When you’re considering selling your house to a homebuyer, you need to make sure they are credible. A lot of people out there call themselves wholesalers, will get your property under contract, pretend like they’re going to buy your house, and just try selling the purchase contract to another investor. Then, when they get the offer wrong and don’t find any buyers, they back out and leave you holding the bag. Here are three things you can do to make sure you’re working with a reputable Wilmington NC homebuyer.

Reviews

For one thing, you’re going to want to look at their reviews. There are a lot of places where reviews are posted, so don’t just stick with Google. Also check out Facebook, Yelp, and any other industry-specific sites like Biggerpockets.com (a real estate investing social media site). Read these reviews carefully and make sure that the spelling is correct and their English is understandable. A lot of companies will hire people from other countries to write reviews, and it’s pretty easy to see which ones do. Also, make sure the reviews that you’re reading relate to your situation. If you’re in foreclosure or have to move away for a job, look for reviews that relate to that unique situation. Doing this will assure you that you’re working with a Wilmington NC home buyer that is qualified and can help you.

Testimonials

While testimonials are important in general, the key to knowing you’re working with someone reputable is by watching their video testimonials. What do I mean by video testimonials? I mean videos where clients get in front of the camera and talk about their situation and how the homebuyer helped them out of it. If a home buyer can get someone to agree to step in front of a camera for them, they’re definitely reputable. Watch the reviews, especially the ones that relate to your situation, and take note of the client’s situation and how the homebuyer helped them through the process. Education is also key, so listen and try to understand how the homebuyer educated the client throughout the process.

Client Education

As I just noted, education is key. Solid homebuyers will educate you not only on the process but also on the market and the market value of your home if it was in great condition. A lot of times these manifest as videos on YouTube, Instagram, TikTok, and any other form of social media. Before deciding to work with a homebuyer, follow them on one of these platforms and watch some of their videos as they come out. I said “as they come out” because you always want to make sure that they are producing relevant and up-to-date content. The more content the better, but try not to get overwhelmed. Reputable Wilmington NC homebuyers (also known as “we buy houses” people) will produce new content every time a new question is asked by a client or every time they run into a situation they have not encountered before.

Take these three steps when you’re looking to sell to a homebuyer when you’re selling your house in Wilmington and see. The subtle nuances make all the difference, so make sure that you’re working with someone who is credible and will be able to help you in your unique situation.
