Why Sell To a Local Homebuyer?

Why Sell To A Local Homebuyer? | Sell My San Antonio House
Speaker 1:
There are some distinct benefits of choosing to sell to a local home buyer. Let’s look at if your choices are selling to a local home buyer as opposed to selling to some big company, someone from out-of-state, or someone who just calls you over the phone.

Number one is if they’re not local, they don’t know your local market. They can say they looked online; they don’t work in your local market, they don’t know the people of your local market. And especially, we’re here in San Antonio, Texas, but if you know anything about it or if you’re from San Antonio, the different neighborhoods, it means a lot. It’s not just a spot on the map. That can change the values, that can change the time to resale. That local knowledge from a home buyer is a huge difference between the local home buyer and somebody that may be a more national company or just some random person from out-of-state.

Second, we’ll actually come look at the property. We’re not just, again, circling something on the map, doing some research on a computer, hoping you send a few pictures. These are big purchases. They’re big expenses, they’re big sales for the homeowner. You want somebody who’ll actually come look at it, see what’s really going on with that property, what really needs to be done, and all the little things that are going to make that property different. If you choose somebody who just throws a number out over the phone or online, it’s much more likely that they’re going to come out later and say, “Oh, well, we didn’t know about this.” Because they never bothered to even come out and meet you and look at the property in the first place.

Not only will a local home buyer actually come look at the property, but we can actually come out and meet with you in person so you can explain your personal situation, because everybody’s situation is at least a little bit different. We’ll hear what your needs are, what your goals are, and make sure that we set up a plan to do the best we can to help you with your particular situation.

Also, the people that we work with are local as well, so our title company, our attorneys. If you choose to have us purchase your house, you can actually talk to them. You can go meet with them. You can go sign in person. You know who you’re dealing with. You know that they’re here in your local market and it’s not some sort of scam where you’re sending things across the country in order to try and get a deal done.

And finally, we actually care. A local home buyer actually will care. We live here, we work here. We’ve been here for years. We have a great reputation. Some national company does not care if they follow through on their promises. They don’t care if they buy it or not. They don’t care how that impacts you. And that same goes true for these random companies that call you from out-of-state with all kinds of promises. They do not care what happens. We do. I would strongly encourage you to choose a local home buyer when you’re looking to sell your property.

There are some distinct benefits of choosing to sell to a local home buyer. Let’s look at why you should consider selling to a local home buyer instead of a big company, someone from out-of-state, or someone who just calls you over the phone.

Local Market Expertise

Number one is local market knowledge. If they’re not local, they don’t know your local market. A cash home buyer in Alberta, Canada probably knows their local market very well, but they don’t know anything about San Antonio. They can say they looked online, but they don’t work in your local market and don’t know the people of your local market. Especially here in San Antonio, Texas, the different neighborhoods mean a lot. It’s not just a spot on the map. Local knowledge can change the values and the time to resale. That insight from a home buyer makes a huge difference compared to a national company or an out-of-state buyer.

Second, we’ll actually come look at the property. We’re not just circling something on the map, doing some research on a computer, or hoping you send a few pictures. These are big purchases and sales for the homeowner. You want somebody who will actually come look at it, see what’s really going on with the property, what needs to be done, and all the little things that make that property different. If you choose someone who just throws a number out over the phone or online, it’s much more likely they’ll come out later and say, “Oh, we didn’t know about this.” They never bothered to come out and meet you and look at the property in the first place.

We’ll hear what your needs are, what your goals are, and make sure we set up a plan to help you with your particular situation.

The people we work with are local as well—our title company and our attorneys. If you choose to have us purchase your house, you can talk to them, meet with them, and sign in person. You know who you’re dealing with, and you know they’re in your local market. It’s not some sort of scam where you’re sending things across the country to get a deal done.

Genuine Care and Commitment

If you need more reasons, we actually care. A local home buyer will care. We live here, we work here, and we’ve been here for years. We have a great reputation. A national company doesn’t care if they follow through on their promises. They don’t care if they buy it or not. They don’t care how it impacts you. The same goes for random companies that call you from out-of-state with all kinds of promises. They don’t care what happens. We do. I strongly encourage you to choose a local home buyer when you’re looking to sell your property.
