"I want to sell my house fast for cash, can a realtor help?" The answer is likely no. Homeowners that don't need to sell their house quickly and have the time and patience to wait for retail price on their house often hire a realtor to help them with the traditional selling route. But, homeowners looking for a simple selling process and want to move on quickly may not find this traditional route works for them.
There are definitely pluses to hiring a qualified real estate agent. But if you want to sell a house fast (and without hassles)... there are a few minuses. Check out below how selling your house to HomeVestors compares to the traditional selling route.

| Appraisal Needed: | Sale can be subject to appraisal | None |
| Cleaning & Prepping: | Time spent before every showing | None |

| Repairs: | Repairs are made both before listing and then again after the inspection | None |
| Average Days Until Sold: | Varies depending on location and market conditions: National Avg. 68 days on market plus an additional 30-60 days after accepting the offer to close | Close in as little as 3 weeks |
If you want to sell a house fast, calling a realtor may not be the best way to go. Realtors can take weeks, months, or even longer to find a qualified buyer. Once they do, the buyer might back out or, the deal could fall apart during traditional financing. And during all that time, you have to schedule your life around open houses and unexpected showings. Plus that 6% commission? If we do the math - on a $200,000 home, that’s a $12,000 hit.
With HomeVestors, you get someone who will walk you through the entire process but, without the hassle of open houses or showings. And when we make cash offers, there are no delays from banks.
