How does the Personal Instant Buyer service work?

How do Instant Buyer (iBuyer) companies work?
Instant Buyer (iBuyer) companies work on the principle of immediate and direct purchase of properties, and their goal is to purchase a property at 20-50% below its market value. These companies identify distressed property owners who are looking for a quick sale. After buying the property at a lower price, they invest in its improvement - renovation and renovation, with the aim of increasing its value by 20-60%. Subsequently, the property is resold at a significantly higher price, making a profit for both the iBuyer companies' investors and the companies themselves.
How do we at Global Capital Invest?
We at Global Capital Invest offer a similar model to the Instant Buyer (iBuyer) companies, but with a personalized approach that is adapted to the needs of our clients and includes the following steps:
1. Finding the property
2. Negotiate with the seller
3. Purchase of the property
Is it really possible to negotiate a 20-30% discount on the price of the property?
Yes, it is possible to negotiate a discount of 20-30% thanks to the fact that properties do not have one fixed price but actually four different prices when you buy with Global Capital Invest.
The four price levels:
1. Price of the offer:
2. Market price:
3. Price of offers from buyers:
4. Price of Global Capital Invest:
How is the price of the property determined?
The price of the property depends on various factors such as market conditions, motivation of the seller and the need to sell quickly. Each seller wants a maximum price, and the buyer wants a minimum price. Price is always a matter of negotiation.
According to statistics of Idealista.com (the largest real estate portal in Spain) and Idealista.it (the largest real estate portal in Italy), buyers often ask for significant discounts of 20-30%, and sometimes even more. However, these discounts are difficult to achieve without the help of specialist iBuyer companies such as Global Capital Invest. On Idealista.com and Idealista.it has up-to-date information on the levels of discounts buyers are asking for in different regions. You can view the statistics for Italy here and for Spain here.
Why would an owner sell their property at a 20-30% discount to an iBuyer company like ours instead of the open market?
Selling an iBuyer company can save the owner a lot of time and money. For example, in Spain, the standard sale of a property on the open market can take between 6 and 9 months. During this period, the owner must cover fixed costs such as:
Other incidental costs that the owner must pay if he decides to sell his property on the open market:
On the other hand, when selling iBuyer Company , the process is significantly faster and takes only 7 days to finalize the transaction. This means that all of the above costs are waived, and the owner receives directly the net value of the property without additional fees.
Therefore, even though the price of the property is 20-30% below market value, the owner makes up for this difference by avoiding the costs and time that would otherwise be required for a standard sale. This makes the transaction with iBuyer company not only faster, but also more profitable in the short term.

Could you provide me with several websites of iBuyer companies so that I can compare if the costs they state match the ones in your table?
Yes, here are some UK iBuyer companies websites:
2, The Property Buying Company
When looking at these companies' comparison charts and our company's comparison chart, there are a few differences to consider:
Because of these factors, companies indicate that they are offering about 20% less than the owner's asking price, but if we add in sunk costs, the final price offered would actually be about 30-35% less - similar to our comparison table.
Is it possible for the owner to still refuse to sell the property at 20-30% below market value?
Yes, it is possible for the owner to refuse to sell the property 20-30% below the market price. This decision depends on various factors, two of the most important being: his motivation for selling and who the potential buyer is. Whether it is an individual or an iBuyer company. Here are some of the main reasons that would influence the owner's decision:
Ultimately, it's all about negotiation. We are professionals in buying properties 20-30% below the market price and know how to approach such situations. The key to our strategy is that we don't just negotiate - we are ready to buy the property immediately. This is essential because in standard negotiations, when a buyer or real estate agency asks for a significant discount of 20-30%, the owner often reacts negatively and may even end the talks. However, when the owner realizes that he is negotiating with iBuyer, a company that offers him an instant deal, he is more likely to take our offer seriously and consider lowering the price.
