Congratulations on deciding to sell your San Diego home! Now you have a decision to make, and there are many options on how you may want to go about selling your home. With a thorough understanding of the methods available, you’ll be able to choose the best way to sell your home, given your circumstances.
Every seller has a unique set of circumstances surrounding their move, so it is important to first understand why you are moving in the first place. Is there financial distress? Has a sudden job relocation forced the sale? Or are you in no hurry with unlimited funds, ready to reap the highest possible profits from the sale, but don’t want to deal with the hassles of a traditional sale?
Each method has benefits, but it may not be the right choice. If you’re ready to understand your options better, read on as we explore three ways homeowners can sell a property in San Diego.
Listing Agent
Listing with an agent is the most commonly known way for homeowners to sell a property in San Diego. Working with a real estate agent is the most traditional method to selling a house. They can help assist you with the price you set for your home, as well as offering advice on how to prep your house for the San Diego market. This can include repairs that need to be made, staging the home, and using a professional photographer that can provide pictures, videos, drone shots, and even 3D renderings of your home for marketing purposes. But, of course, all of this comes at the cost of time and money, along with the real estate commissions and professional fees for inspections, appraisals, title search, and closing. On the other hand, professional buyers like those at Trusted House Buyers never charge commissions. When you work with Trusted House Buyers there is no need for showings or even the dreaded house inspection. You won’t have to jump through hoops to help buyers with their loan approval. In addition, at Trusted House Buyers , our professional buyers offer a guaranteed closing date and have the flexibility to allow you to pick the closing date, saving you from the headaches of moving twice.
FSBO
To avoid paying the costly fees and commissions associated with agents, homeowners often consider listing on their own as an FSBO to sell a property in San Diego. Although this may seem like the fastest and cheapest way to sell your home, FSBO listings are declining, with only about 8% being FSBO and only about 11% successfully selling without an agent. Of those, the final sales price was significantly less than comparable properties, around a $100,000 loss compared to properties sold with an agent earning $330,000, which means that FSBO homes sold for about 30% less profit than agent-assisted home sales. Professional buyers like those at Trusted House Buyers are local buyers who buy properties in as-is condition. If your property is not going to fare well on the traditional San Diego MLS because it is in need of repairs and updates (like most homes are), then making a direct sale to a cash buyer may be the right option for you. If your property isn’t the right fit for listing on the market, where distressed properties sell for abysmally low prices, then our professional buyers at Trusted House Buyers have an easy solution; they will take on all the risks of repairing your property.
Professional Buyers
While less commonly known, there is another option for homeowners to sell a property in San Diego and earn a fair price while avoiding the negatives of a listing agent or the hard-learned lessons and time wasted attempting to sell as an FSBO. These are professionals who are usually cash buy investors who can give quick, cash offers and can provide an easy and hopefully, stress-free solution to your unique moving circumstances. Professional buyers like those at Trusted House Buyers and their full-service in-house team of industry specialists handle everything, including a quick and efficient closing, without the closing costs or hidden fees to save sellers even more money.
