Selling to Horizon Home Buyers vs. listing with a local WA agent
Even in a seller's market like WA, it's smart to look at your options and see what will actually help you reach your goals. You may get a higher "top line" price listing with a local Spokane agent, but that doesn't always mean more money in your pocket or less headache.
| Compare | Selling with an agent | Sold to Horizon Home Buyers |
|---|---|---|
| Commissions / fees | 6% on average, paid by you, the seller | None |
| Who pays closing costs? | 2% on average, paid by you, the seller | None. We pay all costs |
| Inspection & financing contingency* | Yes. Sales can fall through | None |
| Appraisal needed | Yes. The sale is often subject to appraisal | None. We make cash offers |
| Average days until sold | +/- 91 days | Immediate cash offer |
| Number of showings | It depends | 1 (just us) |
| Closing date | +/- 91 days after accepting an offer | The date you choose, as soon as 7 days |
| Who pays for repairs? | Negotiated during the inspection period | None. We pay for all repairs |
*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. Similarly, a financing contingency gives the buyer the wiggle room to back out if they can't obtain a loan or if the home doesn't appraise for the value the bank needs. Horizon Home Buyers doesn't use bank financing, so you don't have to worry about our ability to close.
Work the numbers and see which way helps you get there
When you really work the numbers you start to see the real benefits that each way of selling your WA house offers. Yes, here at Horizon Home Buyers we won't be able to offer you full retail value for your house, but we also offer other benefits that the traditional route can't.
Offer to close and cash in your hand in as little as 7 days
You can get rid of the headache of that property fast and avoid paying any more utility, tax, insurance or mortgage payments. If you list your house and wait 90+ days to close, you have to figure in all of the costs of holding that property while it's listed and while you wait for it to close.
Don't worry about repairs or constantly cleaning for potential buyers
We don't care how dirty your house is (we've seen worse) or how many repairs are needed. A complete fixer? Great, we love projects. This saves you time and money that you keep.
Don't worry about paying closing fees
Because we are a full-service professional home buyer here in WA, we make it easy. We pay for all of the closing costs. What we offer you is what you get, minus any mortgage payoff or other encumbrances on the property.
Add up the time and savings
When you add up the time you could save by working with Horizon Home Buyers, 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.
