Real estate agents list properties and wait for potential buyers to show interest, a process that can take anywhere from 3 to 12 months. If a buyer is found, the agent takes a commission, typically 3-6% of the sale price. For example, on a $100,000 house, the commission would be $3,000 to $6,000. This can be a good option for those who are willing to wait several months to sell and don’t mind paying a portion of their sale price in commissions.
However, we’re different. We’re not agents—we’re direct home buyers. At Capitol Buys Houses, we buy houses outright with cash. This means we can decide to purchase your house within a few days, sometimes even the same day. We make our living by using our cash to buy homes, handle any repairs, and market the property ourselves. This approach eliminates the waiting and uncertainty, allowing you to sell your house quickly without the usual fees and commissions.
