Should You Sell With A Real Estate Agent? | 6 Day Cash Buyers

Written by Posted On Tuesday, 01 September 2020 11:01

So it’s time to sell your house, which means you have to get a real estate agent and get your house up on the MLS asap, right? Well, not necessarily. Here are 5 things to consider before hiring a Cincinnati real estate agent.

 First things first - no matter what direction you go when selling your house, you’re going to be spending lots of money before you even get your house up on the market. 

 There are repairs and professional cleaning, staging and photography for marketing, inspection for problems you may have overlooked (OH MY WHAT A LOT!)

 AND you still have to pay your holding costs for as long as you own the house. All that will add up quickly.

 Speaking of holding costs, traditional sales often take much longer to be completed than a direct sale. 

 Again, this means you will continue having to spend money (your precious hard-earned money) on the mortgage, utilities, and insurance instead of jumping at the chance of a dream property - all because you’re tied to a listing agreement that is not only taking your money but also your time. 

 (And we aren’t getting any more of that, I PROMISE!)

 Now let be clear, we’re not saying that all real estate agents are just after your money. That would be HIGHLY offensive (and maybe true?!? ;)) 

 But we’re not saying that…

 Many of them will genuinely try and get you the best possible deal with the right buyers for your house. But there is a commission check for these realtors and you sign a contract with them that will expire before long. 

 This means that an agent could make you pay for expensive upgrades or potentially take less money than your house is worth just to get it sold before their contract expires. 

 No, not all Cincinnati real estates are untrustworthy, but just make sure you hire one who is highly referred and someone you’re CERTAIN you can trust. 

 Make them buy you a drink first before you let them into your home. Maybe they can WOOOO you a little first!

 So, where are we at so far? 

 When working with a Cincinnati real estate agent, you’re going to spend money on a number of things for your house at the realtor’s recommendation and then you also have to pay them. 

 And after all that, your house still may not sell. 

 I know. But it’s not all bad.

 You just have to know what you’re getting yourself into. Be mentally and emotionally prepared - oh and financially too!

 Now you know the risks of working with a real estate agent and whether or not it could be worth it. 

 But we want you to know there is another option that is less risky and most likely less money spent as well. 

 It isn’t always worth putting so much money into your house just to get it sold. Working with a direct buyer like 6 Day Cash Buyers, you can get your house sold in just a few days without any fees deducted and any unnecessary extra costs. 

 Everything is transparent, out in the open, and you’ll know exactly when the closing will take place. 

That’s it! There isn’t much else to say because it’s in our name - We’re 6 Day Cash Buyers. So, if you need to sell your house in Cincinnati, you are now aware of the options and the time and money that go along with them. 

 Go ahead and run the numbers for your property so you can choose the option that makes the most sense.
