Often, deciding to sell a home is one of the biggest decisions a person will make. There are many different options to consider and each has its pros and cons. A successful, experienced investor can and will make the process of selling your home less stressful, quicker, and more straightforward.
Selling a house the traditional way with a real estate agent is often not the best for everyone. There can be lots of pitfalls when selling a house with an agent, including having to clean up and repair the property so it shows well, finding an agent who you trust and who can deliver on their promise (selling your house quickly), signing a contract that binds you to an agent for a certain term, the piles of paperwork you have to sign, shuffling paperwork back and forth from buyer to agent to you … and back.
With today’s real estate market conditions, a house can linger on the market for 90 days or longer! With an experienced investor, you can receive an offer within 48 hours and close in 30 days or less (often within 7 days), depending on how quickly the title can be transferred. They are able to settle quickly because investors pay cash and avoid the hassles of involving a bank or mortgage company.
Here are the top four reasons for selling your home to an experience investor who can provide a fair offer and quick cash:

If you have the cash, patience, time, and reliable contractors to complete the job for you, this may be an option. However, if you need to get quick cash for your Richmond house, then working with an investor is the best option for you. The experienced investor will not ask you to make repairs and will buy the home in “As-Is” condition, which means no headaches for the person selling.
Investors Do Not Charge Fees:

Also, an investor most likely will not care about code violations and will pay exiting past due fees – past due water bills, past due taxes, and even past due mortgage amounts to make it possible to close on you home quickly.
