| Selling w/ an agent | SOLD To Us | |
|---|---|---|
| Commissions: | +/- 6% | ZERO |
| Closing Costs: | +/- 2% | ZERO |
| Inspection Contingency*: | +/- 10 Days | NONE |
| Financing Contingency**: | +/- 30 Days | NONE |
| Average Days Until Sold: | +/- 91 Days | SAME DAY OFFER |
| Number of Showings: | It Depends | 1 (Just Me) |
| Closing Date: | Negotiated | YOUR CHOICE (I’m Flexible) |
| Repairs: | Negotiated During Inspection Period | NONE |
*An inspection contingency gives the buyer the right to get the home inspected and negotiate further if there are repair issues. If the seller and buyer are unable to come to an agreement about repair issues, the buyer has the right to back out of the purchase and reclaim his earnest money.
**A financing contingency states that the offer is contingent on the buyer being able to secure financing for the house. If the buyer is unable to obtain a loan, or if the home doesn’t appraise at the proper value, the buyer has the right to back out of the purchase and reclaim his earnest money.
