Selling To Palmetto Home Buyers vs. Listing With A Local South Carolina Agent

Even in a seller’s market like South Carolina, it’s smart to look at your options and see what will actually help you best reach your goals with the sale of your house. While you may be able to get a higher “top line” sales price listing with a local Charleston agent, that doesn’t always boil down to more money in your pocket or less headache. Dive into the details below to compare your options. 

Selling with an agent Sold To Palmetto Home Buyers
Commissions / Fees 6% on average is paid by you, the seller NONE
Who Pays Closing Costs? 2% on average is paid by you, the seller NONE – (If your property meets our criteria, we pay your closing costs!)
Inspection & Financing Contingency* Yes, up to 15% of sales fall through NONE
Appraisal Needed Yes, the sale is often subject to appraisal NONE – We make cash offers

Number of Showings It Depends 1 (Just Us)

Work the numbers and see which way helps you get there…

When you really work the numbers you start to see the real benefits that each way of selling your South Carolina house offers.

Yes, here at Palmetto Home Buyers we won’t be able to offer you full retail value for your house… but we also offer other benefits that the traditional house sale route can’t offer.

From offer to close and cash in your hand in as little as 7 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 South Carolina, we try to make it as easy as possible for you. If your property meets our criteria, we pay for all of the attorney closing costs. What we offer you is what you get (of course minus any mortgage payoff, taxes or other encumbrances on the property). Pretty refreshing eh?

So when you add up the time you could save by working with Palmetto Home Buyers, the no-hassle experience, and the money you’ll save on commissions, fees, and holding costs while you wait to sell the traditional route… for many area homeowners selling to a professional house buyer is the best viable option.

*An inspection contingency lets the buyer have time to do an inspection and back out of the sale or negotiate a new price if there are repairs that need to be done. If you can’t come to an agreement with the buyer, the buyer has the right to back out of the sale. Similar, a financing contingency gives the buyer the wiggle room to back out of the purchase if they can’t obtain a loan or if the home doesn’t appraise for the value that the bank needs to close the loan. Here at Palmetto Home Buyers, we don’t use bank financing so you don’t have to worry about our ability to close on a deal.
