Dear Monty: We have outgrown our first home. I searched for “the best way to sell my house” online. The responses were so different that I realized how little I knew.
The best way isn’t evident to me. They all sounded good. Here is what each ad stated:
- “We buy for cash,” and said they pay market value and that we can avoid the hassle of selling.
- Realtor.com said, “Save thousands in commission fees; in California, people save an average of $1,881 when they sell their home with a Realtor.com agent.”
- Webuyhouse.com said: “We'll Beat Any Serious Offer—Pay Zero Fees or Commissions.”
- “The fastest way to sell your home is to list the home on MLS. The open market gives you maximum exposure, and that exposure can bring you numerous buyers and multiple offers. You close on your terms, regardless of whether you sell fast or wait for better offers.” There was no contact information.
