How Is Local Key, LLC Different From Large iBuyers, Traditional Real Estate Investors or Wholesalers?
iBuyers
iBuyers are large corporations typically backed by Wall Street money that buy many houses in larger metro areas throughout the country – you have probably heard or seen their commercials on radio and television. An iBuyer will typically offer a starting purchase price for your property that is based on a computer generated algorithm. However, the iBuyer model will then reduce the amount of money you get to keep by charging a sizeable service fee and asking for credits based on the repairs your property needs once their inspections are completed. Real estate is always local and iBuyers have had a difficult time buying properties from hundreds or thousands of miles away. For this reason, many iBuyers have stopped their house buying programs and now focus on other business areas.
Traditional Real Estate Investors
Many traditional real estate investors will put your home under contract at an agreed upon price and will then try to negotiate further after their inspections are completed. A lot of sellers agree to reduce the price further since they are “under contract already” and do not want the headache of trying to find a new buyer for their home.
Wholesalers
Another investor type in the house buying industry is known as a “wholesaler”. Wholesale companies will typically put a contract on your home and sell/assign the contract to another investor for a fee. This approach is complex, takes time to complete and the sale is not guaranteed. Wholeselalers structure contracts that allow them to cancel or renegotiate the contract with no penalty to them in case an end-buyer is difficult to find. Always ask the investor you’re speaking with if they’re an end-buyer or a wholesaler who is going to assign the contract to another investor.
How Local Key, LLC is Different
Local Key takes a different approach! Once you contact us about selling your home, we will make an appointment with you to visit the property in order to determine a fair offer price. We will not charge you service fees or try to negotiate our offer price down after our inspection. This gives you peace of mind that the purchase price we offer is the price we will pay at closing.
We are not a huge bureaucratic company that is hard to work with due to corporate policies/politics. Being a local and family-owned small business allows us the flexibility to make selling your property an easy process for you.
Unlike wholesalers, we buy and take title to all of the properties we put under contract. This means we can typically give you a higher net offer than most wholesalers will. We work with reputable Georgia real-estate attorneys to close the transaction on the date you choose ensuring you get paid quickly. This makes it an easy, fast and hassle free process for you!
