Selling a house in Denver doesn’t always have to involve an agent, a listing on the MLS or months of waiting for an uncertain outcome. There are selling alternatives! In our latest post, we explain the home selling secret more and more people are using to sell their houses in Denver, Colorado!
For many properties, people are discovering that it pays to skip the agents and the lenders and go directly to the source. An experienced and professional home buyer such as VanWest Homebuyers, will make you a fair offer and be able to help you sell your house quickly, without any stress or hassle.
You might think that a direct sale won’t get you as much for your house, but the actual amounts you will receive are likely much closer than you might think. A direct sale to a company such as VanWest Homebuyers will help you save time and money in a multitude of ways. Some of the perks of a direct sale are listed below!
Financial Perks
No Commissions
We are direct buyers, so you won’t have to worry about paying thousands of dollars to an agent when your house sells. We want to pay you directly as the direct buyer. This will save a fortune on commissions.
No Agent Fees
In addition to commissions, agents will often tack on additional costs. These can range from administrative fees to that run to Kinkos or even the sandwich platter served at your open house. If you do sign with an agent, make sure you read the fine print so you know what you are responsible for.
No Listing Costs
Agents pay a fee to be able to use the MLS. The cost to list your Denver house is often routed back to you. If you are trying to sell on your own, you can enlist the help of a “Flat Fee” MLS listing which is done through a third-party service.
No Marketing Expenses
You will not need to spend any money on professional photography, listing websites, an MLS listing or on home staging. There are many costs that go into successfully marketing a home. From hosting an open house to printing flyers… you can avoid all of these costs when you choose to sell directly to VanWest Homebuyers!
No Repairs
Fixing up a house for the MLS can be expensive. Once you make one repair, you will often find 10 more that need to be done. The costs can quickly snowball, forcing you to pay a small fortune before the house is even listed. When you sell directly, you are selling as-is. You don’t need to spend your time or money making repairs.
No More Taxes, Insurance or Utility Bills
Every day that you own the house it is costing you money in one way or another. Taxes, insurance, utilities, and monthly maintenance will add up faster than you might think. You are likely spending hundreds of dollars each month on the house separate from the mortgage. By eliminating these costs in days and not months, you will be able to keep a lot of money in your pocket!
Other Benefits
Plan Ahead
By knowing your closing date and sale price you will be able to plan ahead. You can find a new house, move and get situated all with ease. With a listing, you will be living in limbo, not knowing if or when the house will sell. Avoid the gamble and sell your house directly right now!
No Stress
When you work with a buyer such as VanWest Homebuyers, you can be assured that everything will be handled for you. All you need to do it sit back, relax and wait for your check!
No Waiting
There is no waiting around to find out if a buyer will show up. We are the buyer and we are ready to pay you directly for your home. Waiting and not knowing what will happen can be scary with such a large transaction!
No Strangers
You won’t have to deal with strangers walking through your house at all hours. For showings and open houses, it is often recommended that you clean up and get out. It’s like throwing a party t your house over and over again that you are never invited to!
No Cleaning
We know you have other things to deal with, so we don’t even ask you to clean-up. We will handle that too so you can put your focus on other things!
