When people think of selling their home, usually 2 options come to mind; Selling their home by themselves and marketing it as a For Sale By Owner (FSBO), or hiring a professional licensed real estate agent to take on the task. One option many people do not consider is selling their home to a local real estate investor. Many people are not aware that there are local home buyers that purchase many homes each month in their local market. Not all real estate investors are out to get rich quick and take advantage of home owners in distress.
