Selling to a Cash Buyer vs. Listing With an Agent in Orlando

Listing with an agent can get a higher sale price. But after commissions, repairs, and months of holding costs, the money you actually keep can be closer than you think, and some houses or situations just don’t fit a traditional sale. Dive into the details below to compare your options.

Speed: close in as little as 7 days

You can get rid of the headache of that property fast and avoid paying any more utility payments, tax payments, insurance payments, mortgage payments and more. While your house is listed and waiting to close, you have to figure in all of the costs of holding that property during the time you have that property listed and are waiting for the property to close.

Repairs and cleaning

We don’t care how dirty your house is or how many repairs are needed (a complete fixer? great! we love projects)... we’d like to make an offer on your house. This saves you time and money that you can keep in your pocket.

Closing costs

Because we are a full-service professional home buyer here in Central Florida, we make it easy for you. We pay the normal closing costs. What we offer you is what you get (of course minus any mortgage payoff or other encumbrances on the property).

So when you add up the time you could save by working with Sage Hill Properties, the no-hassle experience, and the money you’ll save on commissions, fees, and holding costs while you wait to sell the traditional route… for many area homeowners selling to a professional house buyer is the best viable option.

*An inspection contingency lets the buyer have time to do an inspection and back out of the sale or negotiate a new price if there are repairs that need to be done. If you can’t come to an agreement with the buyer, the buyer has the right to back out of the sale. Similar, a financing contingency gives the buyer the wiggle room to back out of the purchase if they can’t obtain a loan or if the home doesn’t appraise for the value that the bank needs to close the loan.

Here at Sage Hill Properties, we don’t use bank financing so you don’t have to worry about our ability to close on a deal.
