In summary, an inspection contingency gives the buyer the option to back out or renegotiate if repairs are needed, while a financing contingency allows the buyer to withdraw if they can't obtain a loan or if the home doesn't appraise at the required value.
At Bay City Home Buyers, we don’t use bank financing so you don’t have to worry about our ability to close on the sale of your house.
Work The Numbers And See Which Way Helps You Get There…
When you really work the numbers, you'll begin to see the true pros and cons of listing with an agent vs. taking a cash offer.
Yes, here at Bay CIty Home Buyers we 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 that property fast and avoid paying 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 additional costs of holding that property during the time you have it listed and are waiting for the property to close.
Don’t worry about fixing anything up or cleaning your house constantly for each "potential" buyer.
We don’t care how dirty your house is (we’ve seen it all) or how many repairs are needed (a complete fixer? great! we love projects). We want to make an offer on your house today! Let us save you time and put more money in your pocket.
No pesky closing fees. We’ve got you covered!
Because we are a full-service professional home buyer, we make it easy for you. We pay for all of the closing costs. What we offer is what you get (of course minus any mortgage payoff or other encumbrances on the property).
So when you add up the time you could save by working with Bay City Home Buyers, the no-hassle experience, and the money you’ll save on commissions, fees, and holding costs, it’s obvious why for so many homeowners are selling to a professional house buyer these days.
See for yourself and get a fair all-cash offer on your house today.
