one of our great videos. If you're considering selling your house
[24]
to a corporation or an iBuyer like Zillow Offers, Orchard, OpenDoor, or
[30]
RedFin there are definitely things that you
[32]
want to take into consideration some pros and cons to weigh out.
[35]
And, ultimately it all depends on your goal, do you need a quick close is it a
[40]
timing issue or do you need to make more money so you
[43]
can put down on your next house or whatever you'd like to do with that
[46]
money. So here's what it typically looks like
[48]
to sell to an iBuyer, be that Zillow, OpenDoor, RedFin, Orchard,
[53]
or Knock, or one of the others that may be out there. The fees can range anywhere
[57]
from 6% to 12%, plus the cost of
[60]
repairs. The home value that they initially offer
[64]
you is typically an automated valuation, it is not an
[67]
actual market analysis and they are typically limited on what they'll buy.
[72]
Some will only buy newer homes, some will only buy
[76]
say under 300,000, some will only buy homes that were built between say 1978
[81]
2014, they all have their own qualifications.
[86]
And, typically with, say Knock, if they can't sell your home
[91]
and you don't agree to their price, you may have to move back into your home
[95]
and then, you know, you have no one negotiating on your behalf on, in, any of
[99]
these situations. The only pro that we could come up with
[102]
was maybe that you could get a quick close,
[105]
which typically you can also get a quick close if you
[109]
are lined up, if you have a partner and an agent that has
[113]
other investors that can buy and can also offer a quick close and that way
[118]
you have someone that's representing you. --I'd like to tell you a story about a
[122]
couple that we just helped. See, this couple went to a builder and
[127]
they found this house that was almost completely built and they really loved
[131]
it, so they went ahead and put the money down to go ahead and start
[134]
purchasing the home. However, the builder was like
[137]
they did not want to really accept their offer
[141]
on the house unless their house was already under contract.
[144]
So, they were looking at their options and so they decided to reach out to
[149]
one of these iBuyers or institutional buyers to see
[153]
how the process worked. So, they met with them but they just
[157]
weren't really feeling a warm fuzzy, they just felt like something was off.
[161]
So, they reached out to us and I was able to come in, to be able to explain
[165]
the pros and the cons about the iBuyer situation
[169]
versus going to open market. And, when I was able to show them the numbers in
[173]
between the iBuyer offer and versus our offer of putting it on
[178]
the open market in the traditional manner, we're able to eventually get them
[182]
over $65,000 more than what the iBuyer was
[187]
even offering on the deal and to top it off
[190]
they're able to sell it in one day. If you'd like to find out
[194]
what is the best option for you, whether it is
[196]
going to iBuyer route or selling the traditional route,
[200]
I have a spreadsheet where I can be able to breakdown all the fees and also look at
[204]
what your bottom dollar is selling either way. So, that way you can be able
[208]
to make the best decision for you and your family and feel very
[211]
comfortable with whatever decision you decide to make.
