Message: [QUOTE="HuskyFich, post: 3793075, member: 2217"] I own a real estate investment company. We purchased and sold upwards of 25 homes this year, mostly all without using the MLS. We use a similar strategy to Zillow/open door of the fair cash offer, no fees, closing costs, commissions, etc. I will say, If you have the ability to put your home on the MLS, you will probably make the biggest chunk of change, just because your putting it on “the market.” But the fees, agent commissions, constant showings, etc. add a lot of unnecessary noise that may be unappealing. The truth is, people buy homes so many different ways now, the MLS is just another piece of the pie (yes, still a rather large piece). If you can find a cash buyer, that offers you a price close to what you’d make after fees, commissions, etc... do it. It’s usually a quick close (<30 days), the buyer doesn’t need to get prequalified conventionally, and can make the process a whole lot smoother for you. Just make sure you’re doing research about homes selling in your area so you are well informed. If your home is a 3BD/2BTH that is 20 years outdated, don’t count on the 4BD/3BTH new build construction down the street to be an equal comparison for price. [/QUOTE]
