotiating with potential buyers. Although this may sound enticing, this can leave you feeling like you do not have much control over the process. When you work with a Ruston Capital, you have more control over the sale. You negotiate directly with us and have a say in the terms of the sale.
In conclusion, there are several advantages to selling your home to Ruston Capital instead of working with a real estate agent. Ruston Capital can offer a faster sale, no need for repairs or renovations, no commission fees, more certainty of the sale, and more control over the sale. If you have been thinking about selling your home now or in the near future, it is worth consideration to give us a shot!
