4 Reasons It Can Be Better to Sell Directly to a Real Estate Investor in Arizona

You’ve decided it’s time to sell. The next question is whether to hire a real estate agent in Arizona or sell the house directly. Both paths are legitimate. Here is when a direct sale to a local investor is often the better fit.

Time. Listing still averages around 90 days to a contract, then another month or more to close — if the buyer’s financing and appraisal hold. We can often make an offer within 24 hours and close in as little as 7 days, or later if you need time to move.

Repairs and showings. Agents need the house to show well. That means cleaning, staging, and living through appointments. We make one visit. We buy as-is, including houses with foundation issues, mold, bad roofs, or tenants.

Cost. Seller commissions of about 6% plus roughly 2% in closing costs come out of your pocket on a listing. We charge no commissions and we pay the closing costs. The purchase price on a listing may be higher on paper. After fees, holding costs, and concessions, the check you actually keep can be smaller.

Certainty. Retail sales fall through when inspections, appraisals, or loans fail. A cash offer from the people buying the house removes those contingencies. If you want to run the numbers for your Casa Grande, Maricopa, Arizona City, Eloy, or Coolidge house, use the form or call (520) 261-6166. Take the offer or leave it. You’ve got nothing to lose by seeing the number.
