Selling Your Home to a Developer: Pros & Cons

Selling Your Home to a Developer: Pros & Cons

With the MBTA Communities Act opening up new zoning, many homeowners in Needham and Lexington are being approached by developers. Is it the right move for you?

The Benefits

• No Staging or Repairs: They buy 'As-Is.'
• Cash Offers: Quick closings with no financing contingencies.
• Flexible Move-Out: Often, developers will allow 'rent-back' periods while you find your next home.

The Risks

• Price: You might leave money on the table if you don't test the open market.
• Neighborhood Impact: Consider what will be built in your home's place.
