What a cash offer on a Duluth house actually works out to
The honest math on how a direct offer compares to listing once you count repairs, commission, holding costs and months of waiting.
The sticker price is not the number that matters
A listing price and what lands in your account are two different figures. Between them sit agent commission, closing costs, the repairs a buyer's inspector finds, and every month of taxes, insurance and utilities while it waits.
The right comparison is what you keep, on the day you get it, against what you keep from a direct sale on a date you chose.
Where a direct offer wins
No commission and no closing costs out of your pocket. No repairs, no cleaning, no staging. No inspection renegotiation and no financing to collapse three weeks in.
And the date is yours. Two weeks or five months, both are fine.
Where listing wins, honestly
If your house is in good shape, you are not in a hurry, and top of market is the only thing that matters, list it. An agent will likely get you more.
We say that on the phone regularly. A direct sale is for people buying speed, certainty, or the ability to skip the whole ordeal.
How we get to our number
Recent comparable sales nearby, the condition of the property, and what the work will cost. We walk through that math with you rather than presenting a figure and hoping you accept it.
We make offers we can actually close on. An inflated number that falls apart later helps nobody.
Wondering what we would pay for yours?
Tell us where the house is. It costs nothing and you are never obligated to take the number.
