Have you been thinking about selling your own house? Many people have been trying to sell their house directly and the main reasons to sell your house directly is that you want to save money. Selling a house by owner is not easy and it can be costly. According to the National Association of Realtors 2021 Report only 8% of sellers sold their house directly.
If you want to sell your house fast you will need to deal with lots of paperwork, negotiations, and especially with getting your house “show ready” for potential buyers and then making repairs to meet inspection’s requirements necessary for the buyer to be able to get their mortgage approved. Recently, we all have read or watched the news about the cost of the supply materials to fix a house. Lumber prices have been up 288% recently. So if you have considered selling your house directly more then likely you will be facing the shock of the repair costs price nowadays, even if you are a handyman. Selling on your own or with a licensed real estate agent entails much of the same process. While you’ll potentially save thousands in commissions by making the repairs yourself, you’ll invest more time handling everything that your agent would have, from the time a sign is up in the yard and listed on the internet through to closing day.
Having your house picture ready is essential, since most of the buyers check up the pictures on line to decide if they will check out the property and then drive around checking if the house has curb appeal. You need to trim and clean up the front of the house, paint or clean doors and windows, declutter the inside, give it a deep cleaning, and probably update at least kitchen and the bathrooms. That means a lot of work, time, and stress!!! How much time are you willing to spend on selling your house on your own?
There is another option to sell your house at fa fair price. Wouldn’t you like to skip all the headaches and expenses of repairs, along with the added pressures of constantly cleaning and rescheduling your family life around showings and open houses?

Read on to learn more about how selling your McAllen house directly to a professional buyer will save you thousands in repair costs.
How much will I pay for repairs?
As mentioned previously, lumber is super expensive right now, same situation with other home improvement products such as drywall and even roofing and siding. Demand for lumber and other supplies has increased because more buyers seek the advantages of having a home of their own and during the pandemia many producers hold the production lines. Many homeowners have chosen to invest in their homes, making repairs they have been putting off and upgrades for home offices, schooling, and more family-based activities. This increase in demand has caused building materials and supply chains to lag in production and adding to the costs that consumers are absorbing. When you contact a professional for an estimate on repairs because of the fluctuations in supply costs, you shouldn’t be surprised when you see a time limit to hold the estimate. This lag time in materials will eat away at your profits in holding costs as you continue to pay the mortgage and all of the other monthly expenditures as the project lingers on. When you sell directly, you can stop stressing because you don’t need to worry about upgrades or repairs, and professional buyers will buy your home as-is, meaning the cost of materials is no longer your problem. It is easy to see why selling your McAllen house directly to a professional buyer like those at Dolfin RGV in McAllen, Hidalgo and other cities in Hidalgo County will save you from paying for any repair costs, which can quickly add up to tens of thousands of dollars.
No surprises
Repair costs can vary, and this is why experts recommend adding 10 percent to the estimated repair budget. At Dolfin RGV during our many years in the real estate business, we have discovered surprises when during renovations that could not be detected up-front, being it termites damage, additions that don’t meet standards, broken pipes, you name it. These discoveries are all too often very serious, such as the ones dealing with the foundation of a building or hidden leaks. Depending on your financial situation, even when you’ve gone to the expense of hiring a professional to inspect your home and contacted at least three pros for repair estimates, surprises are an inevitable part of the fixing process, especially dealing with older properties. If you are trying to sell an older home, you may receive really low offers from buyers who will be expecting an unrealistic discount to buy your problems and do the work, negotiating with you to lower your asking price with an inflated estimate for the repairs.
