If you have heard of cash buying, you probably have been told that selling your home to a cash buyer can save you money. But how is this possible? Even though cash buyers’ offers are typically slightly lower than current housing market prices, you save in other areas when selling to them.  

Even people with solid financial plans can run into trouble on their payments. There are many circumstances that can cause someone to be behind on mortgage payments including having to pay off unexpected, expensive medical bills or facing unemployment. No matter what your circumstance may be, falling behind on mortgage payments can feel overwhelming–even hopeless. Here are some potential solutions to keep in mind.

When you sell your home for cash to a home buying company, there is first an evaluation process. This evaluation is what ultimately determines how much a home buying company is willing to buy your property for. Reputable home buying companies will always offer a fair price for your home.  

One of the most daunting parts of selling your home is preparing it to be sellable through costly remodeling, extensive cleaning, and meticulous staging. Don’t you wish that you could just skip all of that and sell your home completely as-is? When you sell to a home buying company, selling your home as-is is possible.

A loved one passing away can be a very emotionally trying time. On top of all of the emotions, there is often the added responsibility of figuring out how to divide their assets. Sometimes the best thing to do with the more valuable assets, especially homes, is to sell them.

If you’ve ever sold a house before, you know that you never receive the full selling price at closing. A big chunk of your proceeds is deducted as commission. But this never happens when you sell to a cash buying company. They never charge commission, and for several good reasons.

You traditionally have to make repairs when selling a home. But that’s not the case when you sell your home to a cash buyer. No repairs are ever needed. The cash buying company will purchase your home “as is.” 

If you have a less-than-perfect home you need to sell, you know how difficult a traditional home sale can be. The process can be costly and take months. At the same time, you may worry that your home may not qualify for a cash sale. Don’t worry; cash buying companies purchase homes in all kinds of conditions and circumstances.

People choose to sell their homes for cash for a variety of reasons. They may need to avoid foreclosure or settle debt, or they may be going through a divorce or other life change. Regardless of the reason, a cash sale can be beneficial—unless you’re not quite ready to move. But, a rent-back can be a solution to that problem.

There are many different scenarios in which you might have to sell your home in a matter of weeks. These include, but are not limited to, unexpected professional opportunities, abrupt changes in your family life, and tenant problems. Only having a few weeks can be very stressful, but you can successfully sell and move in that time by selling your home to a cash buyer.
