|
|
|---|---|
| We come to see the house and provide the highest and best offer | Try to give a high offer sight-unseen at first, then renegotiate the price down later on using contingencies. |
| We are the end buyers | Usually wholesalers, or middle-men that “assign” your contract to a 3rd party for a fee. If no 3rd party wants to buy the contract, they will cancel the contract. |
| No inspections or feasibility periods* | Will use inspections or feasibility periods to schedule a “showing” for 3rd parties. Usually called “partners” or “contractors”. |
| We deposit Earnest Money within 2 days of signing our contract with you. Many times we have even RELEASED the Earnest Money early for Sellers to the user prior to closing | Usually don’t deposit Earnest Money until AFTER the Inspection or feasibility period. |
| Our Earnest Money deposit is usually at least $10,000.00. We want to show our commitment to the purchase right away | Very often LESS than $1000. |
| We use a standard NWMLS contract, which is used in the majority of Real Estate transactions throughout our area and has been reviewed by Attorneys. | Uses custom contracts drafted by their own Lawyers, which may favor the buyer in many instances, and have hidden “outs” that rid of responsibilities for the buyer in case the sale falls through. |
*In some cases, if major structural issues are present, we may request an expert to come to examine the issue for a second opinion. We do this in order to be able to offer you a higher price in case the issue is not as serious as it seems. We may also ask to inspect a septic system if it hasn’t been maintained or active in a long period of time.

| Close as little as 5 days | Close in approximately 1 – 2 months AFTER you find a buyer |
| No formal inspections or appraisals | Third-party inspections and appraisals could affect sale price negatively and trigger rounds of negotiations. Causing sale to fall through |
| No commissions | Generally, 6% will deduct from the sale price for commissions |
| Personal service – We can help with situations and work with your timeline | No flexibility. Your property has to meet a bank’s guidelines and Buyer’s timeline. |
