How Does a Cash Offer on a House Work?

Understand the path from property information to evaluation, offer, contract, title work and closing.

How to think about the decision

Compare the net outcome, not just the headline sale price. A retail sale can produce a higher gross price but may require repairs, staging, showings, commissions, concessions and additional time. A direct sale may trade some potential price for convenience, certainty and an as-is process.
