If you’re thinking of selling, you’re probably comparing your options and deciding how and to whom to sell. Read this article to learn why you should sell to an investor rather than a traditional buyer in and around Montreal…
To sell your home in the Greater Montreal area, you have several options. You could work with an agent who will advertise your home and try to find a buyer. Instead, you could advertise your home yourself and try to find a buyer. Or you could work with a real estate investor who will buy the house directly from you… and quickly. Here are the reasons to sell to an investor…
Reasons to sell to an investor rather than a traditional buyer in Greater Montreal :
It’s faster
To sell to a traditional buyer, that buyer must 
first be found by an agent… a process that can take months. Fortunately, you don’t have to wait that long. When you sell to a real estate investor, the sale can be completed quickly, often in as little as one or two weeks (depending on the investor). Since investors are themselves buyers, you already know who they are from the outset. So you don’t have to promote your products and go looking for the right buyer. So you can sell much faster!
What’s more, you won’t have to pay bills and taxes on your property while you wait for a buyer to be found. This can save you hundreds or even thousands of dollars in ongoing bills.
Reasons to sell to an investor rather than a traditional buyer in Greater Montreal :
No renovations
Not all houses are in perfect condition. Don’t worry, it 
happens. But if you’re selling to a traditional buyer, you’ll most likely have to pay out of pocket to repair the property and clean it up before a buyer even knows your home exists. But most investors buy houses as they are, which means you can save time and money (and a lot of trouble) by avoiding repairs and cleaning.
If the renovations are major, you won’t have to call in a contractor either. Yes, the investor may ask for a discount on the sale price, since HE’ll be doing the repairs for you, but it’s a small price to pay to be able to sell quickly and hassle-free.
Reasons to sell to an investor rather than a traditional buyer in Greater Montreal :
No guesswork
This is perhaps the most disturbing problem of all: when you sell to a traditional buyer, you assume (and hope) that they’ll pay you the asking price for the house… and if you wait several months and they negotiate a lower price, well, that’s not ideal. But when you sell to an investor, you know immediately what the investor will pay. You don’t have to accept their offer, but it’s an important first step to help you decide how to proceed.
There are several ways to sell a house. And while selling to an investor may not be the best option for everyone, it could be the best option for you.
