| Buyer exposure | Selected cash investors | Open-market buyers | Open-market buyers after improvements |
| Timing | As little as 10 days, if feasible* | Depends on market and buyer financing | Improvement time plus sale process |

A cash transaction may close in as little as 10 days when the buyer, title, property, and required documentation allow it. Timing is subject to the accepted offer and escrow requirements; it is not guaranteed.
We can present the property to prospective investors and seek competing offers. The number of offers, price, and terms depend on investor interest and the property. Multiple offers are not guaranteed.
No. Up to $50,000 may be available for approved work, subject to eligibility and program terms. Review repayment, fees, funding limits, and what happens if the home does not sell before signing. Specific terms will be provided for your review.
Not necessarily. Cash buyers often account for repairs, holding costs, and investment return. An MLS sale may produce a higher price, but can involve more preparation, costs, time, and uncertainty. Compare estimated net proceeds alongside convenience.
