There are a number of corporations getting into the business of buying homes. However, the majority of these corporations are just trying to make a quick buck off someone who is desperate to sell their home. Working with a local and professional home buyer will give you the same fast results, but with a much more personalized experience. Read the benefits on why you should sell to an investor in Calgary over an iBuyer below!
Personal Approach
Most people would rather work with a friend and neighbor over a large corporation. To a corporation, you are just a number. Whereas when you work with a professional home buyer such as MyHomeOptions Ltd., you will be able to work with someone you can trust. We will listen to your selling goals, time frame, and help you with anything you need to make the selling process go as smoothly as possible. We will take your situation into consideration, helping you in any way that we can.
Better Prices
Many iBuyers out there are buying nationwide. They are looking for the best deals and if it isn’t what they want, they will just move on to the next person. When you work with a local investor, such as MyHomeOptions Ltd., you’ll be able to work with someone who really knows the local market. They will be able to pay you a more accurate price and be able to save you money by keeping things close to home. You won’t have to worry about getting a blanket offer on our property sight unseen. A local and professional buyer will also have numerous local vendors in their contact list, making the process even more efficient and low-cost. If they know a great title company, contractor, or cleaning service, you’ll be able to benefit from the association.
Fees
iBuyers charge a fee for their services whereas working with a local investment company such as MyHomeOptions Ltd. does not. When you work with an iBuyer, expect to pay a fee of anywhere from 7.5-11.5%! This can be a substantial deduction from the offer price which was likely low, to begin with.
Reputation
A local home buyer with the right motives cares greatly about their community and the people in it. At MyHomeOptions Ltd., it is our goal to help people out of difficult situations and with difficult properties. We will take the time to listen to your selling goals and help you determine if they are realistic or not. As a small business, our reputation is critical. At the end of the day, we want to be able to put a smile on someone’s face because we were able to get them out of a difficult situation with a difficult property. We have a reputation to uphold, and we will go out of our way to make sure home sellers in Calgary have a positive experience.
Repairs
When calculating the cost of the needed repairs, iBuyers are known to nickel and dime their clients. Small and petty repairs are often factored into the iBuyer’s offer, reducing the price further and further. When you choose to sell your house directly to MyHomeOptions Ltd., we will adjust our offer price based only on major repairs. Small and unnecessary repairs won’t even be considered when we are putting our offer together.
iBuyers are getting a lot of attention but based on many studies and experiences we have heard, the process isn’t as beneficial as it may seem.
