You do not need a realtor. You have other faster options.

Most people are unaware that there are more options to selling your Maryland property than you might be aware of.  Most people are only familiar with the option of calling a realtor and listing their house on the open market.  Some brave souls even attempt to sell by owner. Listing with a realtor can be time consuming and expensive.  It may take months to sell your property and the realtor fees can be costly.  Some people may need to simply sell their house fast for various reasons Selling by owner may save money, but can be even more time consuming and not very productive.

 
There is another option.  There are many companies out there that invest in real estate and are actively looking to buy your house.  You may have seen some of those signs that say ” We Buy Houses “.  Well that is exactly what they mean.  These are often groups of investors that are looking to purchase your house quickly.  Even if your property needs repairs, is damaged or if you are simply looking to sell fast for whatever reason.

No need to pay realtor commissions

Realtor fees and commissions can range between 5 to 7 percent of the sales price of your home.  This expense, combined with other closing costs and the expenses of getting your home into the proper condition to sell can quickly eat up any equity that you may have.  Why go through this unnecessary expense when you can go directly to a house buyer and cut out the middle man?  Many house buying companies can even cover closing costs.

You can sell in one week even if you are in danger of losing your house

Some people may be in danger of losing their house to foreclosure.  When this is the case, time is of the essence.  You may not have time to list your property and have it sell prior to the bank taking the property back.  Any equity that you have may be lost.  This is when it is beneficial to call a house buying company, such as Monocacy Home Buyers, LLC in Maryland or some other company in your area to get a no obligation offer on your property.  It is possible to close in as little as 7 days.  This may be necessary if your house is only days away from being auctioned off on the court house steps.  Companies such as Monocacy Home Buyers can also refer you to other services that include mortgage modification if you are not ready to sell your property but need help.

You can sell your house even if you owe more than it is worth

Some people may want to sell their property but are not sure what to do because they owe more on their property than it is worth.  There are still options.  One of those options is the short sale.  Most people may not understand what a short sale is or the process to get one completed.  A short sale is simply the process of asking the bank to forgive a portion of your mortgage to allow you to sell the property.  The process can be long and complicated.  Some home buying companies in combination with realtors who specialize in this process can help take the burden of this process off of the home seller.  In Maryland, the home buying company will agree to purchase your property and the realtor will facilitate the sale and deal with the paperwork and the bank.
