I could have sold my home in Colorado Springs the traditional way.
There were no major issues with the property.
With a few updates and sprucing up, I’m sure I could have found a buyer. I simply didn’t want to deal with the delays and hassle of a conventional sale. I don’t like interacting with real estate agents. I was reluctant to waste time on painting and cleaning. Staging, inspections and appraisals are stressful and can lead to all sorts of concerns. What if the home inspection had found an issue with my roof? What if the appraisal came back much lower than expected? Any potential buyer is a risk due to the contingencies of bank lending. There are also endless negotiations associated with a potential buyer and the very real possibility of the deal falling through at any stage along the way. By comparison, a cash home buyer is much simpler. I found an online form that was very easy to fill out. The cash home buyer answered with an offer within twenty-four hours. I wasn’t obligated to accept. There were no fees, inspections, appraisals or requests for repairs. The cash home buyer took care of all of the details, paperwork and closing fees. There was very little for me to do. I didn’t even need to clean the house. They accepted the property in as-is condition, and I closed on the sale in under a week. In my opinion, the benefits of working with a cash home buyer far outweigh the drawbacks. I might have been able to get a bit more money through the more traditional option, but the costs, stress and delays would have been excruciating.
