How Long Does It Take To Sell My House With An Agent Vs. An Investor In Sunol CA?

You want to sell your home, and perhaps you need to sell in a hurry. Chances are, you arrived at this blog post because you’re hoping to find the best solution for you that sells your house as quickly as YOU want. Before we get to the answer, it’s important to understand the difference between what an agent does and what an investor does: When you sell your property with an agent, you ask the agent to represent you in a sale and try and find a buyer on your behalf. In other words, you’re selling THROUGH an agent to a buyer. When you sell your home directly to "John Buys Bay Area Houses", you are actually working directly with the one buying the house. In other words, you’re selling to an investor (they are the buyer). Now that you understand the difference, here’s how long it can take…

How Long Does It Take To Sell My House With An Agent Vs An Investor?

An agent needs to show your house to prospective buyers and try to convince them to buy. Therefore, they’ll want your house to be in pristine condition, and then they need to find as many prospective buyers as they can to show your house to. Therefore, it can take weeks or months to fix up your home before an agent feels that it’s ready to list. And once the agent lists it, it can take months for the agent to find buyers to show your house to, and for one of those buyers to make an offer (on average, it can take 3-6 months… sometimes as long as 12 months for this to happen). And what people don’t realize is: if the buyer can’t get financing or gets cold feet in the deal then they can back out and you go through the process again. Therefore, it can take months to sell your home through an agent – it all depends on how quickly you can get your house in “showroom condition” and how quickly they can find a buyer and whether the buyer goes through with the purchase.

This part surprises most people: an investor can purchase your house very fast – some investors can even buy in as little as 7-10 days if that’s what you want. That’s because the investor is the buyer (so no showings are necessary) and many investors (including us here at "John Buys Bay Area Houses") purchase properties in any condition so you don’t have to fix up the property either.
