Selling Directly To Revivalist Homes vs. Listing With A Local Agent

Even in a seller’s market, it’s smart to look at your options to see how you can best reach your goals with the sale of your South-Central Kentucky house. While you may be able to get a higher sales price listing with a local agent, that doesn’t always boil down to more money in your pocket or less headache. Dive into the details below to compare your selling options.

Closing Date:30-60+/- days after accepting buyer’s offerThe date of YOUR CHOICE.
Who Pays For Repairs?Negotiated during the inspection periodWe pay for all repairs.
*An 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. Similarly, a 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.

Here at Revivalist 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 Kentucky house offers.

At Revivalist Homes, we’re transparent that our solutions are not the best options for everyone’s situations and goals. Often, we encourage people who are looking to get full retail value for their home to work with a reputable real estate agent and list their house on the market.

However, everyone’s situation is unique and we saw the gap in our local community for all of the property owners who don’t want to (or can’t) sell the “traditional way”. That’s why we offer other benefits that the traditional house sale route doesn’t usually offer.

Such as 👇

💰From offer to close and cash in your hand in as little as 14 days.

You can get rid of the headache of that property fast and avoid paying one more utility payment, tax payment, insurance payment, mortgage payment… you get the drill. 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 it listed and are waiting for the property to close.

🛠 Don’t worry about fixing anything up or cleaning your house again and again for buyer after buyer.

We don’t care how dirty your house is (we’ve seen worse!) or how many repairs are needed (a complete fixer? great! we love projects). We want to make an offer on your house today. Let us save you time and put more money in your pocket.

No pesky closing fees. We’ve got you covered!

Because we are a full-service professional home buyer here in Kentucky, we make it easy for you. We pay for all of the closing costs. What we offer you is what you get (of course minus any mortgage payoff or other encumbrances on the property). Pretty refreshing, eh?

So when you add up the time you could save by working with Revivalist Homes, the no-hassle experience, and the money you’ll save on commissions, fees, and holding costs while you wait to sell the traditional route, it’s obvious why for so many homeowners in Kentucky selling to a professional house buyer is the best viable option.
