- High Fees: You can expect 6% commission fees when working with traditional real estate agents, or much less when choosing our team at DUFFY Realty. In comparison, some of these websites (such as Opendoor) charge as much as 14% in fees. The costs add up!
- Cost of Repairs: After you have accepted the offer, the website team has the opportunity to inspect the property. If anything needs to be repaired, then the cost will be deducted from the sale price. Unfortunately, you don’t have the option to shop around for an affordable contractor, which means that you are likely over-paying for the repairs.
- Personalized Attention: Nothing beats the one-on-one service that comes from working with a real estate agent in person. Your home is one of the biggest investments you will make, which is why it is important to have an industry expert to help with negotiations and paperwork.
