Selling Directly To Leger Home Buyers vs. Listing With A Local Agent
Even in a seller’s market, it’s smart to look at your options to see how you can best reach your goals with the sale of your Calgary house. While you may be able to get a higher sales price listing with a local agent, that doesn’t always boil down to more money in your pocket or less headache. Dive into the details below to compare your selling options.
| Selling with a Calgary Agent | Sold To Leger Home Buyers | |
|---|---|---|
| Commissions / Fees | 6% on average is paid by you, the seller | None |
| Who Pays Closing Costs? | 2% on average is paid by you, the seller | We pay all costs |
| Inspection & Financing Contingency* | Yes, sales can fall through | None needed |
| Appraisal Needed | Yes, the sale is often subject to appraisal | No, we make cash offers |
| Average Days Until Sold | +/- 91 days | We provide immediate cash offers |
| Number of Showings | It depends | 1 (just us) |
| Closing Date | 30-60 +/- days after accepting buyers offer | The date of YOUR CHOICE |
| Who Pays For Repairs? | Negotiated during the inspection period | We pay for all repairs |
Work the numbers and see which way helps you get there…
When you really work the numbers you start to see the real benefits that each way of selling your Alberta house offers.
Yes, here at Leger Home Nuyers we won’t be able to offer you full retail value for your house, but we offer other benefits that the traditional house sale route can’t offer.
From offer to close and cash in your hand in as little as 7 days
You can get rid of the headache of that property fast and avoid paying one more utility payment, tax payment, insurance payment, mortgage payment… you get the drill. If you list your house and wait 90+ days to close, you have to figure in all of the costs of holding that property during the time you have it listed and are waiting for the property to close.
Don’t worry about fixing anything up or cleaning your house again and again for buyer after buyer
We don’t care how dirty your house is (we’ve seen worse!) or how many repairs are needed (a complete fixer? great! we love projects). We want to make an offer on your house today. Let us save you time and put more money in your pocket.
No pesky closing fees. We’ve got you covered!
Because we are a full-service professional home buyer here in Alberta, we make it easy for you. We pay for all of the closing costs. What we offer you is what you get (of course minus any mortgage payoff or other encumbrances on the property). Pretty refreshing, eh?
So when you add up the time you could save by working with Leger Home Buyers, the no-hassle experience, and the money you’ll save on commissions, fees, and holding costs while you wait to sell the traditional route, it’s obvious why for so many homeowners in Calgary selling to a professional house buyer is the best viable option.
See for yourself and get a fair all-cash offer on your house today.
*An inspection contingency lets the buyer have time to do an inspection and back out of the sale or negotiate a new price if there are repairs that need to be done. If you can’t come to an agreement with the buyer, the buyer has the right to back out of the sale. Similarly, a financing contingency gives the buyer the wiggle room to back out of the purchase if they can’t obtain a loan or if the home doesn’t appraise for the value that the bank needs to close the loan. Here at Leger Home Buyers, we don’t use bank financing so you don’t have to worry about our ability to close on a deal.
