Selling a Home to an iBuyer – The True Cost of Convenience

It sounds so easy. Just click, click and sell, right?

Have you ever heard that saying, “if it’s too good to be true, it probably is”?

These two photos are actual examples comparing Team EvoAZ at eXp Realty to an iBuyer company.

This transaction was complete in 65 days from start to finish. During that entire time, the seller received advice, support and service by our highly responsive, experienced team. This was also during the end of 2019 / beginning of 2020 which was the holiday season when real estate sales tend to slow down.

This is the actual offer that was received from the iBuyer company. ?

Here is another great example. This is also an actual example from a real transaction. This home was under contract within a week and was complete in 43 days, start to finish. We listed at the end of November and closed at the beginning of January so it was also during the “slower” holiday time of year.

Moral of the story? Do your homework. Ask questions. Talk with trusted professionals that you know have been trusted professionals for many years and will be around for many more. Don’t assume. The cost of “convenience” in both of these examples could be a new car, a college education, a large downpayment on the next house, retirement, etc.

As always, call Katie with all of your real estate questions and needs.

Central Phoenix, AZ Area Info – Everything you need to know!

Welcome to Central Phoenix.

As defined by the boundaries, Central City Village has an area of roughly 10 square miles. This includes not only Downtown, but the close vicinity and the Sky Harbor area directly east. The village is bounded by McDowell Road and the Grand Canal to the north and northeast, the border with Tempe to the east, the Salt River to the south, and 19th Avenue/I-17 to the west.

Because of its location at the historic center of Phoenix, there are many old homes and buildings located in the Central City Village that convey the history of Phoenix. Downtown, which includes the larger commercial and government buildings, as well as sports venues such as Talking Stick Resort Arena and Chase Field, is the core of the village and the city of Phoenix. Because of this, Center City village is almost unique, in that it has a much more urban environment than the other, more suburban, villages of Phoenix. The village also includes Sky Harbor International Airport, the busiest airport in Arizona and among the busiest in the nation, which provides domestic air travel, as well as international travel.
