Compare Selling With 3 Step Home Buyers Vs. The Traditional Baltimore House Buyer Or Agent
Even in a seller’s market like Maryland, it’s smart to look at your options and see what will actually help you best reach your goals with the sale of your house. As both real estate investors and licensed, reputable agents, we are able to provide you with a wide range of options to help you achieve your objectives when selling your Baltimore house.
| Selling With An Agent | SOLD To 3 Step Home Buyers | |
|---|---|---|
| Commissions / Fees | 6% on average is paid by you, the seller | Standard commissions if we list your home; NO fees/commissions if you sell directly to us for cash |
| Who Pays Closing Costs? | 2% on average is paid by you, the seller | You pay standard closing costs if you list your home; you pay NO closing costs if you sell directly to us for cash |
| Inspection & Financing Contingency* | Yes, sales can fall through | Much lower risk of the final sale falling through |
| Appraisal Needed | Yes, the sale is often subject to appraisal | Subject to appraisal if listing on the market, but we make cash offers, too! |
| Average Days Until Sold | +/-91 Days | Standard time on the market or IMMEDIATE CASH OFFER |
| Number of Showings | Varies | 1 (Just Us) if you sell to us for cash |
| Closing Date | 30 to 60+/- days after accepting the buyer’s offer | The date of YOUR CHOICE |
| Who Pays For Repairs? | Negotiated during the inspection period | We pay for all repairs if selling to us for cash |
*An inspection contingency allows the buyer to conduct a thorough inspection of the property and potentially renegotiate the terms or back out of the sale if significant repairs are needed. A financing contingency provides the buyer with an opportunity to back out of the purchase if they are unable to secure a loan or if the home doesn’t appraise for the necessary value. Here at 3 Step Home Buyers, we don’t use bank financing, so you don’t have to worry about our ability to close on a deal.
Work The Numbers And See Which Way Helps You Get There…
We will work with you to determine which approach is best for your goals. We can either make you an immediate cash offer, or we can put our experience and expertise to work and list your house on the market for top dollar. If selling to us for cash, we won’t be able to offer you full retail value for your house, but we also offer other benefits that the traditional house sale route can’t offer. Like…
From offer to close and cash in your hand in as little as 7 days.
You can get rid of the headache of that property fast and avoid paying any more utility payments, tax payments, insurance payments, or mortgage payments. If you list your house and wait 90+ days to close, you have to figure in all of the costs of holding that property during the time you have it listed and are waiting to close.
Don’t worry about fixing anything or cleaning your house again and again for buyer after buyer.
We don’t care how dirty your house is (we’ve seen worse!) or how many repairs are needed (a complete fixer? Great! We love projects). We want to make an offer on your house no matter what the condition.
Don’t worry about paying those pesky closing fees (we’ve got you covered).
Because we are a full-service professional home buyer in Maryland, we pay for all of the closing costs! What we offer you is what you get (of course minus any mortgage payoff or other encumbrances on the property).
