If you’ve been contacted by a builder offering to buy your home directly and you’re not sure where to go, then we’ve got an exciting new option for you.
To start, here’s a little insight into why your home is so desirable. You’re being contacted by a builder because they see it as a “tear down”— a valuable piece of property on which they can build a profitable, “new construction” home. They consider the following to determine the price:
Paying you directly in order to increase their profit margin
Weighing supply and demand in the real estate market and the status of their project inventory
If they are running low, they will offer more for a home. If they are at capacity or experiencing financing constraints, they could instead complicate the process by submitting a lower offer, less of a deposit, or setting a very long closing date.
For builders, it’s a fine balance between managing their business and offering you the right price for your home— issues you don’t have to worry about if you are working with Michael Niden.
How can I help move the process along in the manner most advantageous to you, saving you time, money and frustration?
First, with our program, I will step in and represent you as the seller/homeowner’s listing agent for a significantly discounted commission rate from what you would traditionally pay a broker. Their fees could be as high as 6% if you go the route of listing on MLS and selling through the standard process. We don’t have to rely on MLS to complete the sale. I can go directly to a builder. We have a list of plus builders who will receive your bid package.
Second, I will make the entire process seamless, managing all the steps of a real estate sale. You don’t have to worry about the details. You can sell your home “as is” without having to incur costly repairs and don’t have to stage it for endless open houses or showings. You can also decide whether to take your contents or leave them.
Transparency is critical. I believe in active communication which includes weekly status reports on the bidding and sale process featuring information such as the builder’s name, current bids, terms of bids and the next steps involved.
I am especially sensitive to the fact that there can be many “grey areas” in a broker/ builder relationship. But I operate ethically and consistently keep that boundary clear. It is important for you to know that I work for you as your listing agent and guarantee, in writing, that l will not represent the builder who purchases your home in any way.
