You’ve probably seen the ads: “Get a cash offer in 24 hours!” Companies like Opendoor and Offerpad promise a quick, hassle-free sale. But are they the right choice in Bastrop?
Let’s break down the pros, cons, and alternatives.
What is an iBuyer?
iBuyers use data algorithms to make quick, cash offers on homes—often sight unseen.
They:
- Skip showings
- Close fast
- Charge service fees (usually 5–10%)
Pros of Selling to an iBuyer in Bastrop
✅ Fast closing
✅ No showings or open houses
✅ Certainty and simplicity
Useful for:
- Job relocations
- Inherited homes
- Homes needing repairs
Cons of Selling to an iBuyer
❌ Lower net proceeds
❌ Fees and repair credits can add up
❌ Not all Bastrop homes qualify (e.g., rural, custom, or older homes)
Example:
A $375,000 Bastrop home may get a $340K cash offer after deductions and fees. You may net more selling on the open market—even after paying a Realtor.
Final Thoughts
iBuyers are convenient—but not always profitable. If speed is your top priority, they might make sense. But if you want top dollar, a local listing strategy usually wins.
💬 Let’s compare your iBuyer offer to what your home could get on the open market—no pressure, just data.
