6 Reasons Homeowners Should Start Their Sales Process With ExpressOffers (Before Listing)
One of the most consistent things this life will offer is change! It’s no different when it comes to real estate. As technology has continued to advance so has the buying and selling of homes. While the process can be simplified more than ever before it’s crucial you have a professional along with you to ensure you’re not making a costly mistake!
That said, the days of automatically needing to get a home “ready” for sale on the market are over. There are many more options today that will help you as a homeowner maximize the time value of money!
Working with a Certified ExpressOffers agent like myself you will be afforded the opportunity to potentially receive a cash offer for your home in AS-IS condition. Here are the 6 most important reasons why you should start your sales process with ExpressOffers
Efficiency
Traveling down the road of trying to appease the emotions of the retail home buying market can be a pricey journey. Why not deal with a professional buyer who will make an offer based on the as-is condition that won’t be based on emotions or knit picking unimportant details.
2. Establish a Baseline
Your offers are going to be based on the as-is condition. This is a great way to establish a baseline value. As a homeowner, you can use that value to assess what things you can do to potentially maximize the value of the home in an effort to net you more money.
3. Maximize the time value of money
The process to receive an offer is quick & costs NO money. Getting an offer will allow you a chance to compare the savings in expenses selling your home in 30 days vs 45-60. Often what gets left out is the holding expenses which can include additional mortgage, insurance, and utility payments. With a dynamic commission structure, homeowners are only asked to pay 1 commission sometimes saving thousands of dollars.
4. Ease of Process
You don’t need to move their schedules around showings to get the offer. Submissions usually take about 40 mins including doing the property condition report. Our agents will schedule a time around your convenience to come out and view the home or will collect the information & walk you through how to take the photos yourself. Whichever is most convenient for you.
5. Maximize the Potential of the Platform
The vast majority of the buyers on our platform prefer exclusively off-market properties meaning before the property has been showcased on the Multiple Listing Service. Using ExpressOffers first will give you the best chance to receive multiple offers. Where you would see the different opinions of value hopefully better positioning you to make informed decisions about areas of the home you may consider enhancing.
6. Maximize the power of the MLS
If you decide the ExpressOffer is not for you, you will now have the opportunity to better position your home after gaining feedback from the ExpressOffers agent on how to maximize value. All of these things can be done before the home goes on the MLS allowing your home to stand out within the first days of being marketed. It has been shown that the most important days are the first 7 when listing on the MLS. Being precise about the enhancements also helps to ensure you will not waste money on renovations that won’t translate to a higher sales price. By doing ExpressOffers before it’s listed you don’t waste precious days on the market waiting for as-is offers while your house spends its most important days on the market not at its best.
