5 Things a Prairie Village Listing Agent isn’t Going to Tell You

If you’ve decided to sell your Prairie Village home, stop looking for a listing agent and consider your options before making a costly mistake. Not all properties and not all sellers fit perfectly into the standard MLS listing model.

Some home sellers are under a lot of pressure and can’t afford to carry the expenses of relocating before selling their first home. Time is of the essence for these sellers; waiting for the listing process and loan approval for buyers isn’t feasible. In addition, some sellers aren’t in a position to complete the prepping and repairs either physically or financially. Read on as we explore five things a Prairie Village listing agent will not tell you. 

Your Options For Selling

Not all Prairie Village listing agents will tell you about different options for selling your house, for most your best option will be to list with them. Here at kcmoHomeBuyer, we will discuss all of your options with you to help you decide which method suits your unique circumstances best. We are completely transparent at kcmoHomeBuyer, even if that means we need to refer you to an agent for a traditional listing.We are local, living, and working right here in the Kansas City Metro, and we’re proud of the work we do as a part of the real estate market. To that end, our goal at kcmoHomeBuyer is to help improve the quality of life in our community and help our neighbors, like you, solve their problems.

Your Closing Date

While the date you will close isn’t something that a Prairie Village listing agent can tell you until they find a buyer and even then the transaction could fall apart. But with a direct buyer like the Tuckers at kcmoHomeBuyer, you can set a closing on the calendar date that works best for you. Wouldn’t it be nice if you could time your closing with your upcoming plans for moving into your new home?

Your Total Expenses

While a Prairie Village listing agent can tell you how much all your closing costs and fees will be when you sell your house, they don’t usually take into account the holding costs you will have until your house sells. These are the monthly expenses that you continue to carry for utilities, maintenance, and any further repairs as may be required. If you sell quickly, great, but if it takes a while they will continue to tally up as your home lingers on the market and you watch the profits dwindle. Direct buyers like those at kcmoHomeBuyer lay it all out in the open and are transparent with the numbers used to calculate our offer, which we want you to agree is fair. At kcmoHomeBuyer, we want you to feel good about your direct sale long after closing.

Your Total Profits

A Prairie Village listing agent can’t tell you exactly how much of your final sales price will be until they find you a buyer. Then you can calculate their commissions and other costs. On the other hand, should you reach out to the Tuckers at kcmoHomeBuyer, we can tell you exactly what your house will sell for if we should be your buyer. We can calculate out your total profits very quickly so you know the bottom line.

When you work with us here atkcmoHomeBuyer we will detail the differences between what we think your home would sell for should you list it and your estimated cost, however, we can’t tell you when it would sell with the traditional listing. We will also compare that to a cash offer closing on the date of your choice. We do this because we want you to make an educated decision about such a significant financial transaction.

How Much You’ll Pay for Repairs

While real estate agents may advise you on the repairs, upgrades, and renovations you should consider, something a Prairie Village listing agent will not tell you is the total amount of expenditures you’ll face before the final sale. Making repairs is fraught with surprises that often cost thousands of dollars, especially in older homes.  In addition, if your buyers find new issues with the property, they may have contingencies in the contract that require you to pay for any repairs or take a significant hit off your asking price for their inflated estimates to take on the risks of making repairs. At kcmoHomeBuyer, we lift the burden and risks of making repairs off your shoulders and onto ours; when your deal closes, your responsibility ends. 

There are many things a Prairie Village listing agent isn’t going to tell you, mainly because they don’t know yet. The direct buyers at kcmoHomeBuyer eliminate the loan process for buyers with a cash offer. Cash allows the direct buyers at kcmoHomeBuyer to bypass the red tape of conventional listings with a convenient and fast guaranteed closing date. A direct sell to the Tuckers at kcmoHomeBuyer can save you from out-of-pocket expenses and the hassles of showings with no commissions, hidden fees, or complicated contracts.
