Your Options — What You'd Actually Net
Option 1: Cash Offer
$361,000
Close in as few as 14–21 days
- ✓ No repairs or cleanup needed
- ✓ No showings or open houses
- ✓ No agent commissions
- ✓ We cover closing costs
- ✓ You pick the closing date
Your Net Proceeds$361,000
How this works: We buy your property directly — no agents, no commissions, no closing costs. You walk away with the full offer amount on your timeline.
Option 2: List As-Is
$353,900
Typically 45–60+ days on market
Estimated Sale Price$385,000
Agent Commission (6%)-$23,100
Closing Costs-$5,000
Holding Costs-$3,000
Your Net Proceeds$353,900
How this works: We list your property on the MLS in its current condition. Buyers may negotiate for credits or a lower price based on needed repairs. Timeline depends on market conditions.
Option 3: List After Repairs
$391,180
Repairs + 4–5+ months to sell
Sale Price (Full ARV)$497,000
Agent Commission (6%)-$29,820
Closing Costs-$5,500
Repairs-$62,000
Holding Costs-$8,500
Your Net Proceeds$391,180
How this works: You invest in repairs before listing to get full market value. Higher net, but requires upfront cost, time managing contractors, and carrying the property longer.
When a property needs extensive repairs, the cash offer can net more than listing as-is — because you avoid commissions and holding costs on a lower sale price. Listing after repairs nets the most, but requires $62,000 upfront and months of managing contractors.
We can help with any of these options.
*Typical closing timeline, subject to clear title and standard conditions. Commission rates are negotiable and not set by law — 6% used as a current market estimate. All figures are approximations; actual costs depend on your property, market conditions, and the professionals you work with.
Our Cash Offer
$361,000
Seller accepted • Closed in 18 days • Estate settled without repair headaches
Why we show you all three options:
We're not just cash buyers — we're a full-service real estate team. For inherited properties with deferred maintenance, the cash offer often makes the most sense — especially when the seller lives out of state and can't manage a renovation. But we always show you the numbers so you can decide for yourself.
Get a Second Opinion
We'd never ask you to make a decision this big without doing your homework. Before you choose any option, we encourage you to:
- ✓ Get a free CMA (market analysis) from a local agent
- ✓ Get independent repair estimates from a licensed contractor
- ✓ Compare at least 2-3 cash offers if you go that route
- ✓ Talk to a real estate attorney if you have legal questions
Confident sellers make better decisions — and we're confident our offer holds up to scrutiny.
HouseRush buys properties directly and also works with a network of investors when it's the right fit. Either way, your offer and closing terms don't change — we stand behind the deal.
