Let’s face it: every industry has its own dirty little secrets. Real estate is no exception. Whether you’re dealing with real estate agents, brokers, or large brokerage firms, there are common practices in this field that many homeowners don’t realize—until it’s too late. Today, I’m pulling back the curtain on a few of these secrets and showing you how working with me, Sandy Cantu, and my business, Sandy Buys Houses, can save you time, money, and headaches.
Secret #1: Your Property is Just a Number
Did you know that most real estate brokerage firms have monthly contests and competitive quotas for their agents? They measure success by the total volume of sales. For example, if an agent sells 10 properties at $350,000 each, that’s $3.5 million in volume. Your property isn’t a priority for them—it’s just another tally mark to help them hit their numbers.
At Sandy Buys Houses, I don’t work for a brokerage firm. I work for YOU. You’re not just a number to me. My goal is to provide solutions that work for your unique situation. Whether you’re facing financial hardship, foreclosure, or probate, I’ll treat your property and your needs with the care and attention you deserve.
Secret #2: Agents Tell You What You Want to Hear
Here’s a classic tactic: A real estate agent asks what price you want for your house, and no matter how unrealistic it might be, they say, “Sure, I can do that!” But what they’re really doing is setting you up for disappointment.
Once your house is listed and sits on the market for a couple of months without offers, they’ll suggest you lower the price. If it still doesn’t sell, they’ll repeat the process until you’re frustrated, stressed, and desperate. This bait-and-switch tactic is all too common in the industry.
With Sandy Buys Houses, I’ll tell you the truth upfront. What is your house really worth? Does it need upgrades? Is Zillow giving you an inflated idea of its value? I’ll give you an honest, realistic evaluation so you can make informed decisions. No games, no false promises—just straightforward guidance.
Secret #3: The Fine Print on the MLS Listing Contract
Signing an MLS (Multiple Listing Service) contract with a real estate agent often means locking yourself into a lengthy agreement. Even if you’re unhappy with their performance, you’re stuck until the contract expires. Meanwhile, your property’s “Days on Market” counter keeps climbing, which can make buyers think something is wrong with it.
When you work with me, there are no contracts, no listing fees, and no waiting. I specialize in buying homes quickly for cash, no matter the condition. This means you can avoid the drawn-out process of listing, showings, and negotiations. My goal is to make the selling process as smooth and stress-free as possible for you.
