FREE Guide: Learn The Pros and Cons Of Selling to a Professional Home Buyer in the Bay Area
And What 4 Hidden Costs Creep Up When Listing With An Agent Or Selling It Yourself
PLUS: What big pitfalls to watch out for when you’re selling your house with a real estate agent, by yourself, and even to a professional home buyer like Bay Area Home Buyers Network
Missing one of these critical “pitfalls” could mean more stress and expense for you when your house finally sells.
There are 3 main ways to sell your California house. All with their own pros and cons.
- List it with an agent
- Sell it yourself (FSBO)
- Sell it to a professional home buyer in California
Selling to a professional home buyer is not right for everyone, and this guide is honest about that. For a deeper comparison, read our post on listing with an agent versus selling directly, check any buyer’s license on the California DRE site, and see how to vet a cash home buyer before you sign anything.
The 3 Main Ways to Sell Your Bay Area House
- List with a real estate agent for the widest exposure, usually with repairs, staging, showings, and commissions.
- Sell it yourself to save the listing commission, while handling marketing, showings, negotiation, and disclosures on your own.
- Sell to a professional home buyer for speed and certainty, with no repairs or showings, usually at a price that reflects the work the buyer takes on.
Each path makes sense for different people. The guide walks through the hidden costs of each one, so you can compare what you would actually walk away with rather than just the headline price.
Who Should Read This Guide
It is especially helpful if you have inherited a home, own a property that needs significant work, are relocating on a deadline, or are a longtime homeowner who wants a simpler move. If you would like to talk it through after reading, call us at (408) 413-3087. We will give you an honest comparison of your options, even if that means recommending a traditional listing. Bay Area sellers deserve clear numbers and a fair process, whichever path they choose.
A good professional home buyer should be comfortable with that kind of transparency. Ask how the offer was calculated, what costs you will and will not pay, and whether the price can change after an inspection. If the answers are clear and in writing, selling to a professional can be a simple, low-stress way to move on, especially when time, condition, or distance make a traditional sale difficult.
All three options are great in certain situations… and terrible in others.
Learn when to list with an agent, when to sell yourself, and when selling to a real estate investor makes the most sense.
And, learn the costs associated with each option… because you’ll be surprised at what “hidden costs” there are in listing with an agent or selling it yourself that most people never even think about until it’s too late.
