Why Sell to Us
It’s always important to consider other options when you’re making an important decision like selling your home. Another option is to list your property on the MLS with a real estate agent. The table below compares both options.
The same goes for selling your house to us. We’ll buy your property at a discount. Selling your property to GTG Buys Homes is like trading in a used car instead of selling it privately.
You get less when you trade in the car because there’s less hassle and you don’t have to worry about maintenance or cleanliness. Our offer price will be below retail value because we eliminate the stress of preparing your home for the retail market.
