Should You Sell to a “We Buy Houses” Company in Somerton?

Far Northeast homeowners get a steady stream of cash offer mail, texts and calls. The offers promise speed, no repairs and no showings. Those are real benefits, and they come at a price, because the buyer has to leave room to fix the home, hold it and sell it again at a profit.

For some sellers that is the right call. For a well kept Somerton home the math is different, because half of recent Somerton sales went under contract within 7 days at an average of 98.8% of list.

Before you sign anything, get a market value on the same home from us. Seeing the two numbers side by side is the only way to know what speed and convenience are costing you, and we will help you weigh them either way.

How We Sell a Somerton Home

Pricing comes first. A four bedroom split level on Sanford, a three bedroom twin on Tomlinson Road and a condo on Byberry Road sell to different buyers. We price against recent Somerton sales of your home type and bedroom count.

Next, we prepare for buyers who are also touring Bucks County. Most Somerton homes date to the early 1960s, so we focus on the updates buyers notice first, then professional photos and a launch date picked for when buyers are touring.

Josh and Jenn McKnight personally run sales, with the help of our agents and in-house transaction staff. You will know who is on your file from day one.
