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 port-elizabeth house offers.
Here at Louw Lochner Properties we can work with you to determine which approach is best for your goals. We can either make you an immediate cash offer, or we can put our experience and expertise to work and list your house on the market for the best price.
If selling to us for cash, we won’t be able to offer you full retail value for your house… but we also offer other benefits that the traditional house sale route can’t offer.
Like…
From inspection to offer in as little as 72 hours
You can get rid of the headache of that property fast and avoid paying any more utility payments, tax payments, insurance payments, bond payments, you get the drill. If you list your house and wait 120+ days to transfer… you have to figure in all of the costs of holding that property during the time you have that property listed and are waiting for the property to transfer.
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’d like to make an offer on your house. This saves you time and money that you can keep in your pocket.
Don’t worry about paying those pesky closing fees (we’ve got you covered)
Because we are a full-service professional home buyer here in port-elizabeth, 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 bond payoff or other encumbrances on the property). Pretty refreshing eh?
So when you add up the time you could save by working with Louw Lochner Properties, the no-hassle experience, and the money you’ll save on commissions, fees, and holding costs while you wait to sell the traditional route… for many area homeowners selling to a professional house buyer is the best viable option. And if its not, we have you covered there as well!
