Local Investor vs Out-of-Town Buyer Which Is Better for Your Fixer?
Darren Brown explains the differences between selling to a local investor versus an out-of-state buyer if you have a fixer upper. He is a local investor and real estate broker right here in Sacramento. The presenter gives tips on how to decide which type of buyer is best for your situation if you are trying to sell your home.
Wondering whether to sell your fixer home to an out-of-state investor or a local Sacramento specialist? Today, I’ll explain the crucial differences that impact your bottom line and experience. I’m Darren Brown, a local investor, real estate broker, and proud veteran with over 30 years of experience right here in Sacramento.
Let me share how to identify whether your potential buyer is truly local or operating from outside our community. The simplest approach is to directly ask them—though checking their website footer for location information, reviewing their “About” page, and noting their phone number (888 numbers typically indicate non-local operations) can provide additional verification.
Out-of-state buyers typically operate high-volume businesses where you’re simply a transaction number. They often make attractive initial offers to secure your interest but have high fallout rates, frequently attempting to negotiate your price down after discovering property issues they missed due to unfamiliarity with our local market. In contrast, local Sacramento investors like ourselves provide personalized service because we actually live and work in this community.
We understand the unique challenges of properties in Florin, Natomas, Oak Park, Del Paso Heights, and other Sacramento neighborhoods with homes typically built in the 1950s and 1960s. Think of it like choosing between Home Depot and Ace Hardware, or being addressed as “room 402” versus “Mrs. Smith” in a hospital. As a local, BBB A+ rated business for over 6 years, every customer matters to us—we depend on referrals and building our reputation in the community we call home.
When you sell to a local investor, both our profits stay in Sacramento—we buy gas, groceries, and tools here, strengthening our shared community. Our pricing remains competitive because we value long-term relationships over one-time transactions. This is Darren Brown with Darren Buys Homes Cash.
