Option A
Selling to Prime Realty Buyers
How It Works
- Contact us and tell us about your home, it takes 2 minutes
- Schedule a quick walkthrough and receive a no-obligation cash offer within 24 hours
- Close when you choose, we work around your timeline
Key Points
- Sell as-is, no repairs, no cleanout
- We buy homes with tenants, liens, or unique situations
- All-cash offers, no mortgage or appraisal risk
- No commissions or hidden fees, we cover all costs
- No showings, open houses, or buyer fall-throughs
- Fast, predictable closing on your schedule
The Honest Tradeoff
- The tradeoff with a direct cash sale is that you may accept slightly less than full retail value.
- For many sellers, that difference is worth the speed, certainty, and convenience. After repairs, commissions, closing costs, and holding costs, the net difference is often smaller than expected.
Option B
Listing with an Agent
How It Works
- Meet with a Realtor for a property evaluation
- Sign a listing agreement and prepare, repair, and stage the home
- Showings and open houses until an offer comes in
- Buyer negotiations, inspections and financing approval
- Closing: if financing holds and nothing falls through
Key Points
- Potential to sell closer to full market value
- Broad exposure through the MLS
- Agent assistance with paperwork and negotiations
Cons
“I inherited my parents’ home, and the idea of listing and renovating was overwhelming. Prime Realty Buyers bought it as-is for cash and made the whole process so simple. I had an offer within a day and closed a week later. It was a relief not to deal with the hassle of showings and repairs.”
