Selling House Online for Cash
Seller beware, convenience comes at a cost. We write regular reports on homeowner online selling options. While it can be an understandable choice for a seller in the unusual circumstances, typically these large corporate companies offering to purchase your home online will only do so at a significant market discount. Beware, often their initial online offer is much higher than the price they will actually give at the end of the day (can be reduced at their whim prior to closing). It is important to keep in mind that Realtors are state licensed and have a legal obligation to put the homeowner's interest first, while these corporations do not. Instead these online corporations have an obligation to put their shareholders interest first and generate as much profit as possible.
