Why Homes in Need of Repair Sell for Less Through a Realtor:
Do you know about all of the fees that you pay a realtor to sell your damaged house? First, you have to pay the agent, which, depending on your house, is around 3%-6% of the sales price. That alone should might make you run away. On top of that, there are the closing costs of the home which is around 3% of the sale price. In the end, you would end up making around the same amount, if not more, if you had just sold it to a cash buyer. Our estimates show that homeowners can save an average of $6,000 – $10,000 in realtor fees alone when selling to us.
Should You Make The Repairs?
If you are like 90% of the rest of the 
world, you don’t know how to fix a damaged house. If you did, you wouldn’t want to sell a damaged house. You would be looking to sell your newly fixed house and you would sell it for a higher price.
If you do chose to fix your house you are looking at a pretty penny, depending on the damage or upgrades needed. That could cost you anywhere from $30,000 - $100,000. It is also extremely time consuming to hire contractors to do the repair work or to learn how to do them yourself. So, why would you put yourself through a headache with your damaged house?
During our twenty years of experience, we’ve found that it helps to ask yourself these two questions when considering whether to update your house or not:
1. Do you have the finances needed in order to fix up your home?
2. Do you have the time needed in order to fix up your home?
If you answered no to one or both of those questions then that is where we come in. Here at Enlight Homebuyers, we love to buy damaged houses. We can buy your house (in any condition) in as little as five days. Too soon? Okay, how about you pick the date, and we will have the cash ready for you.

"I was having a hard time maintaining my rental property. It was in rough shape and was losing money every month. Enlight helped me out so much. Selling my house was a totally painless process and I got a very generous price even for the condition. I strongly recommend Enlight Home Buyers if you are considering selling your property."
"This company did so much for me. They saved me from a huge disaster. All staff were so kind and caring and went way beyond what their job duties were. I would recommend this company to anybody in a bind or even just needing to sell their home quickly. Such wonderful people to work with. The process was painless as they did all the work. Thank you Enlight!!!"
"I accepted an out of state job offer and needed to move quickly. I contacted Enlight Homebuyers because of a post card I received from them advertising they bought homes. I had Enlight and a realtor both give me a run down of the money I would take home. Enlight was within $1000 of the realtor and I did not have to clean the house or haul away junk, or install or fix anything. That was worth a lot to me. They were easy to work with and I picked my closing date. It worked out very well and I would recommend anyone needing to sell a home fast to do the comparison and work with this company."
"We were looking for an easy way to get out of our house and facilitate a move to another state. We have a special needs child that makes keeping a house clean and/or leaving our house often for showings virtually impossible. After the initial consultation, several investors walked through our (cluttered and not tidy home). Within a couple of weeks we had an offer from Enlight that was about equal to what we would have cleared after paint, realtor fees, cleaning fees, etc. if we'd sold our home the traditional route. And we didn't have to deal with any of the hassle that goes into selling a home on the MLS. Very pleased with how things worked out."
