What is an iBuyer and how can it benefit sellers in 2023

Wednesday, November 30, 2022

iBuyer Defined:

iBuyer stands for (Instant Buyer).  Anyone with a large bank account willing to put offers in cash to purchase a property could be considered an iBuyer. Any large investor, hedge fund, group of investors, company with reservers to purchase real estate or organization dedicated to purchase real estate is considered an iBuyer.

iBuyer companies are businesses that specialize in quick real estate buying. When you offer your property to them, they'll do a quick evaluation. Once it meets all their requirements, they bring a cash offer you can accept or reject.

As a contributor to real estate news sources our team has been watching these companies go in and out of business over the last 5 years.  They do serve a purpose and we believe that sellers and buyers can benefit from them.

So how do you choose which program to use?

"What if you didn't have to choose.  What if you could post your home address and all of the retail investors could see and bid on it and YOU CHOOSE based on the price and terms they are offering, who you want to go with to purchase your home. (just like reviewing multiple offers from local buyers on your home)."
