Direct Home Buyer: How Does That Work?

Direct Home Buyer: How Does That Work?

Oct 11, 2019

What Is a “Direct Home Buyer?”

Direct Home Buyers negotiate directly with the homeowner, bypassing the need for a real estate agent. This means that the homeowner keeps more money from the sale because they do not need to pay the Realtor commissions.

Direct home buyers like Upward Home Solutions will even pay all the fees like closing costs.

You may be asking yourself “Who will pay cash for my house?” “How do I sell a house quickly?” “Who buys homes for cash?”

Upward Home Solutions does not want to help you sell your house. We buy houses. For cash. On your timeline.

The traditional way to sell a house

You’re probably familiar with the way most houses are sold in the US.

If you’ve ever seen a FOR SALE sign in front of a house, gone to an open house, or browsed the MLS online, you have participated in the retail market for real estate.

When a person want to sell a house, it’s traditional to hire a real estate professional who handles all the paperwork, listing, and negotiation of the sale of the house. The Realtor becomes your agent. At the conclusion of the sale of the house, they will take their fee from your profit, generally 3-10% of the selling price.

When a homeowner uses a Realtor, the house goes “on the market.” Repairs are made, a price is chosen, it is “listed” online and often in the newspaper. Going this route also means that the homeowner will have showings. These can be “open houses” or privately scheduled events, but there will be strangers coming through the house and the homeowner is encouraged to not be present.

Other headaches in the retail home selling process include negotiations on price, inspections, remedy requests, and delays with closing while the buyer tries to get financing.

There Is Another Way

Did you know there is a way to sell your house that is faster, less expensive, and more convenient? You will skip the showings, inspections, repairs, remediations, and more by working with a direct home buyer.
