Your Options — What You'd Actually Net
Option 1: Cash Offer
$414,000
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$414,000
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
$428,100
Typically 45–60+ days on market
Estimated Sale Price$465,000
Agent Commission (6%)-$27,900
Closing Costs-$5,500
Holding Costs-$3,500
Your Net Proceeds$428,100
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
$446,520
Repairs + 3–4+ months to sell
Sale Price (Full ARV)$533,000
Agent Commission (6%)-$31,980
Closing Costs-$6,000
Repairs-$39,500
Holding Costs-$9,000
Your Net Proceeds$446,520
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.
Listing as-is nets the most if you can wait. Our cash offer trades ~$14,000 for speed, certainty, and zero hassle.
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.
Outcome
Seller Chose to List
Listed as-is with HouseRush • Sold in 52 days • The right call for this seller's timeline
Why we show you all three options:
We're not just cash buyers — we're a full-service real estate team. In this case, listing as-is was the better path, and we told the seller that. We'd rather help you make the right decision than push you into the fastest one. If cash makes more sense for your situation, we'll tell you that too.
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.
