One of the many reasons I chose to contact a cash home buyer was to avoid negotiations. When a property is listed with a realtor, there are all sorts of requirements and contingencies. There are home inspections and always things that need to be fixed or updated. Once the bank is involved, there are demands that must be met before the loan can get approved. All of this provides an ideal opening for the buyer to haggle over the price. Understandable, they want to pay as little as possible for the home. The process can drag on for weeks or even months. It’s stressful and frustrating. I don’t want to be told that I need to replace a roof that is in perfect working order. I don’t want to update the railing around my porch because the spindles are too far apart for today’s safety codes. Who wants to sink a bunch of money into a house they are moving out of? I was unwilling to deal with that kind of stress. My life is too hectic to schedule a bunch of meetings with realtors and potential buyers. I don’t have the time to contact HVAC, plumbing, roofing, electrical or any type of Jacksonville professionals and arrange services. For the sake of my peace of mind, I decided to eliminate negotiations and go with a cash offer on my home. I found a local Jacksonville cash home buyer who provided an offer the very same day I submitted the contact form. I accepted right away. There was no worry over the cash buyer changing their minds, making a counter-offer or failing to secure a mortgage. The company had the resources to cover the full price of the house. The closing was quick and simple and handled in less than two weeks. I didn’t need to worry about inspections, appraisals, realtor fees or closing costs.
