See exactly what you'd net after commissions vs. a direct cash sale — side by side, with full transparency. No sign-up required to see your numbers.
Most homeowners focus on the sale price — but what you walk away with is a completely different number. Here's what a typical Arizona home sale really costs when you use an agent.
| Cost | With a Realtor | Direct Cash Sale |
|---|---|---|
| Agent commissions | 5–6% of sale price | $0 |
| Closing costs | ~2% | $0 |
| Seller concessions | ~3% | $0 |
| Repairs after inspection | 0.5–7% depending on condition | $0 — sold as-is |
| Title insurance | ~0.5% | $0 |
| Escrow fees | ~0.1% | $0 |
| Time to close | 30–90 days | 7–14 days |
| Total transaction costs | 11–18% of sale price | $0 |
On a $350,000 home, that 11-18% adds up to $38,500–$63,000 in transaction costs before you see a dollar. A direct cash offer is typically lower than market value — but after you subtract all those costs, the difference in what you actually walk away with is often much smaller than people expect.
Our tool shows you both numbers side by side so you can make an informed decision — not a guess.
It's not always about the money. Here's what else people are avoiding.
Selling with an agent means strangers walking through your home on their schedule. A direct sale skips all of that — one walkthrough, then close.
Buyers using financing almost always request repairs after inspection. A cash sale means zero repair negotiations — we buy it as-is, period.
No waiting for buyer financing to clear. No 45-day escrow periods. You pick the close date — could be 7 days or 90 days, whatever works for you.
Deals fall apart all the time in traditional sales — financing falls through, inspection issues, buyer cold feet. Cash deals close.
Yes. Arizona homeowners can sell their property as FSBO (For Sale By Owner) or sell directly to a cash buyer without using a listing agent. You may still want a real estate attorney to review documents, but there is no legal requirement to use an agent.
FSBO means you list your home yourself and find a buyer on the open market — you still deal with showings, negotiations, inspections, and potentially a buyer's agent commission. Selling to a cash buyer means one transaction, no showings, no repairs, and a much faster close. Both skip the listing agent commission, but a cash sale eliminates most of the other costs and hassle too.
The cash offer is typically below market value — but after you subtract agent commissions, closing costs, repairs, concessions, and carrying costs during a 30-90 day listing period, the net proceeds are often surprisingly close. Our tool shows you both numbers so you can compare honestly.
It's not legally required, but it's worth considering for a traditional sale. For a direct cash sale, the process is much simpler — we handle the title and escrow process and walk you through every document.
Our tool pulls from multiple AVM data sources and averages them — similar to what agents use for a CMA, but you get to see it yourself without a sales appointment. Enter your address and you'll have a solid baseline in under 60 seconds.
