Maximizing Profit vs. Ultimate Convenience: Your Home Selling Options

By Nick Philips

I take a simple and straight forward approach to helping everyday Nevadans buy and sell homes. Whether its your first transaction or your preparing for a 1031 exchange into a fourth investment property. Whatever it is I’ll help you navigate the hurdles. I’m dedicated to listening to the needs of my clients and executing a plan of action that works best for their goals. I specialize in real estate consultation for both sellers and buyers in Northern Nevada. As a Native Nevadan I inherently understand what makes the community thrive.

Are you contemplating the best way to sell your home? In today’s real estate landscape, you have two primary options: listing your house with a real estate agent on the MLS or selling it directly to a cash buyer. Both approaches have their advantages and drawbacks, and I’m here to help you make an informed decision.

One of the most significant benefits of listing your home with a seasoned real estate agent, like myself, is that it can result in the highest possible sale price. With an agent’s expertise, you’re more likely to find the top-paying buyer in the market.

However, there are downsides to consider. The process may be less predictable, as it could take time to find the right buyer. You’ll need to prepare your home for showings, and the inconvenience of multiple showings can become tiresome.

On the other hand, selling your home directly to a cash buyer offers unparalleled convenience. Cash buyers are typically investors who allow you to choose your closing date and won’t demand extensive repairs or removal of items from your property.

The downside here is the price. Cash buyers usually don’t offer full market value for your home. For instance, a house worth $350,000 to $360,000 might receive an offer of around $260,000 to $270,000 after repairs.

Whether you prioritize getting the highest possible price or seek the utmost convenience, I can assist you in both scenarios. If you have any questions or need guidance on your real estate journey, please feel free to call or send an email.

At the bottom of every one of our emails, you’ll find two buttons—one for a market analysis if you choose to list your home and the other for obtaining an offer from a cash buyer. Your real estate needs are our top priority.

Don’t hesitate to reach out to us by phone or email to explore these options further and make an informed decision for your unique situation. We’re here to assist you every step of the way.
