Let’s dive into how you can sell your local Tampa house fast and get cash for your house without having to list your house with a real estate agent, or wait months for it to sell.
How Do Cash For Homes Buyers in Tampa Work?
Finding reputable local Tampa house buyers who pay cash for homes in Tampa can be a daunting task. However, with a little research, you can find that there are several investors out there looking to buy property for cash. There are several things you should look at when selecting a local cash home buyer (including evaluating our company, You Pay Zero Tampa, we buy local Tampa FL houses fast).
And before you dive in below… if you’re not sure how the process of a cash buyer like You Pay Zero Tampa buying your local Tampa house works… check out our “How it Works” page on this site and our FAQ.
Price And Time Are Trade-Offs – Which Is More Important To You?
As you might suspect, it is not easy to get the full market value for your home if you are in a time crunch and need the cash today.
The tried and true MLS + Real Estate Agent combo is going to get you the most dollars at the end of the day. However, to get the full market value of your house, it’s going to need to be in pristine condition i.e. you’ll have to do repairs, update it to modern tastes, clean it professionally, pay for professional marketing video/pictures, and pay for staging.
On top of that, selling on the MLS is not fast. Buyers on the MLS are looking for a forever home and are PICKY, especially as the market around Tampa is shifting quickly to a buyers market. This mans you may be looking at 3-6+ months to get to closing, with all of the costs above coming out of your pocket before the sale, and you’ll lose 6% of the eventual sale price to the Real Estate Agent’s commission. Selling a house on the MLS for top dollar is tough, Real Estate Agents earn their commission by getting you the most, but it’s a burden to the seller both in cash up-front and time… so if it takes you 6 months to sell and you have to pay a 6% commission… is that worth the wait?
If you decide it’s not, we would love to talk to you. Buying houses is what we do. We know Tampa like the backs of our hands and bringing value to Tampa houses is our bread and butter. At You Pay Zero Tampa, we’ll evaluate your house… determine what it would be worth fully fixed up & marketed (like described in the list above)… determine how much we’ll have to invest in repairing / renovating the property… how long it will take us… and the risk we would take in buying the house as-is for cash, renovating, and selling it… so we do tend to make offers that are somewhat below the full retail market value (i.e. the after-renovation, after cleaning & pictures value). All the work is going to be done at some point, it’s just a matter of where you want to step off the ride and put the cash in your pocket.
We can close quickly (in as little as 7 days if you need us to)… so if selling your house fast with zero hassle at all is more important than getting every penny out of the sale… submit your info on the form on this next page or give us a call at (813) 686-5404.
We can make you a fast no-hassle offer in less than 24 hours.
We like to make sure every Tampa house seller we work with knows all of their options, and we even encourage you to get other offers and shop them around. Based on our experience, we won’t be offering the lowest price in town… and we often won’t offer you the highest price… but you can be assured that when we make you an offer, we’ll follow through with what we say we’re going to do.
How Much Work Do You Want To Put Into Making Your Tampa FL House Sell?
One of the biggest values that local Tampa cash home buyers like You Pay Zero Tampa offer is that we take 100% of all of the work and hassle to sell your house off of your hands.
We handle it all.
No, we’re not listing your house like an agent does. An agents job is simply to sell the house for you. The burden of getting the house up to retail level is still on you with that route. You’ll still have to clean up your house… get it ready to show it when the streams of potential buyers want to see it… go back and forth through your agent with the buyers on price and terms, etc, etc.. It can be a lot of work and out of pocket costs.
We want to buy the house from you, as-is, today, for cash. Selling to us means you get money in your pocket, and the house off your shoulders fast.
No matter how much work the house needs, we’ll buy it as-is. We’ll pay for the repairs it needs out of OUR pocket AFTER we buy it from you. You won’t have to worry about the paperwork either… we’ll handle coordinating everything with a reputable neutral party closing agent in town of your choosing… or we can recommend the ones we’ve used for years.
Basically, we can make you a fair all cash offer on your Tampa house (or Call Us Today at (813) 686-5404!)… and if it’s a fit, great! We’ll handle everything. If not, no hard feelings, and you’ll be a little better educated and armed with useful information as you make your house selling choices.
Do Your Research And Trust Your Gut
Before you decide to go with an investor offering cash for your property, be sure to investigate their reputation carefully. Consider asking for references from the investor. Talk to people the investor has worked with in the past to determine whether they are the right fit for you.
