Today, we are going to see some tips to sell your home in a few hours.

This is one of the consequences of the current crisis, longer sales times, many owners want to get rid of their property without waiting months and months. It should also be remembered that many French people no longer get their mortgage. So it's very complicated for buyers.

But for sellers, the solution is called: instant buy-resell!

What does this mean? In just a few days, your property is sold to a company, not to an individual attention. For example, Homeloop, a start-up that has existed for many years, its general manager, Vanessa Benedic, explains how it works: "The customer who wants to sell contacts us, an expert goes to the site to estimate it and in 48 hours we are able to provide him with a written proposal without any suspensive condition of obtaining a loan, without withdrawal period with cash payment. »

That is the summary process. In more detail, we answer some questions on the Homeloop website: where it is located, the number of m2, the date of construction, the condition of the housing. And the algorithms are doing their job. In the process, an expert comes and in only 48 hours, we get an offer to purchase.

It seems super simple, wouldn't it hide something all this?

We haven't spotted a scam if that's what you think. On the other hand, who says speed, says higher fees charged to the seller: "we have a cost of service, between 8 and 15%. A client who goes through an agency, will pay 400% agency fees without knowing when he will sell. In the meantime, it has condominium fees, property tax, financial fees. We see that it finally comes back the same. »

Every month, nearly 2,000 sellers contact the company. It doesn't work every time. But why so much haste on the part of sellers?

"We have customers who have not managed to sell their property, we have some who can not take out a bridge loan, and we have some who want to simplify their lives. We have buy two houses in the south of the France, by the sea, has clients who do not want to go through agencies, visits etc. They want to move on quickly. »

These days, this is the solution chosen by owners of thermal strainers, who do not want to do work to sell. Something that does not frighten the start-up that restores the goods to better resell them. It also means significant haircuts, sometimes going beyond 20%. The business model is based on the buy-resale rollover and of course added value with each transaction, simple and effective.
