Selling As-Is vs. Preparing to List

Getting a long-time family home ready for the market can mean decades of belongings to sort, repairs that have been put off, painting, staging and months of showings. For some people that’s worth it, especially if the house is in good shape and they have time. Our comparison of a cash sale and a listing covers when listing nets more.

Selling to us skips the prep. We buy as-is, you don’t need to empty the house, there’s no commission, and we pay the closing costs. Take the things you love and leave the rest.

Moving Timeline

You set the closing date. If your new place isn’t ready yet, push the closing out. If it is, we can close in as little as 7 days when the title is clear. A lot of people like a few weeks between accepting the offer and closing so the move isn’t rushed.
