1. Request a cash offer<\/h2>\n
Let\u2019s say you prep your house<\/a> to perfection, attract an offer in only a few days, and enter the closing phase of the sale. It\u2019s a dream seller scenario, but even so, you\u2019ll likely still be weeks or even months out from closing<\/a>.<\/p>\n When you list a home, it\u2019s hard to predict whether you\u2019ll receive an offer from a cash buyer or a financed buyer prequalified for a home loan<\/a>. But you\u2019re more likely to see the latter, considering 74% of recent buyers<\/a> financed their home purchase.<\/p>\n With a financed buyer, steps like the inspection<\/a> and lender-ordered appraisal<\/a> add time. Your buyer\u2019s loan will also need to be processed, which takes 42 days on average<\/a> in today\u2019s market.<\/p>\n Despite the best-laid plans, selling your home the traditional way isn\u2019t always fast enough. Thankfully, you\u2019re not stuck. As an alternative, you can go out and request a cash offer from a real estate investor<\/a> or house-buying company<\/a> to speed things along. This move, while convenient and straightforward, is typically the fastest way to sell a house in USA.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/section> Due to the lack of lender involvement, a cash buyer is able to operate more nimbly and on a shorter timeline, providing convenience and certainty to sellers.<\/p>\n You\u2019ll have to weigh the advantages against the possibility of a reduced offer <\/a>since investors aren\u2019t likely to raise their bid out of emotion and will intend to make a profit by flipping<\/a> or renting out the home.<\/p>\n However, when you eliminate home prep costs<\/a> \u2014 such as fixing a rotted deck or installing a new front door \u2014 and account for agent fees of 3% to 6%<\/a>, you may end up with a similar amount of money from a cash buyer<\/a> as you would with a traditional listing.<\/p>\n When you request a cash offer from HomeLight\u2019s Simple Sale<\/a> platform, you\u2019ll never have to go through the listing process.<\/p>\n Just answer a short questionnaire<\/a> to get started.

That was it. Easy as one, two, three.<\/p>\n \u201cThe closing from start to finish was three and a half weeks, which is great for me. It exceeded my expectations.\u201d<\/p>\nBenefits of selling to an investor or house-buying company<\/h3>\n
