Selling To “We Buy Houses In Connecticut” VS. Listing It With An Agent.
What if you have a house you need to sell fast and can’t afford to have it sit on the market for months, even years? What if the house is in bad shape, and can’t afford to spend money, time or energy to fix it, not knowing if it will even sell after you fix it up? What if you are forced to update the house in order to compete with other houses being sold in your market. All this without a guarantee, that your house will even sell at all!
Although agents have a place in today’s market, more homeowners choose to sell their house in CT to us at “We Buy Houses In Connecticut” for exactly these reasons. Selling a house with an agent can be daunting. Often agents will ask you to clean and fix the house in order to compete with other similar houses currently on the market. This means you need to make repairs and update the house even if no repairs are needed. This includes investing money in landscaping and curb appeal.
Even when you find a buyer, (or wait till a buyer finds you) you have to hope their finances are in order and are approved by their lender to purchase your house. All this takes time, and during that time you have to maintain landscaping, pay taxes, mortgage insurance and utilities. The longer your house sits on the market the less money you will pocket due to all these accumulating monthly bills!

*An inspection contingency let’s the buyer have time to do an inspection and back out of the sale or negotiate a new price if there are repairs that need to be done. If you can’t come to an agreement with the buyer, the buyer has the right to back out of the sale. Similar, a financing contingency gives the buyer the wiggle room to back out of the purchase if the home doesn’t appraise for the value that the bank needs to close the loan. Anyone that says “NO” is dishonest and be careful doing business with them. Inspect the contract and ask them directly. We do not have a financing contingency as we are cash buyers HOWEVER, we do have an inspection period to make sure the house is as presented. No one should buy a house without an inspection!
Here at We Buy Houses In Connecticut we don’t use bank financing so you don’t have to worry about our ability to close on a deal.
