Seller Benefit

Compare savings beyond the headline price.

A cash offer should be compared against commissions, repairs, concessions, inspection risk, and monthly holding costs.

Traditional sales may include 5-6% commissions plus repair credits or buyer concessions.

Beyond commissions, a listing can involve repair credits after inspection, buyer concessions and months of mortgage, tax, insurance and utility payments while you wait.

A lower cash price may still make sense if the net proceeds and timeline are stronger for the seller.

After those costs, a lower cash offer can sometimes come close to, or even beat, a higher listing price, especially when the home needs work.

Our comparison process helps sellers look at net proceeds, not just the top-line number.

We put the cash offer and an estimated listing result side by side so you can see your real bottom line before deciding.

Quick answer

To compare a cash offer with a listing, subtract commissions, repairs, concessions and holding costs from the expected listing price. A lower cash price can still produce a similar or better net in some situations.
