Selling To Sell My Maine House Fast vs. Listing With A Local Maine Agent
Even in a seller’s market like Maine, it’s smart to look at your options and see what will actually help you reach your goals most effectively with the sale of your house. While you may be able to get a higher “top line” sales price listing with a local agent, that doesn’t always result in more money in your pocket or less headache. Dive into the details below to compare your options.

Work The Numbers And See Which Way Helps You Get There…
When you really understand the fees and commissions that comes with listing your property and understand what you are getting or not getting in exchange for those fees, you start to see the real benefits that each way of selling your Maine house offers.
Yes, here at Sell My Maine House Fast we won’t be able to offer you full retail value for your house… but we also offer other benefits that the traditional on-market home sale route can’t offer.

From offer to close and cash in your hand in as little as 10 days
You can quickly get rid of the headache of that property and avoid paying any more utility payments (especially those crazy high heating fuel payments during the Maine winters), tax payments, insurance payments, mortgage payments, you get the idea. If you list your house and wait 90+ days to close, 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 close.
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 annoying closing fees (we’ve got you covered)
Because we are a full-service professional home buyer here in Maine, 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 mortgage payoff or other encumbrances on the property). Pretty refreshing, eh?

If you can’t come to an agreement with the buyer, the buyer has the right to back out of the sale. Similar, a financing contingency gives the buyer the wiggle room to back out of the purchase if they can’t obtain a loan or if the home doesn’t appraise for the value that the bank needs to close the loan.
Here at Sell My Maine House Fast, we don’t use bank financing so you don’t have to worry about our ability to close on a deal.
