Q: How is Buying Homes Happy different from a Real Estate Agent?
A: Real Estate agents list properties and hope that someone will buy them. The agent shows the properties to prospective buyers if there are any (the average time to sell a property in many markets right now is around 3-6 months) and then take a percentage of the sale price if they find a buyer. Oftentimes, the agentβs commission is 3-6% of the sale price of your house (so if itβs a $100,000 house, youβll pay between $3,000 β $6,000 in commissions to an agent). Real Estate agents provide a great service for those that can wait for months to sell and who donβt mind giving up some of that sale price to pay for the commissions. But thatβs where weβre different: Weβre not agents, weβre Home BUYERS. We actually buy houses. We donβt list houses. Since weβre actually the ones buying the house from you, and we pay with all $$$. We can make a decision to buy your house within a couple days (sometimes the same day).
