One of the biggest downsides to the traditional selling process of listing with a realtor is that it takes time. You have to interview and vet agents in order to find the best one for your situation. You then have to plan and budget to prepare your house for the market. Getting a property market-ready, depending on the updates and repairs that need to be made, can take anywhere from a few weeks to several months of work. You may have to devote a few weekends to decluttering and deep cleaning, or you may have to invest a few months into more extensive projects to make your house as marketable as possible to potential buyers. Even after you commission the right agent and list your market-ready house, you’ll likely have weeks to months of showings and open houses ahead of you before the right offer comes. And after you accept an offer, you have to wait for an inspection and appraisal, which can lead to contingencies, renegotiations, and delays that can prevent you from reaching a quick and easy closing.
When you sell your house directly to We Buy Houses In West Georgia, you can bypass all of these delays and save yourself months of hassle. We offer our clients and quick and easy 3-step process for selling their homes: you contact us with information about your property, we set up a meeting and make an offer, and if you accept, we can close with a local attorney in as little as a week!
Another drawback to the traditional method of listing your house with an agent is that it involves a lot of expenses. You have to pay your agent’s commission, which in Georgia is usually around 2-3% of your property’s final selling value. Additionally, you will have to invest in the repairs and updates that will be necessary to make your house market-ready, which can range from a few hundred to several thousand dollars. You will also have to consider to ongoing cost of holding the property, such as taxes and utility bills, as well as the closing costs of selling your property, which can be an additional few thousand dollars.
Our process eliminates all of these expenses. Because you approach us directly to buy your property as-is, you bypass the need for paying an agent’s commission or investing in repairs and updates.

Additionally, we handle all additional fees during our closing process, so you don’t have to worry about paying closing costs or attorney fees.
When selling your house the traditional way, you often have very little control. For instance, you have to be mindful of what repairs are needed, how long they will take, and if any professional labor will be needed before you can list. You also have to abide by your agent’s schedule, as well as the schedules of buyers and their agents when it comes to open houses, showings, and closings. You have to wait for an offer to come in, and you might even have to re-negotiate deals based on your buyer’s requests or the results of appraisal or inspection. In short, a lot of the traditional selling process is determined by other people.
