Cash Offer or Listing: How Do the Options Compare?

Both options can work. The right fit depends on your home, your timeline, and what matters most to you.

Cash Offer

With Stephen Sutter, owner of Sutter Home Properties.

Price An investor offer is usually lower than what your home could sell for on the open market and is based on condition/repairs needed.
Repairs and showings The home is typically purchased as-is, with one walkthrough by Stephen instead of repeated buyer showings.
Timing Stephen has a closing guarantee of two weeks or less, longer closing timelines are also available.
Financing The purchase does not depend on lender approval. Any appraisal Stephen obtains does not change the agreed contract terms.

List on the Market

With Haley Sutter, REALTOR® with 2015 Real Estate.

Price Listing may bring a higher sale price, but total net proceeds depend on the home, negotiated closing costs, buyer interest, and any fees involved.
Repairs and showings You can list as-is, but a buyer may request repairs or a lender may require certain repairs. Expect showings while the home is listed, including inspections.
Timing The timeline depends on finding a buyer and completing the loan closing process. 30 days from contract to close is expected.
Financing If the buyer uses a loan, lender approval and appraisal requirements can affect the transaction.
Compare the estimated amount you could take home, not just the cash offer and the list price. For a listing, Haley prepares an estimated net sheet that includes expected selling costs, her listing fee, any buyer-agent compensation you choose to offer, and your mortgage payoff. Buyer concessions are negotiated as part of an offer, so they can be factored in if a buyer requests them. Stephen can walk you through the terms of his cash offer. Then you can compare both options and decide what fits.

Not Every "Cash Buyer" Is Really Buying

Some companies that advertise "we buy houses" are wholesalers. They put a home under contract, then try to sell that contract to another buyer for a fee. If no one takes it over, the sale may not close, and you're back at square one after losing valuable time.

When Stephen makes an offer through Sutter Home Properties, he is the buyer. Before signing with any cash buyer, ask:

  • Are you buying the property yourself?
  • Can you provide proof of funds?
  • Can the contract be assigned to someone else?
  • What happens if you can't close by the agreed date?

Stephen wrote a free guide on the questions to ask and the contract language to watch for.

Your Questions Answered:

How fast can a cash sale close?

Stephen guarantees closing in 2 weeks or less. If you need to close sooner, just ask. It's sometimes possible, depending on the situation at the time. You can also pick a later date if you need more time to move.

Are there hidden fees with a cash offer?

No surprises. Closing costs and terms are part of the offer and negotiated up front, and you'll see everything in writing before you sign.

Can I list my house as-is?

Yes. Most homes can be listed exactly as they are. The price just needs to reflect the condition. Buyers may still ask for repairs after an inspection, and Haley will negotiate those for you.

How do you price a listing?

Haley studies what similar homes in Amarillo, Canyon and Bushland have actually sold for, adjusts for your home's condition, and prices it to attract the right buyers from day one.

Do I have to choose one option?

No. When it makes sense, you can see a cash offer and a list price side by side, then decide.
