A DIFFERENT WAY TO SELL
Less preparation.
More possibility.
A direct sale may fit when your priority is reducing work, coordinating a transition, or selling a home that needs attention.
Start with the home as it stands.
You can ask for an offer without renovating, staging, or clearing every room. Discuss any belongings you want to leave and put the agreement in writing. Required disclosures and transfer obligations still apply.
Deal directly with a buyer.
There is no listing agent commission when you sell directly without an agent. Ask for a full explanation of purchase terms, closing expenses, and any existing obligations you may have to an agent.
Agree on the next step.
Share your preferred moving timeline and ask what is realistic. We work toward an agreed closing date, subject to title, approvals, and the written contract.
Choose with the full picture.
| Consideration | Direct sale | Open-market listing |
|---|---|---|
| Preparation | Can be evaluated as-is | Varies with marketing strategy |
| Price | Reflects repairs and buyer investment risk | Market exposure may produce a higher price |
| Showings | Property evaluation arranged with the buyer | Potentially multiple showings |
| Timing | Negotiated; title and approvals still matter | Marketing, financing, and contingencies affect timing |
Neither route is the best choice for every homeowner. Compare net proceeds, work, and uncertainty. Use your own advisers.
