| Closing Costs | We pay them | 1–3% seller pays |
| Repairs Required | None — as-is | Often $5K–$30K+ |
| Showings / Open Houses | Zero | 10–50+ strangers |
| Buyer Financing Risk | None — all cash | Loan denial possible |
| Appraisal Contingency | Waived | Can kill the deal |
| Inspection Contingency | Waived | Renegotiation risk |
| Certainty of Close | ~95%+ | ~70–80% |
| Sale Price | Below market (trade-off for speed & certainty) | Market value (if it sells) |
Here's what a $400K property might net you after all costs. The "higher sale price" from listing doesn't always mean more money in your pocket.
*Example is illustrative. Actual numbers depend on property condition, market, and sale price. We provide exact figures in our offer.
Those figures are one example. Run your own property through the calculator and change any assumption you disagree with — including the margin we build into our offer.
Open the Net Proceeds CalculatorWe won't pretend a cash offer is always the best choice. If your home is in great shape, you're not in a rush, and the market is strong — listing with a good agent might net you more money.
But if you need speed, certainty, and zero hassle — or your property has issues that make it hard to sell traditionally — a cash offer often puts more money in your pocket when you factor in the true costs of listing (time, repairs, commissions, holding costs, and deal-fall-through risk).
