Why shouldn’t you get an instant offer on your property? In recent years, this option has gained popularity among people who need to move at any cost. But recognize the downsides before you leap.
Instant Offers are Quick, however…
Getting a cash bid for your home after going to a website and inputting basic information sounds easy and stress-free.
However, there can be downsides to “instant offer” services.
Instant Offers May Benefit Investors More Than You
Investors who would buy your property want to make a profit. Some even intend to find a buyer willing to pay more right away. Why sell to an investor for less money than you could get otherwise?
The Instant Offer May Not be Based on Accurate Data
These services sometimes use incomplete, misleading information. Texas REALTORS®, however, has access to accurate market comparisons and pricing data.
Have you done any of the following?
- Replaced bathroom fixtures
- Installed new floors
- Installed new kitchen countertops
- Replaced HVAC systems
“Instant offers” may not consider those improvements. It would be best to have a thorough, in-person estimate of your home’s value.
