So, Patrick, when I get a cash offer from Homebuyers of North Carolina, what’s the catch? That’s a great question, and here’s the good news. There’s no catch. We’re just different.

And through the conversation, you’ll find out there’s no catch.

Patrick, when should I consider selling my house for cash to Homebuyers of NC? The first thing to consider is always and forever. But after that, I would take into consideration life-altering circumstances. Maybe there’s been a divorce. Maybe there’s been a fire in the home. Maybe you’re moving out of town quickly. Maybe it’s better than that. Maybe it’s worse than that. But if you got a life-altering circumstance, that’s going to be a great option for you.

So, Patrick, I just inherited a house from my aunt. How does each option work for me in that scenario? Yep, that’s a great question. Number one would be cash, right? We’re going to make it the easiest, the fastest. If you want this off your shoulders in like 3 weeks, that’s going to be the perfect option for you. Number two would be our Retail Advantage program. If you’ve got some time and want to maybe do a little bit more than the cash offer, Retail Advantage is going to be perfect for you. If the house is in mint condition and you don’t care how long it takes to sell, then we could do a traditional listing, because that might take the longest.
Transcript
So Patrick, what is the Retail Advantage option and how does it differ from a cash option? That’s a great question. The Retail Advantage option is different than the cash offer. With the Retail Advantage, we just make everything under our control, so that way you don’t have to worry about a thing. We make it simple, we get you a little more than what you might have first been thinking, but this way it’s still easy, it’s still simple, and we make sure we put the stress and the headache on our shoulders.

So, Patrick, with Homebuyers of NC, can I list my house traditionally? It’s a great question. Simple answer is absolutely. That’s one of the three options that we have. The most important thing is give us a call, and we’ll figure out between all three of our options which one’s going to be the best path for you.
Transcript
So, Patrick, what mistakes do you typically see with a traditional listing? It’s a good question. I would say the biggest mistake with a traditional listing is pricing the property too high. It sits there, it doesn’t sell, it gains what’s called a stigma, and then it sits there even longer. So, you really got to be in the best possible position to have that traditional listing. Otherwise, we’ve got multiple options and we’ll help you find the best for you.
Call and talk it through with our local team, or tell us about the property and we’ll reach out. There’s no obligation.
