Compare your options
Three ways to sell your home. One honest comparison.
Older home, repairs you do not want to handle, or a tight timeline? See an as-is option, a renovate-first option and a traditional listing side by side, with the numbers for each.
Option 1
Sell as-is
No repairs, no showings, pick your closing date. Usually the lowest price, but the fastest and simplest.
- Best for: inherited homes, major repairs, tight timelines
- Typical timing: 2 to 4 weeks
Option 2
Renovate, then sell
Targeted updates chosen for resale value, then a full launch. More work, often the highest net.
- Best for: dated homes with good bones
- Typical timing: 6 to 12 weeks
Option 3
List it now
Light prep, pro photos and full marketing. A balance of price and speed.
- Best for: homes in good condition
- Typical timing: 3 to 6 weeks to contract
I put real numbers on each option for your home: expected price, costs, time and what you walk away with. You choose.
