A higher list price does not always mean more money in your pocket, or less headache. Here is a clear look at listing with an agent versus selling directly to Proverbs Home Buyers.
 Sold to Proverbs Home Buyers | Listing with an agent | |
|---|---|---|
| Commissions / fees | None | Up to 6%, paid by you |
| Who pays closing costs | We pay standard costs | About 2% on average, paid by you |
| Inspection & financing | None needed | Yes. Sales can fall through. |
| Appraisal | No. We make cash offers. | Yes, often required by the buyer’s lender |
| Average days until sold | Cash offer, often within 24 hours | Often around 90 days |
| Number of showings | One. Just us. | It depends |
| Closing date | The date of your choice | 30–60 days after accepting an offer |
| Who pays for repairs | We do | Negotiated during inspection |
| Transfer taxes | We pay | Seller typically pays 1% |
Which option is best for you?
We will not offer full retail value. We offer other things a traditional sale cannot: speed, certainty, and a house taken as-is. If you list and wait months to close, holding costs add up. With a direct cash sale you could have an offer in 24 hours and close in as little as 7 days.
We don’t care how dated the house is or how many repairs are needed. Fill out the form or call (717) 369-8775.
