Greenville, South Carolina based SC Home Offer LLC recently published a blog post titled Selling with a Greenville Real Estate Agent vs. Selling to a Local Investor. The blog discusses the advantages and drawbacks of several ways of selling one’s home and is intended to help Greenville residents make better, more informed choices if they are considering the future sale of their home. When selling one’s home, understanding all the options available can make a world of difference. The blog post can be found at https://www.schomeoffer.com/selling-with-a-greenville-real-estate-agent-vs-selling-to-a-local-investor/
Hiring a real estate agent is the path most commonly chosen by home sellers. It involves paying the agent a commission of about 5-6% if they are successful in their attempts to sell the house. However, there are a number of other costs associated with listing one’s home for sale. Marketing is one major cost, for instance, with many home sellers wanting or needing to make use of marketing tools beyond just their agent to ensure their home sells in a timely manner. This could involve a range of services, from professional photography and virtual tours to premium listings.
Repairs are another major cost involved when one hires a real estate agent. Even if one’s home is in great shape, there is always something that needs to be fixed, and the costs of minor repairs around the house or even major repairs (the necessity of which one may not have previously been aware of) can build up. Other costs one might need to consider include staging, holding costs, closing costs and cleaning. Working with an agent does, however, have the potential to bring in the highest possible price for the property in question.
Next on the list of considerations is time. As the blog post says, “When you hire an agent to help you sell your house in Greenville, they will shoulder a good portion of the effort that goes into selling. That said, the process will require some of your time and effort as well. For example, you will likely have to spend time keeping the property clean and ready for those last-minute showings, making repairs and upgrades to the property before it hits the MLS, marketing the property on sites other than the MLS, vacating the property when someone requests to come see it, waiting for an offer, hoping you will get your asking price, reviewing offers from potential buyers, negotiating with potential buyers, waiting for the escrow process to be completed and dealing with inspectors and appraisers.”
One might go through all of this and still fail to sell their house, however, which is why investors are generally considered more reliable. When one sells their home to an investor in Greenville, the value of the sale is relatively smaller in comparison—but the money saved on repairs and other costs normally associated with selling a home more than make up for it.
