When you need to sell your home quickly—whether due to an inheritance, divorce, or because the property needs extensive work—you might look into selling to a cash buyer. The promise of a fast, clean closing can be very appealing, but it is important to know that not all “cash buyers” are the same.
We want to expose the critical difference between wholesalers and real cash buyers so you can protect yourself from getting burned in the Michigan real estate market.
The Danger of Wholesalers
A wholesaler is someone who does not actually intend to buy your home. Their strategy carries significant risk for the seller:
Contract First, Buyer Later: A wholesaler gets your house under contract, typically with a 30 to 60-day closing window.
Flipping the Contract: They then “shop it around” to a list of their investors, attempting to assign the contract to another investor for a profit. They are flipping the contract, not the house.
The Risk to You: If they cannot find a buyer in time, they can walk away from the deal. Or, they may try to renegotiate and “beat you up on the price” at the very last minute. This leaves you stuck, your house having been off the market, and the deal collapsing.
The Confidence of a Real Cash Buyer
Areal cash buyer provides the clarity, sp eed, and confidence you need that the deal will actually close.
A real cash buyer has the following characteristics:
They have the funds available right now to purchase your home.
They do not need to assign your contract.
They do not need an inspection period.
They do not backpedal or drop their offer right before closing.
They make an offer and close in less than 14 days.
They do all this with proof of funds in hand.
The last thing you need when trying to sell quickly is someone “stringing you along”. Working with a real cash buyer means you are working with someone who is genuinely ready to purchase, not someone looking to make a quick buck by playing games with your contract.
