You have options when it comes to selling your house. You can sell use a traditional real estate agent to sell to a buyer, you can go the “for sale by owner” route and sell directly to a traditional buyer, or you can sell your house to a real estate investor.
There are advantages and disadvantages to each. But if you’re thinking of selling to an investor, here’s the one key disadvantage you should know.
When you sell through a licensed agent, that agent has had to pass an exam and get certified in order to become licensed. And he or she typically has to pay a brokerage and/or a licensing board, as well as take continuing education classes, to maintain that license.
On the other hand, anyone can become an investor without any formal training or certifications. Someone can simply say “I’m an investor” and voila – they’re an investor, without any training or education. This can be a huge disadvantage to house sellers like you who might need help because you end up working with someone who has no experience.
Fortunately, there ARE investors in the Fox Valley area who do have the skills, knowledge, and experience to help you, regardless of your situation and no matter how complicated it is.
Here’s How To Find A Great Real Estate Investment Company
Start by looking for the investor’s website. Do they have one? What information is on there? Are you talking to an individual investor or is there a full staff at the ready to work with you? Is the website helpful? Does it give you valuable information? Do you find testimonials, reviews or case studies that illustrate their experience?
Then, call their office and ask questions. Is the person with whom you’re speaking respectful of your time? Does he sound like he knows what he’s talking about? Ask about the process and how the company works with you. You should be able to get a no-obligation offer.
You can learn a lot about an investor with these two steps alone. To take it even further, check out google reviews & Facebook reviews.
