Hiring An Agent vs. A Direct Sale To Peak Real Estate Solutions
Whether you hire an agent or sell your house to a direct buyer (like us), there are pros and cons to each. Below, we compare some of the things you can expect when selling your house in the Seattle area. At Peak Real Estate Solutions, we want to help you reach your selling goals whatever those may be. We do this by comparing your options so you can make a smart and well-informed decision about how to sell (but we hope you choose to work with us!).
 | Hiring A Real Estate Agent | |
|---|---|---|
| Commissions / Fees: | $0 – There are no commissions or fees | Sellers will typically pay 6% of the final sale price in commissions, plus any applicable fees |
| Who Pays Closing Costs?: | $0 – We will handle everything! | The seller will be responsible for about 2% of the final sale price in closing costs |
| Inspection & Financing Contingency*: | Not required | Required by most lenders, causing up to 15% of sales to fall through |
| Appraisal Needed: | Not required | Required by most lenders |
| Average Days On The Market: | 0 – We are direct buyers | +/- 80 Days |
| Number of Showings: | Only us | Unknown |
| Closing Date: | 5 days | 30-60 +/- days after accepting an offer |
| Who Pays For Repairs?: | We do | Negotiated between the buyer and seller after the inspection and appraisal processes |
*An inspection contingency lets the buyer have time to do an inspection and back out of the sale or negotiate a new price if there are repairs that need to be done. If you can’t come to an agreement with the buyer, the buyer has the right to back out of the sale. Similarly, a financing contingency gives the buyer the wiggle room to back out of the purchase if they can’t obtain a loan or if the home doesn’t appraise for the value that the bank needs to close the loan. Here at Peak Real Estate Solutions, we don’t use bank financing so you don’t have to worry about our ability to close a deal.
Run The Numbers For Your Seattle Area House
Our offer will not be full retail. However, when it comes down to crunching the numbers and the amount you will save on things like repairs, commissions, and continued ownership costs while you are waiting to find a buyer and just flat time and headache saved. You might find the final numbers are less far off than you had thought! Once you factor everything in and consider the amount of convenience we provide for you and the amount of frustration we can save you, you will find a direct sale is the best way to go… in more ways than one! We at Peak RESolutions saw a vast void in the real estate market. Take Uber for example, they saw taxi services being done decently but saw the void and filled it to make taxi services even easier, more convenient, and cheaper! We at Peak RESolutions are trying to do the same brilliant void-filling for home sellers like you.
For Example, We Can Close In Only 5 Days!
You can get rid of the headache of that property fast and avoid paying any more utility payments, tax payments, insurance payments, mortgage payments, you get the gist. When you list your home in the typical agent-to-buyer method and wait 3+ months to close, you have to take into account all of the costs associated with holding onto your property during that period of waiting to close.
A Direct Sale to Peak Real Estate Solutions Solves it All:
There Are No Repairs Needed
We buy as-is. You don’t have to repair, upgrade or do anything else in order to sell. We will take the property on, repairs and all!
You Won’t Even Have To Clean
When we say as-is, we mean as-is! You don’t even need to clean up. You can even leave your unwanted dishes in the sink and furniture in the living room. We will handle everything so you can sell fast and move on!
There Are No Costs
