Selling a home for cash can be a much simpler alternative to a traditional listing but if you’ve never worked with a professional home buyer before, it’s natural to have questions.

At Evergreen Home Buyers, we’ve been helping homeowners in Jacksonville sell their properties for cash, and we hear many of the same questions again and again.

If you’re considering a cash sale, here are four things you should know:

1. Will You List My Home on the MLS?

Usually, no. When you sell directly to a professional cash buyer like Evergreen Home Buyers, you’re selling directly rather than putting the property on the open market.

That means you don’t have to prepare your home for showings, host open houses, or wait for a buyer to secure traditional financing.

Depending on the property and transaction, a professional buyer may purchase the home directly or work with another investor or buyer.

2. How Do You Determine Your Cash Offer?

A cash offer isn’t based on a single number or estimate.

We look at several details, including the home’s location, size, condition, comparable properties, needed repairs, and the potential value of the property after improvements.

Because we’re experienced in the Jacksonville market, we can evaluate the property and explain how we arrived at our offer.

3. Are There Fees, Commissions, or Repair Costs?

One of the biggest reasons homeowners consider a cash sale is simplicity.

At Evergreen Home Buyers, we purchase homes as-is, so you don’t have to make repairs, renovate the property, or clean it up for showings before receiving an offer.

There are also no real estate agent commissions when you sell directly to us. As with any real estate transaction, it’s important to understand exactly which closing costs or expenses each party is responsible for before signing an agreement.

4. How Quickly Can I Sell My Home?

A cash sale can often move much faster than a traditional home sale because you aren’t waiting for a buyer to obtain mortgage financing.

At Evergreen Home Buyers, we can typically provide a cash offer within 48 hours, and we may be able to close in as little as two weeks, depending on the property and circumstances.

Even better, you can choose a closing timeline that works for you.

You don’t have to commit to anything just to learn what your home could be worth.

If you’re dealing with an unwanted property, inherited home, repairs you don’t want to make, or simply want to avoid the traditional selling process, Evergreen Home Buyers can help you explore your options.
