Should I Consider a Lowball Investor Offer?




A lot of homeowners are confused about why they’d ever accept a lowball investor offer, but they provide maximum convenience in exchange for the discount.



 

Recently, I received a call from a friend asking about a “lowball” offer they received while trying to sell their home. Even though they had priced their home very reasonably, this offer was well below what they were expecting—what was happening? As it turned out, this offer came from an investor. In case you aren’t aware, offers from investors are becoming more common all across the country. According to Business Insider, 44% of homes were purchased by investors in 2023, and this number is expected to increase. So, if investors pay below market value for homes, why do so many people accept their offers? Does it make sense for you to consider an investor offer when selling? To answer these questions, today, I’m going over three key benefits of investor offers you should consider when selling your home:


1. Investors don’t care about the condition of your home. To get top dollar on the open market, you need to put in a little work. Painting, landscaping, staging, marketing, and more are necessary to truly maximize your sale. If you don’t have the time or money to put in this work, or you just don’t want to deal with the hassle, you might want to consider an investor offer. They will pay for your home as-is, which means they don’t care if it’s a bit of a fixer-upper.


"Investors offer maximum convenience in exchange for a lower price.


2. Investors close quickly. The market is a little slower than it used to be, and this can be a huge hurdle if you need to move as soon as possible. Fortunately, investor sales often move quickly. They’re used to buying homes on a regular basis, and there aren’t many negotiations when selling to an investor since they don’t care much about the condition of your house. They may even be willing to give you flexible closing terms to make it easier for you to find housing after moving. 3. Investors pay in cash. In real estate, cash is king. One of the most common reasons why real estate deals fall apart is because the buyer can’t secure proper financing from a bank. However, you don’t have to worry about that with cash buyer investors. Real estate agents love working with cash buyers because there’s no delay; if they have the money, they can get it to you immediately. While it might initially seem like an investor is trying to lowball you, the truth is that they provide an option that gives you maximum convenience. If that sounds like something you might be interested in, call or email me, and I can get you a free quote for an instant cash offer on your home. On the other hand, if you’re determined to get the best price possible, I can help get your home ready for the open market with as little stress as possible. I look forward to hearing from you!

Children Need You! Join Our Charity Walk this October

 

Join us as we raise awareness and funds for children battling MDS.




 

Are you wondering how you can make a difference in our community? Our team here in Orange County is inviting you to support a local charity that’s impacting the lives of children right here in our community. A local family in the San Clemente area started LiveLikeJojo.Org, an organization that has tirelessly supported children affected by Mitochondrial Deletion Syndrome. This rare condition affects about 1,000 to 4,000 children around ten years old. This disorder impairs how the body’s cells produce energy, affecting the organs and other parts of the body. Now, you, too, can be a part of this fight against mitochondrial deletion syndrome. We will sponsor this cause, and together, we’ll raise funds and awareness to benefit over 13 local hospitals. We aim to provide children with blankets, sunshine boxes, and other items vital for their overall health. We also invite you to participate in our annual walk battling mitochondrial deletion syndrome if you want to support us in person. We’re hoping to gather over 650 passionate participants to join us.
