⚠️ SELLERS BEWARE ⚠️
Before you sign anything with a wholesaler, please call a local real estate agent and understand all of your options.
This property is a perfect example of why.
The seller originally entered into an agreement with a wholesaler promising cash for their home. The wholesaler then paid an out-of-state broker to put the property on the MLS so that local real estate agents could ultimately bring the buyer and get the property sold.
And in the process?
Over $30,000 that could have potentially stayed with the seller went to the wholesaler.
That’s a lot of equity.
And I get it — sometimes people fall on hard times. Sometimes a home needs repairs. Sometimes there’s deferred maintenance, clutter, damage, or simply no extra money to get a property “market ready.”
But that does not mean your only option is to give away a huge chunk of your equity.
There are often other options that a local real estate agent can walk you through, and your home does not have to be picture perfect before you call us. We help before the sale too — talking through repairs, clean-out options, selling as-is, pricing strategy, investor buyers, timelines, and what makes the most financial sense for your situation.
A good local agent should help you understand all of your choices before you sign anything.
Wholesaling isn’t automatically wrong, and every situation is different — but sellers deserve to know who is making money from their property, what their home may actually be worth on the open market, and what alternatives they have.
🏡 If someone contacts you wanting to buy your house, assign your contract, or promises a quick and easy sale, call a trusted LOCAL real estate agent first. A conversation costs you nothing. A second opinion could be worth thousands.
Thinking about selling, even if your home isn’t “ready”? Call us first. We’re here to help before, during, and through the sale. 🔑
