*Understanding Contingencies
  • Inspection Contingency: During the home buying process, an inspection contingency plays a crucial role. It allows the buyer and professional home inspector to thoroughly inspect the property and potentially renegotiate terms or back out of the sale if significant repairs are necessary. This safeguard ensures that buyers aren’t stuck with a property requiring extensive fixes.
  • Financing Contingency: Buyers also benefit from a financing contingency. If they’re unable to secure a loan or if the home doesn’t appraise at the value you’ve agreed upon, this contingency allows them to back out of the purchase. It mitigates financial risks and provides flexibility to explore other financing options.

Learn More About How HOMEMAX Compares To Other Selling Options

    • We specialize in quick transactions and offer all-cash deals. There are no expensive realtor commissions, or hidden fees.HOMEMAX’s offer is firm, and the process is straightforward. We are local and will walk your house before giving an offer.
    • We focus on distressed properties and often buy houses in need of repairs.
    • The closing process can be as swift as 10 days (in some cases HOMEMAX can close as fast as 72 hours)
    • Keep in mind that the trade-off for speed and convenience is often a slightly lower sale price compared to traditional methods.
  1. iBuyers:
    • Companies like Opendoor and Offerpad operate as iBuyers. They use technology and algorithms to estimate your property value to provide cash offers. They can charge expensive service fees.
    • Typically they will give a price, then reduce their price after actually viewing your property. Then they’ll subtract repairs costs from your offer during the process as well.
    • The closing period usually ranges from 14 to 60 days.
  2. Real Estate Agents:
    • If your house is updated, doesn’t need any repairs, and you have plenty of time, listing your property with an agent might be your best option.
    • Realtors charge a commission (usually 6%) in exchange for listing your home on the MLS (Multiple Listing Service).
    • This process is usually the longest, least convenient, and most expensive option, but generally will bring the highest sales price.
    • This will require formal showings, inspections, appraisals, and buyers are typically purchasing using bank financing (not cash)
    • While it may take longer (around 90+ days), you’ll likely receive a better price.
