When you decide to sell your home in Hawaii, there are many variables to consider. While most sellers automatically think of listing with a real estate agent, their next thought is perhaps listing on their own to save the high commissions (FSBO = ‘for sale by owner’), but selling a home is challenging, time-consuming, and often quite costly. Another option is to work with a company who buys houses in Hawaii (us!) who can buy your home directly as-is. For many Hawaii home sellers, the convenience of this method is extremely attractive.
But how do you know which direct buyer will treat you fairly, listen to your needs, and provide you with the best options for the sale of your home? Read on his we explore how Oahu Home Buyers is different from other home buyers in Hawaii.
Compare
When you contact a direct buyer from Oahu Home Buyers about selling your home directly as-is, we’ll go over the various options we may have for you and how they would differ from selling your house with a traditional agent. At Oahu Home Buyers, we do this so that you and your ohana can make an educated decision once you’ve reviewed the details. We want you to be happy with the sale long after it’s closed.
We will help guide you to the best choice when you work with us, even if that means working with a real estate agent to list instead of selling directly to Oahu Home Buyers.
Easy
When you list your Hawaii home for sale, you should be prepared to pack up your family and quickly hide any sign of pets (or smells). Keeping your house clean and organized and ready for impromptu showings can be very stressful for everyone – parents, kids, and, yes, pets. Oahu Home Buyers is different from other home buyers in Hawaii because we make the process as stress-free as possible; you can relax when you sell to one of our direct buyers because you don’t need to worry about showings.
At Oahu Home Buyers, we keep everything simple, using easy contracts and explaining every step in detail. What you won’t find at Oahu Home Buyers are high-pressure sales tactics; our passion is helping our neighbors in Hawaii get from point A to point B as professionally as possible.
Savings
You’ll be surprised to see that you can save money when you sell your home directly to Oahu Home Buyers. You don’t have to worry about:
- Paying for any repairs,
- Preparing the home for showings,
- Staging your house for professional marketing images and showings,
- Paying for closing costs, agent commissions, or hidden fees
As-Is
Not all homes are the right fit for listing on the Hawaii MLS. Typically, properties that aren’t in new or like-new or “move-in ready” condition are often passed over by the typical retail shopping crowd (usually families). Unfortunately, first impressions count a great deal on real estate website listings, which shouldn’t be a surprise. If the images clearly show your house is in need of expensive repairs or upgrades, any offers you receive are likely to be much lower than you’d want.
Oahu Home Buyers is different from other home buyers in Hawaii because we will buy your property in as-is condition for a fair price and/or term. That means you can forget about the inspection and leave all the risks of handling the repairs to Oahu Home Buyers and our team.
Fast
Are holding costs weighing you down? Mortgage payments, insurance, taxes, HOA fees, utilities, etc.? The time spent prepping, repairing, listing, and showings adds up quickly, but when you throw in a lengthy drawn-out approval process for your buyers, it can become extremely costly to hold onto your property any longer than you can afford to. And what happens if the buyer’s loan falls through? You have to restart the process from scratch. Now, you face listing again, and buyers tend to avoid listings lingering too long on the market, which never bodes well for your final sales price.
Oahu Home Buyers is different from other home buyers in Hawaii because our direct buyers have the power of cash backing our offer — we don’t heed to qualify at Bank of Hawaii, CPB, or any other financial institution for our residential purchases. As a result, we can close quickly, typically within 2-3 weeks. In addition, with our full-service team, we handle everything efficiently, saving you valuable time and sparing you unnecessary frustration.
Oahu Home Buyers stands out from the crowd in all the ways you’d want. So, why not talk to us at Oahu Home Buyers today and find out how we’re different from other homebuyers in Hawaii?
