Then this blog post will answer the question, \u201cWould an investor buy my house in Kansas City for close to asking price?\u201d Keep reading to find out the answer\u2026<\/em>\n\nWhen it comes to selling your house, you have a couple of options:\n<ul>\n \t<li>You can sell it on the market by stating your asking price and then working with an agent to try and find a buyer (or trying to find a buyer yourself).<\/li>\n \t<li>You can skip the \u201csell-on-the-market\u201d process and just work with a buyer directly (like what we do here at Chris Buys Homes in Kansas City) who can offer you a price for your house.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\nIf you\u2019re wondering, \u201cWould an investor buy my house <strong>\u00a0in Kansas City for close to asking price?<\/strong>\u201d then here\u2019s what you need to know:\n<h3><strong>Why Investors Invest<\/strong><\/h3>\nAn investor invests in real estate because they hope to buy at a lower price and either sell at a higher price or rent out the property. Therefore, investors are motivated to find houses that are priced affordably for them to buy.\n\nBefore you set your asking price, think about what benefit an investor provides\u2026\n<h3><strong>Understanding The Asking Price<\/strong><\/h3>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft wp-image-376 size-thumbnail\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.carrot.com\/uploads\/sites\/1410\/2014\/08\/buying-real-estate-with-ira-2-150x150.png\" alt=\"would an investor buy my house for my asking price\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" \/>\n\nYour asking price is a starting point for the negotiation. Even if you sell to someone on the market (through the help of a real estate agent), your asking price will be the starting point and the buyer will usually try to negotiate a lower price.\n\nBut here\u2019s what most people don\u2019t realize: the asking price has other factors built in\u2026 for example, it assumes that you have fixed up and cleaned up your property so it\u2019s in pristine shape and ready for buyers. And, don\u2019t forget that you have to pay bills, insurance, and taxes on your property the whole time an agent tries to find a buyer (which can take months). And then you\u2019ll have to pay the agent a commission, which might be thousands of dollars.\n\nSo your asking price has all of these things \u201cbuilt into it\u201d.\n<h3><strong>An Investor Skips All This<\/strong><\/h3>\nWhen you work with an investor, you actually skip all of this. You don\u2019t have to fix up or clean up your house so you can save thousands of dollars there. And, you don\u2019t have to pay bills, taxes, and insurance for months while you wait for a buyer to be found, so you save thousands of dollars there. And, you don\u2019t have to pay a commission because no agent was used, so you save thousands of dollars there.\n\nAdd it all up: you save thousands of dollars by selling TO an investor instead of selling THROUGH an agent.\n<h3><strong>Summary<\/strong><\/h3>\nSelling to an investor allows you to sell faster and avoid all those expenses. That\u2019s why an investor might not be able to buy a house near your asking your price. However, the discount you might provide them is money you wouldn\u2019t see anyway while you wait months and \u201cgamble\u201d to sell your house on the open market.\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center\">Do you want to sell your house fast in Kansas City?<\/h2>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: center\">If you\u2019re looking to sell fast, get a fair all-cash offer from us.
