Sell Your House To Chesapeake House Hunters vs. Listing With A Local DC Agent
Even in a seller’s market, it’s smart to look at your options and see what will actually help you best reach your goals with the sale of your Washington house. While you may be able to get a higher “top line” sales price listing with a local Washington agent, that doesn’t always boil down to more money in your pocket or less headache. Dive into the details below to compare selling to Chesapeake House Hunters vs the traditional way.

Listing with an agent works great if you have a property in perfect condition and can afford to wait for the right buyer. The Washington housing market is hot and pretty houses are selling fast on the market. However, we can help you avoid the hassles of a traditional sale. Traditional buyers may have their financing fall through, having dozens of people walk through your house in an open house, worrying about inspections, all can add stress and months to the process. When you take the agent’s fees and items the buyer is requesing you fix into account, the actual amount you get in your pocket is almost never the price you’re selling for.
What’s the solution to skip the uncertainty and lengthy process? Sell directly to Chesapeake House Hunters – we buy houses directly from homeowners. Sell your house fast without the hassle of waiting for buyers or the cost of commissions.
1) Sell as-is & We’ll clean the house – You don’t need to clean up and repair the property what you don’t want to make. We’ll do the repairs for you.
2) No commissions (and we’ll pay closing costs!) – We don’t charge commissions. Our profit comes from fixing up your house and going through the hassles ourselves to sell it.
3) Fully confidential and private – Avoid having to share your information with the world on the MLS, with agents and dozens of buyers. Our process is fully private and discreet.

*An inspection contingency lets the buyer have time to do an inspection and back out of the sale or negotiate a new price if there are repairs that need to be done. If you can’t come to an agreement with the buyer, the buyer has the right to back out of the sale. Similar, a financing contingency gives the buyer the wiggle room to back out of the purchase if they can’t obtain a loan or if the home doesn’t appraise for the value that the bank needs to close the loan.
Here at Chesapeake House Hunters, we don’t use bank financing so you don’t have to worry about our ability to close on a deal.
