Selling your house can feel overwhelming when you consider the time, effort, and costs associated with listing on the MLS. However, when you choose to sell your house with Heartland Funding, you avoid many of these costs. From commissions and professional fees to repairs, there are several expenses that you won’t have to worry about. In this article, we will explore three key things you won’t have to pay for when selling your house with Heartland Funding Inc.
Commissions
When you sell your house with Heartland Funding Inc., one major expense you won’t have to pay is real estate commissions. Typically, real estate agents charge a percentage of the sale price—usually around 5-6%—which can add up to thousands of dollars, depending on your home’s value. For instance, on a $300,000 home, you could be paying $15,000 or more in commissions alone. But when you work with Heartland Funding Inc., there are no agent commissions, which means all that money stays in your pocket. There are no hidden broker fees or surprise costs in our transparent contracts, so what we offer is what you’ll receive at closing.
Professional Fees
You won’t have to pay any professional fees when you sell your house with Heartland Funding Inc. Selling a house on the traditional market often involves a range of fees, from closing costs—which typically run 2-5% of the sale price—to hiring professionals such as photographers, stagers, and inspectors. A professional real estate photographer alone can cost anywhere from $150 to $500, while staging a home can add up to $2,000 or more, depending on the size of the property. These costs can quickly accumulate and eat into your profits. However, when you work with a direct buyer from Heartland Funding Inc., you avoid all of these fees. There’s no need to worry about appraisals (which can cost up to $600), inspections, or any other professional services.
Repairs
When you sell your house with Heartland Funding Inc., you won’t have to pay for any repairs. Many traditional home buyers expect the seller to make costly repairs or renovations to bring the property up to modern standards, which can include fixing structural issues, updating outdated systems like plumbing or electrical, or improving the overall curb appeal. This process can be not only expensive but also time-consuming, often delaying the sale of your home by weeks or even months. However, at Heartland Funding Inc., we buy houses in as-is condition. Whether your property has minor issues, needs major structural repairs, or has been neglected for years, we are ready to make you an offer.
