Most cash buyers can only offer you cash. Most agents can only list your house. I'm a licensed Florida real estate broker and a cash buyer, so I can do either one. I'll give you both numbers and help you pick the one that fits your situation.
| Sell to Me for Cash | List With Me as Your Broker | |
|---|---|---|
| Price | Lower, because I take on the repairs and resale | Usually higher, if the house is in good shape |
| Repairs and cleanup | None. Sold as-is | Often needed to get top dollar |
| Commission | None | Yes, agreed up front |
| Closing costs | I pay the normal closing costs | Seller usually pays some |
| Showings | One visit from me | Many, until it sells |
| Timeline | As little as 7 days, or your date | Usually 1 to 3 months or more |
| Risk of the deal falling apart | Low. No bank loan involved | Higher. Buyer financing and inspections can fail |
| Best for | Houses needing work, tight deadlines, tenants, probate, liens | Move-in ready houses when you have time |
Not sure which is right? That's what the first call is for. Tell me about the house and I'll give you an honest answer, even if the answer is "list it."
