Trying to decide what is the best option when selling your home? No worries! We will walk you through the pros and cons of listing your home to a real estate agent versus selling to us, the cash buyers. 

Real Estate Agent Pros

• Experienced
• Marketing and listing resources
• The “selling eye”
• Know interested buyers

A real estate agent is very beneficial when selling a home. They will tell you what needs to change in your house in order to appeal to a buyer, and then they will list your home for you. They will use all of their marketing and listing resources to get your home out there and to be seen by others. They will bring the buyers to your home and work to sell it for you.

Real Estate Agent Cons

• 4-6% fees of the final selling price
• Require you to repair home
• Require you to renovate home
• Takes months to sell
• Everything is on the agent's time
• Agent decides the selling price

Real estate agents may seem all rosy when thinking about the selling process. But don’t be fooled! With everything good, there comes a great price. You may not have to actually sell your home, but you will have to fix it up. In order for your home to sell you are going to need to make it look presentable. This means you will have to spend thousands of dollars in repairs and renovations. Keep in mind these minor changes don’t add any value to the home either. On top of paying for repairs, you’ll have to pay the realtor 4-6% commission of the final sale.

Cash Buyer Pros

• Quick sale
• Sell home as is
• No repairs
• No renovations
• Pays with cash
• No realtor fees
• No backing out
• Guaranteed cash offer

As you can see, there are so many benefits that come with selling your house to a cash buyer.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. How fast can I sell my home for cash?
Most cash home sales close within 7 days, but the exact timeline depends on your needs. We can work on your schedule and move as quickly or slowly as you’d like.

2. Do I need to make repairs before selling to a cash buyer?
No. Cash buyers purchase homes as-is, which means you don’t need to fix anything, renovate, or clean up before selling.

3. How do cash buyers determine the offer price?
We evaluate your home’s current condition, location, and market value to make a fair cash offer. Unlike realtors, there are no hidden fees or commissions.

4. Will I pay realtor fees or commissions if I sell for cash?
No. Selling to a cash buyer eliminates realtor fees, closing costs, and the 4-6% commission that typically comes with listing through an agent.

5. Can I choose my move-out date with a cash buyer?
Yes. Flexibility is one of the biggest advantages—whether you need to move quickly or stay a little longer, we adjust to your timeline.

6. Is selling to a cash buyer safe?
Yes, as long as you work with a reputable company. A professional cash buyer provides a written, guaranteed offer and works with a trusted title company to ensure the transaction is secure.
