Listing usually gets the highest price when
- The house is in good, updated condition
- You have a few months and can handle showings
- There are no title, permit, or tenant complications
Selling direct usually makes more sense when
- The house needs significant repairs
- You need a fixed closing date
- It's inherited and the family wants it settled
- There are tenants, violations, or flood damage
- You can't or don't want to do showings
Do the math on your house
Start with what an agent thinks it would sell for. Subtract the commission, the repairs a buyer will demand, and the months of taxes, insurance, and utilities while it's on the market. Then compare that to our offer.
