Watch Jeff: How I Sell Your Home for More Money
Cash offer vs. listing it: see both numbers
An honest side-by-side. I'll fill in the real numbers for your home; here's how the two options compare.
| Cash offer | List it on the market | |
|---|---|---|
| Price | Usually lower. You trade some price for speed, certainty and convenience. | Usually higher. The goal is top dollar from the open market. |
| Repairs & prep | None. Sell as-is. | Some prep or repairs usually help it sell for more. |
| Showings | No showings or open houses. | Showings and open houses until the right buyer comes along. |
| Timing | Close on the date you pick, fast or later. | Depends on the market and the buyer's financing. |
| Costs | Every cost is in writing in the purchase agreement before you sign. | Commission and closing costs are negotiable and in writing before you list. |
| Certainty | No waiting on a buyer's loan approval. | Buyer financing and inspection can change the deal. |
| Best for | Repairs, inherited homes, tight deadlines, tenants, or "just done with it." | Homes in good shape when you have time and want the most money. |
You get both numbers for your home, with what you'd walk away with under each. If listing nets you more and you have the time, I'll tell you. Estimated list prices are opinions, not appraisals or guarantees.
Got another cash offer? Get a free second opinion before you sign.
National cash buyers, iBuyers and "we buy houses" companies can look great on the first offer. Here's what I'll check with you, for free, no strings:
- What you actually walk away withService fees, closing costs and other deductions can make a strong headline number smaller.
- Repair credits after inspectionSome offers drop after an inspection. Know what can change before you sign.
- Who is really buyingSome "buyers" sign a contract and then sell (assign) it to someone else for more.
- How it compares to listingI'll show you what your home could sell for on the market, so you know what you're giving up.
If the other offer is fair, I'll tell you to take it. That's the truth, and that's the deal.

A local broker, not a call center
I'm Jeff Latham with Latham Realty Unlimited Inc. When you call, you talk to me. I can list your home or buy it for cash, so I'll show you both numbers and tell you plainly which one I think fits. Then you choose.
Questions sellers ask
Are there fees?
Getting your numbers and a second opinion is free. If you take my cash offer, the price and every cost are spelled out in the written purchase agreement before you sign, so nothing comes out of your proceeds by surprise. If you list instead, the commission is negotiable and agreed in writing up front.
How fast can I sell?
On your timeline. A cash sale can close as soon as title and escrow are ready, or on a later date you choose. Need time to move? We plan around it.
Do I have to make repairs?
No. A cash sale is as-is: no repairs, cleaning or staging. If you list, I'll tell you which fixes are actually worth it and which aren't.
Am I obligated to anything?
No. Getting both numbers is free, and you're never obligated to list or sell. Walking away is always an option.
Will the cash offer be lower than the list price?
Usually, yes. A cash sale trades some price for speed and convenience: no repairs, showings or waiting on a buyer's loan. That's why you see both numbers side by side, with the truth about each.
Who makes the cash offer?
I do, personally or through a company I'm affiliated with. I'm a licensed broker, and if I or an affiliate would be the buyer, that's disclosed to you in writing up front.
I already have a cash offer. Can you look at it?
Yes, for free. Send it over and I'll walk through what you'd actually net, what could change after inspection, and how it compares to listing. If it's fair, I'll tell you.
Will I get a pushy sales pitch?
No pressure. I lay out both options honestly, answer your questions, and you decide, even if that means doing nothing.
