Selling Directly To Local Buyers vs. Listing With A Local Agent
Even in a seller’s market, it’s smart to look at your options to see how you can best reach your goals with the sale of your Ocala property. While you may be able to get a higher sales price listing with a local agent, that doesn’t always boil down to more money in your pocket or less headache. Dive into the details below to compare your selling options.
Selling with a Real Estate Agent | SOLD to Local Ocala Buyer | |
---|---|---|
Comissions/Fees: | Up to %6, paid by you, the seller | None |
Who Pays Closing Costs? | 2% on average is paid by you, the seller | In most cases, closing costs are covered. |
Inspection & Financing Contingency*: | Yes, sales can fall through | None needed |
Appraisal Needed: | Yes, the sale is often subject to appraisal. | No, we make cash offers. |
Average Days Until Sold: | 91 Days on average | We provide immediate cash offers and close quickly. |
Number of Showings: | May vary from agent to agent | 1 (Just us) |
Closing Date: | 30-60 days after accepting buyer's offer on average | The date of YOUR CHOICE. |
Who Pays For Repairs? | Negotiaed during the inspection period | 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 of the sale. Similarly, 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 Ocala Real Estate Buyers, we don’t use bank financing so you don’t have to worry about our ability to close on a deal.
