There are many things to consider when deciding to sell your home. Once you have made the decision to sell, you face the next hurdle which is “what are my options for selling?” Selling your home is one of the most significant financial transactions of your lifetime. The method you use to sell can significantly affect your bottom line. Not every home is a good fit for the Kalamazoo and surrounding areas real estate market, and not every seller has the time, money, or interest in listing on the MLS. While it may not be your first consideration, for some homeowners, the benefits of a direct sale may outweigh those of a conventional listing. If you’ve decided to sell, read on as we explore four things to compare when deciding between a listing and a direct sale for your Kalamazoo and surrounding areas home.
