Understanding Your Property-
Selling Options
There is no single selling method that is right for every homeowner. The best path depends on the condition of the property, the amount of preparation required, the desired timeline, anticipated selling expenses, and the homeowner’s personal goals.
Headline Price vs. Seller Net
The highest advertised or offered price is not always the option that leaves the homeowner with the highest practical benefit. Compare estimated net proceeds, preparation costs, carrying expenses, timeline, convenience, certainty, and risk—not just the headline number.
Three Paths. One Informed Decision.
Direct As-Is Sale to HER
- Sell in the property’s current condition
- Avoid repairs and preparation
- Eliminate public showings
- Choose a mutually agreeable closing date
- Leave behind certain unwanted contents
Important Considerations
- Investor purchase price is typically lower than potential retail value
- Offer accounts for repairs, holding expenses, and resale risk
- All terms should be reviewed carefully prior to signing
Investor Marketing
- Exposure to multiple potential investor buyers
- The property may be marketed in its current condition
- Sellers may receive more than one potential offer - get a higher net with increased cash offers
- Less preparation required than with a retail listing
Important Considerations
- The final sales price is not guaranteed
- Investor interest depends on the specific property and market
- Access may be needed for inspections or walkthroughs
Traditional MLS Listing
- Broad exposure to owner-occupant and retail buyers
- Potential to pursue a higher headline sales price
- Professional marketing and full representation
- Competitive interest for market-ready properties
Important Considerations
- Repairs, cleaning, and staging are often recommended
- Commissions and fees may reduce final net proceeds
- Financing and appraisal contingencies affect the outcome
