If you have a bit more time and can wait for the right retail buyer to come along, and you can pay the 3-6% in real estate agent commissions on the sale… listing your local Salt Lake City Utah house with a real estate agent is a great option.

A real estate agent is one option for getting your property across to cash house buyers… It is possible to sell your house quickly for cash through a real estate agent.

However, this begins by finding the right agent. Start by asking at least five local Salt Lake City agents to assess your home and show you some comparable homes that they have recently sold for cash. The agent you settle for should list your home in as many property websites as possible in order to broaden the market reach and of course put it on the local Salt Lake City area MLS (multiple listing service).

It is also important that they advertise your home in the local publications buyers tend to look at (newspapers, etc.). To help speed up the process, consider offering the agent an attractive incentive if they manage to sell the house within a specified time frame. With this option you will of course pay the real estate agent commissions… so be prepared to figure that into your overall costs.
