7 Tips for Selling Your House to a House Buying
Company
You know that old saying of, why would you go to
a Chevy Dealership to talk about Fords? If you
dont, let me explain it. People will often go to
a company and ask about their competitors as if
the competitor is the one who built the product.
This can often happen in real estate. You will
talk to an agent and they will tell you all of
these myths about house buying companies. And why
do they do this? So that you will give them your
business.
But this article is coming from the mouth of a
Cash House Buying Company. We are a cash buyer
company who will buy your house within 10 days.
This process is an extremely quick and efficient
operation that take very specific steps.

value. Now, this is a key to selling your house

A house buying company is going to offer you
something on the lower spectrum of the range you
discovered. This isnt because we are just
cheapskates, but because most of the time, we are
buying as is.

As-Is Means As-Is I cannot tell you how many
times I have gotten a phone call from someone who
is just trying to get rid of their packrat
grandmothers house that she lived in for over 50
years. The person calling is usually saying that
they just inherited the home and dont know what
to do with it. This is the ideal situation to
illustrate as is. The seller and I will go and
take a look at the home. We will open the door to
mice scurrying out, leftover food that has been
there for ages, and stacks of junk that for some
odd reason, grandma wanted to keep. This is an
everyday occurrence for my team. We truly mean as
is when we say it. You dont have to repaint, fix
plumber, or get new carpet. We can take care of
it for you. Our goal at The Cincy House Buyer is
to make it a win-win situation. You get rid of
the come that you have no care quickly and we get
a home for our business.

The Money Actually Does Make Sense
A real estate agent is going to tell you that it
just doesnt make sense to sell to a house buying
company because you are going to lose out on the
money. But in all reality, there is a major
chance that you make almost as much as you would
have made with going through a real estate agent.
The key to this is to track where all of the
money is going when selling your home.
First off, time is of the essence. If you sell
your house to a house buying company, you dont
have to keep paying your mortgage while you are
selling it. Through an agent, it could take
months or even years to sell your home. This
means you are going to just keep making payments
on this home.

The Money Actually Does Make Sense
Secondly, Repairs, maintenance and curb appeal
all cost money. Are you going to be throwing an
extra 5,000 to 10,000 in on repairs and
replacements in your home? There is a major
chance you will need to in order to sell
it. Last but not least, what are you paying the
mortgage company, the real estate agent, the
closing costs, the extra hidden fees, etc? These
all end up piling up and the home that you listed
for 300,000 ends up really only making you
250,000. That is why selling you a house buying
company makes sense. You dont have to go through
all of that hustle just to get paid almost the
exact same amount of money.

Know That Not All House Buying Companies Are Equal
Okay, so there are multiple different house
buying companies and there are some bad apples
out there. This is why I think that house buying
companies get a bad rep. Some of the companies
will target people who they can take advantage
of. No, that is not us! Like I said earlier, we
want a win-win situation for both the buyer and
the seller. If it doesnt make sense to us for
you, we will tell you.

Time Is of the Essence
If you are looking to get rid of a home quickly,
then a house buying company is the best option
for sure. Most people who are not in a hurry,
dont need a house buying company. This all
returns back to making it a win-win situation. It
is similar to selling a car. You can sell the
car yourself, it just requires patience. But, if
you are in a rush, you can go and trade in the
car to a dealership. The dealer is going to give
you less than the free market would, but you get
rid of it quicker and with much less hassle.
This is how a house buying company works in
comparison to selling your house through an
agent. A house buying company is like the
dealership and selling your car on your own is
like using a real estate agent to sell. It all
depends on your time frame.

Keep Your Money
Paying up front is something that scam artists
will ask you to do. Dont ever pay anything up
front, even if it feels legit. There are people
out there who will claim to be real estate
investors, ask for an application fee, then
take your money just to never be heard from
again. Cash buyers dont need you to apply for
anything. They should take care of the whole
process. If they are requesting things that they
say will require money, be aware.

Sell Once You Trust the Company
Trust is the key to our company. We dont like to
buy a house if the person feels like they are
getting the short end of the stick. We have seen
it way too many times when a company takes
advantage of someone. Trust me, that just isnt
our style at The Cincy House Buyers. We work hard
to make sure everyone is happy with the process.
