5 Things You Should Know About Selling Your Multi-Family Property To a Tacoma Investor

There are many reasons why you would want to sell your property, and you have different options for selling. You could use a traditional real estate agent, you could try to sell your property by owner, or you could selling your property to a Tacoma investor.

Professional property buyers in Tacoma, WA typically close faster than traditional multi-family buyers, and usually pay full in cash. Traditional multi-family property purchases usually require qualifications from banks, mortgage underwriting time, property inspection time and the buyer may not end up qualifying in the end.

There are also normally no commissions paid to a buyer’s or seller’s agent which means thousands of dollars in savings. The usual commission is 3% per side, so if you sell your property for $200,000, you would have to pay $12,000 in commissions alone! Professional multi-family property buyers also may not charge transaction fees; if they do, they are extremely low in comparison to the commission or closing costs you would have to pay otherwise. They also provide mail-away closings which is a wonderful thing for out of state owners.

Professional property buyers in WA will usually purchase real estate as-is. As a seller, this means you do not have to worry about repairs before closing or any other additional expenses you were not planning on. There are some companies that do not require inspections which makes it a truly as-is transaction.

Professional multi-family property buyers are in it for the investment. They are not expecting to move into the property on the day of closing. Most multi-family property buyers will allow a move-out timeframe after closing to allow your tenants to relocate at their own pace. This is extremely helpful, especially with such quick closing timeframes. Also, you may not even have to clean the multi-family property when you leave. Your tenants can simply pack their personal items and furniture they want to keep and leave the rest.

You don’t have to worry about possibly running into a buyer’s agent or their clients or dealing with them asking you questions that you really shouldn’t answer anyway. You also don’t have to worry about buyers arguing with you over which furniture your tenants are taking and what they are leaving.

Selling to a professional multi-family property buyer is extremely straight forward.
