Small business real estate investors are people or small companies that want to purchase your house in order to make money.

Pros of working with a small business real estate investor: 

• Quicker closing than traditional home sales
• Flexible purchase and payment options

Cons to consider when working with a real estate investor: 

• Inexperienced buyers
• Fledging tech and processes
• Lack of financing
• Limited marketplace understanding
• No negotiation on offer price

While this type of sale works for some, many home sellers require support through their sale when it comes to finding buyers and assisting with the closing process. When that is the case, it may be better to work with someone who has experience.

There are online “instant” buyers (or “iBuyers”) who buy houses for all cash. Their selling point is their technology that can make an offer on your home instantly. But unlike local cash buyers such as HomeVestors, they tend to have little personal contact, working through online forms and emails, and they may not have in-depth knowledge of your housing market.

Pros of selling to an iBuyer:

• Instant cash offer
• No real estate agent fees
• No home staging or showings

Cons when using iBuyers:

• Lower offers
• Impersonal experience
• High transaction fees and deductions
• No negotiation on offer price

iBuyers often charge sales commissions and/or service fees, sometimes at higher percentages than what real estate agents charge. Plus, they may add fees after you accept their offer—even as late as the closing.

As opposed to an iBuyer, who tries to find easy-to-sell homes in good condition, a cash home buyer looks for hard-to-sell homes. Cash buyers purchase houses in “as is” condition based on current market value.

Pros of selling to a cash home buyer:

• Fast closing
• Personal experience
• Buys houses in “as is” condition
• No fees or closing costs

Cons of selling to a cash home buyer:

• Lower offers
• Scam buyers

Some cash buyers are local investors with only a couple of years in the business. Their lack of experience can mean they might not be able to overcome obstacles that often arise in a real estate transaction.
