If you have a home for sale or are considering selling, you should know there is another viable option to a traditional listing. Depending on your situation, this option could end up putting a lot more money in your pocket. The fact is, selling a home is never an easy task. Nitpicky buyers, open houses, multiple showings, offers, counter offers, long lists of repair requests (both before the inspections and more after the inspections), not to mention the cost and time involved in selling your home. The average listing commission today is 6%, and every buyer expects you to pay their closing costs. It is your home after all, but if you want to consummate the sale, you are likely going to concede some portion of the buyer’s closing costs. That’s typically an additional 3%. Price reductions, selling fees, commissions, and paying the buyer’s closing costs usually means taking a deep discount.
On top of that, thanks to the ‘mortgage meltdown’ and subsequent government regulations, getting a mortgage today can be very difficult. Statistically, almost 80% of our population cannot walk into a bank today and qualify for a loan. And not everyone can plunk down 20% cash to buy. Well-qualified buyers are turned down for their end financing all the time, and seemingly iron-clad offers fall through last minute over and over due to financing more than any reason. Seasoning requirements are often measured in years not months. Needless to say, selling a home in today’s market can be quite challenging.
