I'm assuming your state based on the dubvee lol, but I wouldn't trust a damn thing about them. You'd lose more money to them than you'd pay to a realtor after a successful sale. The market is weird rn, so idk if it's still solidly a sellers market, but you'd still likely come out way ahead going through a realtor. It honestly is not a bad process, it just sucks because if your house won't pass inspection or appraisal, it's a headache to get stuff fixed.
lol, yeah.
I went through inspection and appraisal 5 years ago when I refinanced, so that's all fine. But I would lose my insanely good mortgage (15 year at 2.2% APR) and have to start again with whatever current rates are though I could likely put down a very large down payment.
I wasn't seriously considering the offer so much as wondering how legit it was in preparation to sit down and think about thinking about considering the offer lol. But the replies here have cleared up how predatory these offers are, so, yeah, it's going in the trash with the rest of the similar offers.
Lol the shit hole state part was all the damning evidence I needed.
Yeah, it just isn't worth it. Selling is, all things considered, pretty painless, especially if you have no work needed. Just sit and listen to offers, and try to determine which ones are real people vs private equity if you want. Although when I sold mine, we had people literally break our counter during a viewing? Lmao so that kinda sucked but it was a minor inconvenience.
Lmao it was surreal. The next viewing was there early in the driveway waiting to go in, and they heard a like crashing noise, then the people inside quickly left, and made it a point to say "yeah the counter was already broken" and just dipped lmao. The 2nd groups realtor told ours, because obviously why wouldn't they lol
