A typical real estate site? Not really. Instead, they offer to buy the house right away, leaving you to move on, and they then deal with the property afterwards.
Reading the testimonials, it’s obvious that they are filling a need – and since sellers are bypassing the real estate agent’s commission, there’s savings that allow buyer and seller some more wiggle room in the selling price.
Frankly, I’m not surprised a service like this is available. With the current volatile economy, liquidity is important. People need to move to other places for work, families are grouping together and sharing houses as everyone ages, and finances change. And many changes are quick – so being able to sell a house fast is a real need today.
However, I’m also noticing this company for another reason – they have an affiliate program, which means you can get the local leads they generate.
If you’ve been following any of those programs for real estate, they always involve trying to find good properties. With iBuyHouses.com that part of the search is over, as they provide you with the leads. For someone looking to make money with real estate, this means a real time savings.
This is a product whose time has come – and I’m looking forward to seeing how they progress and help everyone to sell house listings in these times with the current real estate market.
