When faced with difficult circumstances, should you list your home with a real estate agent (retail market) or sell to Hartland Realty Group or any other investor?

Obviously, selling on the retail market with an agent will get a higher sales price, but it is highly questionable if it will get you a bigger check at the closing. You see, most sellers will have to make repairs to their home on their own dime of course, and this may take some time. There are also opportunities for issues when doing the work yourself or if you encounter a bad contractor. You could end up with more headaches and feel like you just jumped out of an airplane without a parachute. After the time and money to get a home in retail condition, there will typically be a good amount of time spent on the market and doing showings to perspective retail buyers.

Selling to a real estate investor is easier in that an investor will typically pay cash for properties and make all the necessary repairs to the home. This results in a much shorter time period to sell your home and a lot less headaches along the way. Below, is an assessment of some of the pros/cons…well, really just a comparison between the two options.
