Sell Your Lubbock house easily
Think about this.
When you hire an agent, here’s what you’re signing up for:
- Clean out all the clutter (inside and out)
- Fix up the house and take care of landscaping

*An inspection contingency allows the buyer a period to conduct a property inspection and either renegotiate the price or withdraw from the purchase if significant repairs are uncovered. If both parties fail to reach an agreement regarding the repairs, the buyer can legally exit the deal. Similarly, a financing contingency provides the buyer with flexibility to cancel the transaction if they are unable to secure financing or if the property’s appraisal comes in lower than the amount required by the lender to approve the loan.
Here Electrum we don’t rely on bank financing so you can rest assured that we have the capability to close the deal without any delays.
