It seems unbelievable that I sold my home in Colorado Springs in less than a week.
Especially since the property was in desperate need of a new roof, water heater, gutters, windows and HVAC system.
I simply filled out an online form with basic information pertaining to the property. I submitted the contact form to a local cash buyer who purchases homes in the area in as-is condition. The company reached out within a few hours to arrange a walkthrough of the home. We scheduled for the following morning and a representative of the cash home buyer showed up right on time. They were very friendly, knowledgeable and forthcoming. I was able to ask questions and get straightforward answers. Once the tour of the property was completed, I immediately received a cash offer. There was no obligation. I was given time to consider the offer. Once I accepted, we scheduled a time to close the cash sale. We were able to set up the closing for forty-eight hours later. The cash home buyer managed all of the complex paperwork. There was very little to do. I didn’t need to clean the house, make repairs or deal with a home inspection. I didn’t pay closing fees or a realtor commission. I received the full amount at the closing. Rather than invest time, money and effort into a house that I was desperate to sell, I was able to walk away from it free and clear. I have been told that I could have gotten a higher price if I had sold by way of a conventional listing. That might be true, but it would have required significant expense. I’d have needed to deduct the cost of the various repairs, updates, inspections, fees and commissions. I think I made out quite well.
