#1 Sell your home fast for cash to a local Investor
If you are determined to find a quick buyer, you want a home buying company local to Rochester, a home buying company such as us here at Flower City House Buyers are one option for you. We buy houses in Rochester and surrounding areas in NY when sellers need to sell fast. We meet you at your house. We listen to your needs and answer your questions. If you’re looking to get the full market retail value on your home… and you have time to wait for it to sell and maybe the cash to get your home market ready, look at option number two. But if you need to sell your house fast and are willing to sell it less than the full retail value, but also save those big agent commissions you’d have to pay… we’d like to make you a fast-fair offer on your house today... or call us directly at (585) 678-5050.
#2 Sell your home fast for cash with a Real Estate Agent
If you have a bit more time and can wait for the right retail buyer to come along, you have the money to make the necessary repairs to get the house ready, and you can pay the 6% in real estate agent commissions on the sale… listing your local Rochester NY house with a real estate agent is a great option.
You can still sell your house for cash when listing it. We do sometimes buy listed properties for cash. But then you’d have to pay the agent commission. Why not sell directly to us or to a local cash buying company and save those commissions for yourself?
So, selling with an agent means finding the right agent. Start by asking at least five local Rochester agents to assess your home and show you some comparable homes that they have recently sold for cash. The agent you settle for should list your home in as many property websites as possible in order to broaden the market reach and of course put it on the local Rochester area MLS (multiple listing service).
It is also important that they market your home to the right type of buyers, whether cash or traditional buyers. To help speed up the process, consider offering the agent an attractive bonus if they manage to sell the house within a specified time frame. With this option you will of course pay the real estate agent commissions… so be prepared to figure that into your overall costs.
