As the world of real estate continues to evolve, more and more sellers are seeking out alternative solutions for selling their homes. One of these solutions is working with iBuyers, who utilize technology to make quick, all-cash offers on properties without requiring sellers to invest in preparing their homes for sale, dealing with showings, or making repairs. While this may seem like an appealing option at first, there are several things you need to know about iBuyers in Cherokee County before deciding whether or not to work with them.
Local Expertise is Key
The first thing you need to know is that iBuyers are not local. They do not have a vested interest in the local community or its people the way local hybrid agents do. Working with a local hybrid agent such as Townsend Realty Group | Keller Williams Realty Partners provides many advantages that iBuyers simply cannot offer. Hybrid agents like those at Townsend Realty Group | Keller Williams Realty Partners are your neighbors here in Cherokee County, and they have a deep understanding of the local real estate market. They can provide you with the expert guidance you need to make informed decisions about selling your home.
Options are Essential
iBuyers offer only one option to sellers: a quick, all-cash offer. At Townsend Realty Group | Keller Williams Realty Partners, we believe that sellers should have options. Our hybrid agents offer three different ways to sell your home. First, as acting real estate agents, they can list your property and use their professional marketing efforts to bring buyers to your door. They can also help make your home shine in its best light through staging and other methods. Second, as hybrid agents acting as investors, they can offer a fast, guaranteed closing for your home in as-is condition. And third, as hybrid agents acting as investors, they can provide you with all the information you need to decide on the best way to sell your home, whether it’s by listing it on the market or selling it directly to them.
Transparency Matters
At Townsend Realty Group | Keller Williams Realty Partners, we believe in total transparency. We want our clients to feel good about working with us long after they’ve left the closing table.
