A different way to sell
Why consider a direct sale?
A direct sale isn't the right choice for everyone — and we'll say so. For sellers who value convenience, fewer preparations, and the ability to discuss flexible timing, it's worth understanding.
- Skip repairs, staging, and weeks of showings.
- Avoid financing contingencies that can derail a sale late.
- Discuss a closing date that fits your life.
- Compare the net, not just the headline price.
Offer terms vary — they depend on property review, title, and agreed contract terms. A direct sale may not produce the highest gross price a fully prepped listing could.
Direct sale vs. listing at a glance
Listing: Repairs, staging, and curb-appeal work to show well.
Direct: As-is — skip the prep a listing requires.
Listing: Multiple showings and open houses, often disruptive.
Direct: A single buyer evaluating the property.
Listing: Photos, listings, and promotion to reach buyers.
Direct: No listing or marketing needed.
Listing: Financing, inspection, and appraisal contingencies.
Direct: Fewer contingencies once terms are agreed.

Direct sale vs. listing
A balanced look at preparation, showings, marketing, contingencies, timing, expenses, and potential proceeds.
| Consideration | Traditional Listing | Direct Sale |
|---|---|---|
| Preparation | Repairs, staging, and curb-appeal work to show well. | As-is — skip the prep a listing requires. |
| Showings | Multiple showings and open houses, often disruptive. | A single buyer evaluating the property. |
| Marketing | Photos, listings, and promotion to reach buyers. | No listing or marketing needed. |
| Contingencies | Financing, inspection, and appraisal contingencies. | Fewer contingencies once terms are agreed. |
| Timing | Weeks to months, with uncertainty. | A closing date aligned with your schedule (subject to review and title). |
| Expenses | Agent commissions, repairs, and possible concessions. | Typically no commissions or repair costs (confirm closing costs in your agreement). |
| Potential proceeds | A fully prepped listing can achieve the highest gross price. | Trades some price for convenience and certainty. |
We don't assume every traditional sale involves the same commission or costs, or that every direct sale eliminates every fee. Compare the specific net of each offer before deciding.

How offers work
What shapes an offer?
An offer reflects several factors — and a website estimate is never an appraisal. Here's what we consider when reviewing a property.
Location
Neighborhood, access, and nearby comparable sales shape value.
Condition & repairs
The current state and any needed updates or major repairs.
Comparable sales
Recent sales of similar nearby homes provide context.
Property features
Size, beds/baths, lot, age, and notable features.
Transaction considerations
Title, liens, occupancy, and timeline affect the offer and closing.
Any number we discuss is an offer based on review — not an appraisal or guaranteed amount. Offers and timing depend on property review, title, and agreed contract terms.
Questions & answers
Frequently asked questions
Clear answers to the questions sellers ask most. For more, see our full FAQ page.
Is there any obligation if I request an offer?
No. Requesting an offer is simply asking us to review your property and present terms. You're never obligated to accept, and declining carries no cost.
Do I need to make repairs before requesting an offer?
No. You can explore a sale as-is. We evaluate the property in its current condition, and any offer reflects the work a buyer would take on.
How fast can I get an offer?
We aim to review properties promptly after you reach out, but we won't promise a specific timeframe up front. Timing depends on the property and your details. We'll be clear about next steps when we contact you.
Does a direct sale always get me the highest price?
Not necessarily. A direct sale trades some potential price for convenience, certainty, and timing. If maximizing gross price is your priority, a traditional listing may suit you better. We encourage you to compare both.
