Selling to SellHouseChicago vs. Listing With a Chicagoland Agent

How does selling directly to a home buyer program compare to listing with a local real estate agent? It really depends on your sales situation. In all cases, it is best to consult with an expert to help you decide what path makes the most sense in the sale of your property.

Dive into the details below to compare your options.

	Selling w/ An Agent	SOLD To SellHouseChicago

From offer to close and cash in your hand in as little as 30 days

You can get rid of the headache of that property fast and avoid paying any more utility payments, tax payments, insurance payments, mortgage payments, you get the drill. If you list your house and wait 90+ days to close… you have to figure in all of the costs of holding that property during the time you have that property listed and are waiting for the property to close.

Don’t worry about fixing anything up or cleaning your house again and again for buyer after buyer

We don’t care how dirty your house is (we’ve seen worse!) or how many repairs are needed (a complete fixer? great! we love projects)… we’d like to make an offer on your house. This saves you time and money that you can keep in your pocket.

Don’t worry about paying those pesky closing fees (we’ve got you covered)

Because we are a full-service professional home buyer here in Chicago, we make it easy for you. We pay for all of the closing costs. So when you add up the time you could save by working with SellHouseChicago, the no-hassle experience, and the money you’ll save on commissions, fees, and holding costs…. for many Chicago property owners, selling to a professional house buyer is the best viable option.
