Know Your Options
There are two main ways to sell a house. Here is how they stack up side by side, so you can pick the one that fits your situation.
Side by Side
| Selling to Divine Good Offers | Listing With an Agent | |
|---|---|---|
| How fast you sell | 7 to 21 days, and you pick the date | Often 60 to 90 days or more |
| Repairs | None. We buy as is, every time | Often needed to attract buyers |
| Agent commissions | None | Typically around 6 percent of the price |
| Closing costs on your side | None on our side | Sellers often pay part of closing costs |
| Showings and open houses | None. The sale stays private | Many, over weeks or months |
| Certainty of closing | Cash in hand. No lender involved | Buyer financing can fall through |
| Who sets the timeline | You do | The buyer and their lender do |
| Cleaning and staging | Leave everything as it sits | Expected before photos and showings |
Straight Talk
We will be honest. If your house is in great shape, you have plenty of time, and you want the highest possible price, listing with a good agent can bring more money. A cash sale trades some of that top price for speed, certainty, and zero work.
The sellers who pick us usually need one of those three things more than they need the last dollar. Behind on payments, inherited a house full of stuff, tired of landlording, relocating fast. If that sounds like you, see how we buy houses and decide for yourself.
Common Questions
Will I really get less selling for cash?
Usually yes, compared to a perfect retail sale. Our offers run below full market value because we take on every repair and all the risk. What you save is months of time, repair bills, agent fees, and uncertainty.
How do I know your offer is fair?
We show you the recent sales we used and the repair costs we counted. Get our number, then compare it against what a listing would net you after commissions, repairs, and months of holding costs. The gap is often smaller than people think.
Can I change my mind after I accept?
Some states give sellers a legal right to cancel within a few days of signing. If that applies where you live, it will be spelled out in the agreement. Nothing we do shortens or overrides it.
