| Commissions / Fees: | Up to 6-10%, paid by you, the seller |  None |
| Who Pays Closing Costs? | 2% on average is paid by you, the seller | We pay all costs. |
| Inspection & Financing Contingency* | Yes, sales can fall through. | None, purchased AS-IS condition |
| Appraisal Needed | Yes, the sale is often subject to appraisal. | No, we make cash offers. |
| Average Days Until Sold | +/- 92 Days | The date of your choice |
| Average Number of Showings | 20-30 for a market ready home | 1 (Just Us) |
| Average Closing Date* | 30-60+/- days after accepting the buyer’s offer | The date of your choice |
| Who Pays For Repairs?* | Negotiated during the inspection period | We pay for all repairs. |
| Additional and Holding Costs* | Costs can accumulated while listed on MLS | We can close in as little as 7 days |
*inspection contingency lets the buyer have time to do an inspection and back out of the sale or negotiate a new price if there are repairs that need to be done. If you can’t come to an agreement with the buyer, the buyer has the right to back out of the sale. Average 88% of buyers have the inspection contingency as part of their purchase agreement.
*financing contingency gives the buyer the wiggle room to back out of the purchase if they can’t obtain a loan or if the home doesn’t appraise for the value that the bank needs to close the loan.
*closing date occurs after an offer is accepted. This increases the total time on market. If 90 days lapsed from listing to offer being accepted, the additional wait time of 60 days until closing can bring the total time on the market up to 150 days or almost 6 months!
*repair costs gives the buyer ability to back out of offer if agreement is not reached on getting a discount or getting all repairs completed. An average number of repairs requested is 11 and average cost of repair is $550
*additional fees and holding costs like the mortgage and taxes, as well as utility bills will add up the longer the house sits on the market. There is also always (albeit a rare) possibility of a break in or dramatic even like pipes bursting during in winter in our Minnesota climate!
Here at Hazelnut Homes, we don’t use bank financing so you don’t have to worry about our ability to close on a deal.
Work The Numbers And See Which Way Helps You Get There…
When you really work the numbers you start to see the real benefits that each way of selling your [market] house offers.
The benefits of selling to Hazelnut Homes add up. Despite us not being able to offer you full retail value for your house… you will get a lot that the traditional house sale route can’t offer.
All these benefits do add up.
From offer to close and cash in your hand in as little as 7 days
You can get rid of the headache of that property fast and avoid paying any more utility payments, tax payments, insurance payments or mortgage payments. If you list your house and wait 90+ days to close… you have to figure in all of the costs of holding that property during the time you have that property listed and are waiting for the property to close. The totals can be 6 months or more.
