When I told my friends as well as relatives that I was planning to sell my Jacksonville condo for money, they all thought I was making a mistake. They warned me that I would receive a very low offer. They felt that I would get less than market value. While it’s true that it is often possible to secure a higher offer via a conventional sale, there are several hidden fees. There is also the realtor’s commission as well as the potential for very fancy repairs. I took into consideration the time-savings, lack of closing costs as well as simplicity of the process. These benefits convinced me that a money condo sale was the right decision. Had I worked with a real estate agent, a portion of the proceeds would have gone in their pocket. In FL, this commission can be anywhere from six to ten percent. This greatly reduces the net amount received from the sale of the property. Selling directly to a money customer eliminated the middleman. I benefited from the total amount. In less than ten afternoons, the money was in my bank account, allowing me to make a sound financial plan. The money customer covered all of the closing costs as well as additional fees that tend to arise with selling a home. Adding up all of these fees, commissions as well as costs, I felt that I made out very well. Plus, I avoided an appraisal as well as inspection. These processes are not without expense. I would have needed to take off from labor to meet the inspectors as well as walk them around. Had the inspection turned up any complications, I would have been responsible for the repairs. That’s more time as well as money devoted to a house I was sad to unload. I also had no worry over funds being delayed because of bank approval, loan processing as well as other financial hurdles.
