Selling To JBH vs. Listing With A Local Real Estate Agent
Even in a seller’s market like, it’s smart to look at your options and see what will actually help you best reach your personal and financial goals with the sale of your house. While you may be able to get a higher “top line” selling price listing with a local Christchurch agent, but that doesn’t always boil down to more money in your pocket or less headache. Dive into the details below to compare your options and what is best for you.

Work The Numbers And See Which Way Helps You Get There…
When you really work the numbers you start to see the real benefits that each way of selling your house offers.
Yes, here at Jim Buys Houses we won’t be able to offer you full retail value for your house… but we also offer other benefits that going the traditional house sale route can’t offer.
Like…
From offer to settlement and cash in your hand in as little as 14 working days
You can get rid of the headache of that property fast and avoid paying any more payments, tax payments, insurance payments, mortgage payments, you get the idea. If you list your house and wait 90+ days to sell… you have to include all of the costs of holding that property during the time you have that property listed and are waiting for the property to sell.
Don’t worry about fixing anything up or cleaning your house again and again for the buyer after buyer before viewing.
We don’t care how dirty your house is (we’ve seen worse!) or how many repairs are needed (a complete fixer? great! we love projects)... we’d like to make an offer on your house. This saves you time and money that you can keep in your pocket.
Don’t worry about paying those extra 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 settlement costs. What we offer you is what you get (of course minus any mortgage payoff or other loans or encumbrances on the property). Pretty refreshing eh?
So when you add up the time you could save by working with Jim Buys Houses, the no-hassle experience, and the money you’ll save on huge commissions, fees, and holding costs while you wait to sell the traditional route… for many area homeowners selling to a professional house buyer like us is the best viable option.
