Why Pick Us?
Selling to VS Selling Through
| Selling to Street View Properties | Selling through Agent | |
|---|---|---|
| How Long until my home is purchased? | 7-21 Days In Most Cases | On Average up to 90 Days, can be within 30 but not guaranteed. |
| Any Commissions Or Hidden Fees I will endure in the process? | Zero Fees, Zero Commissions, Closing Costs Covered. |
Anywhere from 7-8% of the total sale price, paid by you. |
| How Fast Can you close? | Tell us what timeline works best for you and your attorney and we will accommodate. | 30-60 Days after accepting the buyers offer. |
| Who Pays Closing Costs | We cover your closing costs. | 3% on average is what you, the seller, would pay for closing costs |
| My House Needs Work, Do I need to take care of it? | No, we buy in as-is condition and do not need the property to be clean or repaired. | Yes, repairs are required to be completed by the seller, in some cases without the repairs being done the buyer will not be able to make the purchase as the home will not pass an inspection and the lender will not approve the loan. |
| Is there a mortgage contingency with you guys? | No, we are paying 100% CASH, therefore we dont need to wait on any bank approvals | In most cases yes, the buyer will be trying to acquire financing to make their purchase. Not everyone gets approved. Just in the last 12 months there has been a 30% +- buyer fallout rate in the sense that they were not able to make the purchase due to an inability to acquire financing. Yikes, imagine working with someone for 60 days all to go back to square one |
| Do I need an appraisal | No, as aforementioned, we do not work with a bank to acquire funds to purchase we are buying Cash and AS-IS. | Yes, the property is typically going to be in need of an appraisal when working with third party funds |
| How Many times will you need to see my property? | We respect your time and don’t wish to have to revisit any property more than once. In some cases depending on the situation we may need to get a second opinion. Viewings are always scheduled ahead of time and with consent of course. | This is really case by case, but more likely than not there will be multiple people in and out of your property multiple times throughout the process and you will also probably have a few open houses |
| How Does the Process Compare Overall? | One of our team members will schedule a “walkthrough” or “appointment” with you and will come by the property to take pictures both inside and out and potentially a video of each floor if the pictures don’t suffice. Very similar to an Agent. We Dont however then use these pictures to make a public listing and attempt to attract buyers, we use the pictures to help our Risk Analysis Dept. create a responsible offer to present to you. | Agent comes out to the property for a walkthrough, gets a contract signed with you to be your agent for the next several weeks or until the property is sold. Either takes pictures of the property themselves these phones are really good now a days, or hires a professional photographer to take the photos for them on a separate date. The agent then posts the pictures along with a property description for your desired price they may have helped you arrive on. Then proceeds to wait for offers and viewing appointments to roll in. If you’re agent is a bit more on the experienced side, this can be a bit less painful but if you happen to take someone with less experience well lets just say that there may be offer calls coming in and getting un answered and unreturned, we’ve heard some nightmares. |
