We Buy Houses in Atlanta Georgia Do you have a house for sale that has been sitting on the market for a long time? I was at a restaurant the other day waiting for a table and I happened to strike up a conversation with someone that moved to Atlanta about a year ago. He asked what I did here in Atlanta and I told him that we buys houses. How odd he said, I wish you were from Maryland, and then he told me the story of him trying to sell his house. Turns our he was transferred to Atlanta and until his house sold his family had to rent an apartment till their house sold from the state they were moving from. "It finally sold and now we are looking for a house", he couldn't wait, I guess the apartment living was not for him or his family. I was curious, so I had to ask, "how long did it take to sell your house"? "Over 11 months", he said with disgust. I couldn't help but ask him how much his house sold for and he told me $211,000 and he had it listed for $218,000. So then I asked him how much his payment was and he said right around $1,500 and then I couldn't help but ask him why he had considered selling to a "We Buy Houses Company" and he relied that he did speak with a couple but they wouldn't give him what he wanted."How much did were they offering you to buy your house?", I replied and he told me the best offer he got was $198,000 Wow,"I guess they were way off weren't they"? So How Much did he Loose by Not Selling Their House to a "We Buy Houses Company?" You may be asking, "how much did he loose"? I mean the numbers are pretty clear aren't they? He wanted $218,000 sold for $211,000, and if he sold to a "We Buy Houses" company he would have only got $198,000, so you would think he came out $13,111 ahead by not selling to a We Buy Houses Company... WRONG, and please allow me to show you why. His house was on the market for 11 months. 11 months x $1,500 = $16,500 he spent in just monthly payments alone. This does not even include electric, maintenance, etc,etc. What about real estate commission? Even if I was being generous and said he only paid 4% he would have paid $8,440 in commission. So, sure he got close to what he wanted, but he spent $33,000 to get it. In reality, he sold his house for $193,000. Now let's do some more math, did it really cost him $33,000 to sell his house? No, I am being generous again, it was even worse than that. Remember that he was renting an apartment for 10 months for his family at close to $1,000 a month, and that $10,000 he will never get back. So really, when you add it all up, he spent well over $43,000 to wait and sell his house. Seems to me that if he sold to a "We Buy Houses" company for $190,000 he would have still gotten a better deal than having to wait 11 months to sell by listing his property.
