Many homeowners believe real estate agents are essential for selling property, but at Columbia Cash Home Buyers, we’ve helped hundreds of Midlands families prove otherwise. Let us show you the significant benefits of selling your home directly!
The first advantage might be obvious, but it’s worth emphasizing…
NO COMMISSIONS!
Real estate agents typically charge 6%+ commission on your home’s sale price, even if you end up doing most of the work yourself. That’s before additional agent fees, administrative costs, marketing expenses, professional photography, and countless other charges. When you sell directly to us, you’ll save THOUSANDS in unnecessary costs.
While traditional selling requires advertising and showing your property, keeping that extra money in your pocket makes a tremendous difference during your transition. Moving to a new home always involves unexpected expenses – that’s just reality. Having those additional funds available will significantly reduce your stress and make your move smoother.
You Run The Show
Don’t want strangers walking through your home this weekend? With a direct sale, you’re in control. When working with agents, they often dictate the schedule. While you technically remain the owner, hiring an agent means they’ll (hopefully) do their job by bringing numerous potential buyers through your property.
This means accommodating weekend viewings where you’ll need to vacate, evening appointments, and other disruptions that can happen with minimal notice. Throughout the entire listing period, you’ll need to maintain your home in perfect showing condition, adding significant stress to your daily life.
Your Terms, Your Way
Agents are inherently focused on maximizing their commission from your home sale. This means they may insist on higher pricing even when you might prefer a quicker, more flexible sale. Even if you’re eager to move forward, agents are motivated to squeeze out every possible dollar. Can they truly prioritize your interests when their own financial gain is directly tied to your sale price?
Additionally, selling directly gives you complete control over all timing aspects. You decide when buyers can move in, when you need to vacate, and when closing occurs. You set clear terms about what repairs you’ll address, which ones you won’t, and exactly how much you’re willing to invest in fixes. By selling on your own, you maintain full decision-making power throughout the contract process, without pressure from an agent who might prioritize their commission over your needs.
Few Cash Sales Fall Through
As a fundamental real estate principle, “cash is king.” When you work with Columbia Cash Home Buyers, you’ll benefit from our streamlined, all-cash process. Closings typically take just days rather than months compared to traditional bank-financed sales. You won’t experience the anxiety of waiting for buyers to secure financing. As experienced cash buyers with over 10 years serving the Columbia area, we pay directly without banking complications. Our transactions rarely fall through, and you’ll save substantially on repairs, staging, and other traditional selling expenses.
Selling directly to our family-owned business saves valuable time, which translates directly into financial savings. Consider the money you’ll save on property taxes, utilities, insurance, and mortgage payments by selling faster! While our cash offer might initially appear lower than a traditional listing price, many sellers actually net more money after accounting for all the commissions, fees, and holding costs of conventional sales. Plus, you’ll avoid the significant stress and privacy concerns of having your home on the market (including strangers constantly driving by and sometimes even peering through your windows – it happens more than you’d think!).
