HOME BUYERS IN HURST, TXWHERE IT's ALWAYS BUYING SEASON
|
Have you decided to sell your home in Hurst? Or you’re at least giving it serious consideration?
Here’s a little secret you should know. Whether you're in the Hurst area or anywhere else in North Texas, listen up... There’s more than one way to sell your home! Doing it through a realtor may not be your best option, even though most people have been conditioned to believe they have no other choice. It really depends on your situation. |
|
In the perfect storm, you might be able to sell your home this way in a little more than a month. That's actually super fast by realty standards, even in North Texas. But it's also very unlikely. Here's why it usually takes much longer to sell your home through the realty process.

PREPARATIONIf you're putting your home on the market for everyone in Hurst to see, you want it to look as desirable as possible compared to the other options in the same price range. In order to achieve this, you need to make reasonable repairs and updates, which could include things such as painting and planting grass. This usually takes a few weeks - maybe a month or more.
|
THE RIGHT OFFERAlthough there were some places around Hurst where any nice home immediately got a full-asking-price offer during the pandemic, that's not normal. Most of the time, it's a process of lowball offers and maybe a counteroffer or two, and after weeks or months of waiting and bargaining, you eventually get what you want... or choose to accept less.

SEALING THE DEALWhen a home buyer and seller agree on a price, that only ends a chapter of the house-selling saga. The next chapter involves the inspection and appraisal, either of which could improve the home buyer's leverage or kill the deal altogether. A little misfortune, and it's back to square one. Even if you survive this phase, you'll often need to allow for time to make additional repairs to the home before you can close the sale.

How do I sell my house fast?To sell your Hurst house fast, you need to find a cash buyer, also known as an investor. This is a professional home buyer, who purchases properties in order to make a profit by either renting or selling them to someone else. This usually involves restoring or updating the home before it's rented or resold, which is what you see in a house-flipping show on TV. Here's what makes these transactions so fast.
We are Hurst Home Buyers (one of these cash investors), and you could have an offer on your North Texas home within two days of making first contact with us. If you accept the offer, the deal can be closed just about as quickly as you're able to get your things out of the house. The entire process could take fewer than 10 days from start to finish. But if you need more time to move, Hurst Home Buyers is happy to give it to you. If you're in a hurry, that's fine, but don't think you need to rush things on our account. |
What's the catch if I sell my house to a cash buyer?"The catch" is that your sale price won't be nearly as high as it would be if you sell your home through the traditional means. The emphasis is on "sale price" because there's a big difference between sale price (revenue) and profit (revenue minus expenses). We'll get into this in more detail later, but the key takeaway for now is that around Hurst, there's not always a significant difference in profit between going through the realty channels and selling to a cash buyer.
Usually, the financials are slightly better through the traditional method, but that still needs to be weighed against the value of saving time and hassle through the cash buyer option. There are many cases in which people are surprised that the realty route isn't as clear of an advantage as they expect it to be. And there are also cases where it's not an advantage at all. |
