Homes listed with realtors have been selling in 9-14 days from what we've seen, while many Comfree houses from a month ago are still listed. It's possible there may be issues with the home or sellers with excessive price expectations with the Comfree homes, while realtors may be pricing their homes more aggressively to get their commissions more quickly. We don't have a lot of COMFREE out here or even a lot of sale by owners of any sort. Does anyone have any insight or experience dealing with real estate deals using Comfree?
Either way I know I'll be needing a good local lawyer to help us with our transaction, and a home inspector. I'm thinking that if we go with a Comfree sale, these people would be even more important in the sale.
We bought our house that was listed with ComFree. Noticed the same thing, it was on the market longer than I thought it should have been. I think sometimes the seller not having any guidance hurts them. It did in our case.
That being said, we used an agent. There are too many things I just don't know about that it was the right call for us to have one.
