Selling your home in Atlanta might seem straightforward, but the truth is: most homeowners walk into the process with false assumptions that can cost them time, money, and peace of mind.
Whether you’re planning to sell soon or just considering your options, it’s critical to understand the real challenges behind traditional home sales. In this article, we’ll break down six costly misconceptions many sellers fall for—and how working directly with Speedrun Solutions LLC could save you thousands of dollars and months of unnecessary stress.
⚠️ Misconception #1: “I Need to Fix Everything Before I Sell”
Reality: You might never see a return on those costly repairs.
Many homeowners think they need to invest in repairs, upgrades, or renovations before putting their home on the market. But here’s the truth: most buyers today are picky, and even after spending $10,000–$30,000 on repairs, there’s no guarantee your home will sell quickly—or for enough to cover the costs.
✅ The Speedrun Solutions LLC solution:
We buy houses as-is—meaning you don’t have to spend a dime fixing leaky roofs, outdated kitchens, or peeling paint. We’ll handle all of it after you’ve been paid and walked away. Whether your house needs minor repairs or is borderline unlivable, we’ll make a fair cash offer and close fast.
💸 Misconception #2: “I’ll Make More Money With a Real Estate Agent”
Reality: Most sellers lose a huge chunk of profit to commissions and fees.
It’s true that listing with an agent might get you a higher offer—but that doesn’t mean you’ll walk away with more cash. Here’s why:
- Agent commissions often eat up 5–6% of the sale price
- You’ll likely pay another 1–3% in closing costs
- And you’ll probably spend thousands more on repairs, cleaning, staging, and holding costs
Example: Sell for $350,000 with a traditional agent and you could easily lose over $25,000 just in fees and prep work.
✅ The Speedrun Solutions LLC solution:
We skip the middleman. You sell directly to us, without agent fees, closing costs, or prep expenses. The price we offer is the amount you take home. No surprises.
⏳ Misconception #3: “Selling Takes Months—It’s Just the Way It Is”
Reality: You could still be waiting six months from now—and that’s if nothing falls through.
Traditional home sales are full of delays:
- Appraisals
- Home inspections
- Buyer financing approvals
- Price negotiations
- Contingency fallouts
And even after all that, the deal might fall apart the day before closing.
✅ The Speedrun Solutions LLC solution:
We buy fast. If you need to move urgently, settle an estate, or stop foreclosure, we can close in as little as 7 days. No banks. No appraisals. Just a simple, fast process that gives you peace of mind.
🛋️ Misconception #4: “I Have to Stage and Clean Everything Before Selling”
Reality: Staging can cost thousands, and keeping your home spotless for showings is exhausting.
Most traditional agents recommend hiring a stager (typically $1,000–$3,000) to make your home “market ready.” That means:
- Renting furniture
- Deep cleaning the home
- Paying for photography
- Keeping the property spotless for weeks
For families still living in the home—or absentee owners—this becomes an overwhelming task.
✅ The Speedrun Solutions LLC solution:
We don’t need your home to be clean, staged, or picture-perfect. We don’t even need you to clean out junk or furniture. Leave behind whatever you don’t want—we’ll take care of it.
📢 Misconception #5: “I Have to Pay for Marketing to Attract Buyers”
Reality: You’ll spend money marketing—and still have no guarantee of a sale.
Listing your home on the MLS doesn’t automatically bring in offers. Many homeowners spend money on:
- Boosted Facebook ads
- Zillow upgrades
- 3D virtual tours
- Custom signage
- Paid professional photographers
Even then, the home could sit on the market for weeks or months.
✅ The Speedrun Solutions LLC solution:
No ads. No listing. No waiting. Just a direct cash offer from a serious, local buyer. Skip the marketing, the endless showings, and the stress of keeping your home “ready to sell.”
🤝 Misconception #6: “I’ll Just Negotiate With Buyers Myself”
Reality: Negotiations are stressful, emotional, and can quickly fall apart.
Whether you’re dealing with bargain-hunters, lowballers, or buyers who keep asking for more concessions, negotiating your own sale can leave you drained and disappointed. And if you’re working through an agent, you’re still stuck going back and forth—often for weeks—with no guarantees.
✅ The Speedrun Solutions LLC solution:
There are no negotiations required. We make a fair, no-obligation cash offer up front. Accept it, and we’ll handle the rest. No back-and-forth. No last-minute surprises.
