Market listing
Often best for: broad exposure and competitive demand.
Factor in preparation, showing access, contingencies, commission or fees, and the risk of timing changes.
List as-is
Often best for: keeping market exposure while limiting repairs.
Condition still affects price, financing, inspection negotiations, and who can buy the property.
Direct or cash offer
Often best for: speed or a simpler closing when the buyer is credible.
Compare the written net—not just the offer—and verify funds, fees, assignment terms, and cancellation rights.
