On any given day, there are approximately five thousand active home listings and nearly five hundred new homes for sale in Phoenix, Arizona.
The market is extremely competitive.
Listing, staging, showing and selling a property can take a while. There are a great deal of requirements and paperwork involved, There are also a litany of costs that show up at closing. Many home sellers aren’t aware of these expenses and are caught by surprise. It’s customary for sellers to pay for inspection fees, property taxes, loan reconveyance fee, reconveyance recording fee, transfer tax, attorney fees and title insurance. The total costs add up to around six to ten percent of the purchase price of the home. The real estate agent commission is typically around five to six percent of the total price. When selling a home via the traditional method, settlement fees are due at the end of the transaction, when the title of the property is transferred over. With more and more people deciding to sell before the mortgage is paid off, there is frequently the need to settle up the mortgage balance as well. Fortunately, there is an alternative. Cash home buyers accept properties in any condition. They don’t require inspections, repairs or updates. With no need for the buyer to secure a loan, the stipulations of the bank don’t enter into the process. Getting started is as easy as making a phone call or filling out an online form. Answering a few simple questions results in an offer, often within 24 hours. The inquiry is free and there is no obligation. Choosing a local Phoenix company rather than a national home buyer avoids the sale of leads and getting pestered. If the offer is accepted, the closing normally happens in under two weeks. The seller walks away with cash in hand.
