If you are comparing my company, Synergy Buys Houses Jacksonville, with Fair Home Buyers, you are doing the smart thing. Sellers who get two offers almost always end up with a better outcome than sellers who take the first number they hear, even when the first number is mine. So here is the comparison I would want if I were sitting on your side of the table: who each of us actually is, what each of us charges, how each of us closes, and which sellers each of us fits best. Where Fair Home Buyers is stronger, I say so. Where a fact cannot be checked, I leave it out rather than guess.
Who Each Buyer Is
