Cash Offer vs. Listing
Why Sell to House Junkies Instead of a Market Listing
Listing will get you top dollar with the right timing and a house that is market ready. For homes that need work, here is how the options actually stack up.
Selling to House Junkies
Sell It As-Is
No repairs, no cleaning, no property clean-out. Leave the house exactly how it is, and leave behind anything you do not want.
No Commissions or Fees
There is no agent to pay and nothing comes out of your check for us. The number on the offer is the number you get.
We Pay the Closing Costs
Escrow, title, and closing costs are on us, so there are no surprises at the closing table.
A Cash Offer That Holds
We close with our own capital, so there is no buyer's loan to fall through and no lender appraisal to blow up the deal.
You Pick the Closing Date
Most deals close in 14 days, as fast as 7 if you need to, or later if you need time to move.
Listing With an Agent
Repairs and Prep First
Buyers and their inspectors expect a house that is ready to go. Fixes, cleaning, and staging usually come out of your pocket.
Commissions Come Out of Your Sale
Agent commissions usually run 5-6% of the sale price, plus marketing and other costs.
Seller Closing Costs
Title, escrow, transfer tax, and any repair credits the buyer asks for after inspection get paid out of your proceeds.
Deals Can Fall Through
Most buyers need a loan. If their financing or the appraisal falls short, you can end up back on the market when you need to move.
Longer, Less Certain Timeline
Showings, offers, inspections, and loan approval often take 60 to 90 days or more, with open houses along the way.
